Copenhagen is a great destination all year round, with plenty of indoor and outdoor attractions to keep you entertained. Temperatures can reach the low 20°Cs through the summer months of June to August.

Conditions are cooler in the spring and autumn but relatively dry, while Copenhagen often transforms into a winter wonderland between December and March, when snow is possible.

Reasons to visit Copenhagen

The world’s second oldest amusement park

Having first opened its doors in August 1843, Tivoli Gardens is the second oldest operating amusement park in the world. The hugely popular park features a lush pleasure garden, as well as more than 30 fast-paced rides and endless fun for kids of all ages – and adults too, of course.

Whether you’re here to experience all the thrill of the rides or just to make the most of the cafes, shows and other entertainment, the evenings are also a great time to visit. Be sure to take a ride on the ferris wheel for unrivalled views of the city.

The colourful waterfront

When you think of Copenhagen, the iconic image that springs to mind is that of the city’s colourful townhouses and pristine canal. This is the area of Nyhavn, one of the most popular and beautiful parts of the city, and it’s easy to see why.

What was once a commercial port has since been transformed into a vibrant waterfront hotspot, where inviting restaurants line the street, and the sound of soothing jazz music fills the air. Take a walk around, soaking up the infectious atmosphere and capturing postcard-perfect photos of the pastel-coloured houses reflecting in the crystalline water.

The way of life

Denmark’s thriving capital is one of the happiest places on earth, so there’s no doubt that you’ll fall in love with its winning charm and charisma. The city is one of the most liveable places in the world, partly thanks to its shorter work days, free education, generous annual leave and positive sustainability efforts.

It’ll therefore come as no surprise to you when you experience the unfaltering friendliness of the locals. Manners mean everything to the people of Denmark, so you’ll be hard pushed to find anyone more polite than those who you’ll encounter following your flight to Copenhagen.

Things to know before you fly to Copenhagen

Transfers from the airport

For ultimate convenience and comfort, pre-book an airport transfer with Etihad to get you to your hotel or other onward destination. Alternatively, taxis are available – while train services are efficient and depart regularly.

Plugs

Denmark uses a two-pin connection, with 220 volts as standard. Consider using a plug adaptor should you require one.

Getting around

Copenhagen is a small city, so it’s easy to get around most of the main attractions on foot. The city is also progressive when it comes to green initiatives, so many people ride bicycles here, which you can easily hire. The metro is a quick and sustainable way to travel further afield.

Local cuisine

Copenhagen is famous for its abundance of Michelin-starred restaurants, offering inspiration from across the globe. If it’s traditional Nordic flavours you’re after, search out Smørrebrød. A local favourite, this open sandwich arrives topped with warm meats, vegetables and delicious sauces.
