  1. Torvehallerne

    Market · Indre By

    Good for sampling on a short trip, but prices run higher and quality isn't the best.

  2. Juno the Bakery

    Cafe · Østerbro

    Rated the best pastry anywhere in the world and the only bakery worth recommending; expect a line.

  3. Prolog Coffee Bar

    Cafe · Kødbyen

    May serve Juno the Bakery pastries (unconfirmed), saving a trip out to Juno.

  4. Ruby

    Bar · Indre By

    Reservations recommended; ideal for a fancy night out.

  5. Christiania

    Neighborhood · Christianshavn

    Free to wander; worth visiting to learn about this distinct part of the city's culture.

  6. Botanical Garden

    Park · Indre By

    Many assume it costs money, but the park area itself is completely free.

  7. King's Garden (Kongens Have)

    Park · Indre By · brief mention

    The castle costs money to enter, but the gardens are completely free.

  8. Assistens Cemetery

    Park · Nørrebro

    An often-missed free sight; be respectful when visiting.

  9. Royal Library Garden (Bibliotekshaven)

    Park · Slotsholmen

    Named the top completely free thing to do in Copenhagen.

  10. Nyhavn

    Neighborhood · Nyhavn

    Restaurants and shops are priced for tourists, so look but avoid spending money there.

  11. The Little Mermaid

    Landmark · Langelinie

    The statue is small and there's little else there; worth it on a nice day or with kids, otherwise skippable.

  12. Østerbro

    Neighborhood · Østerbro

    Best suited as a base for longer stays or families.

  13. Nørrebro

    Neighborhood · Nørrebro

    More affordable than Østerbro as a place to stay.

  14. Vesterbro

    Neighborhood · Vesterbro

    Recommended base for those seeking nightlife.

  15. Frederiksberg
