Check FlixBus ticketsFlat, bike-obsessed, and lit by low Nordic light - Copenhagen is smaller than you think and organised entirely around water.
beach
Amager Strand metro stop - 20 minutes from the centre, clean Baltic water, calm when the wind is onshore. Islands Brygge harbour baths for urban swim, right in the city.
city
Bike everywhere - Bycyklen rental is €1/hour. Nyhavn at golden hour (never midday), then cross the bridge to Christianshavn for dinner along the houseboat canal.
culture
SMK (national gallery) has free entry. Designmuseum Danmark for Arne Jacobsen chairs and 100 years of Nordic design. Torvehallerne food hall between them for lunch.
food
Smørrebrød at Aamanns or Schønnemann, not the Nyhavn tourist joints. Noma is nine months booked - try Relæ, Barr, or Kadeau instead. Andersen Bakery for cardamom buns.
