Best: Jun · Great: May, Jul
Four distinct seasons run through the year here, from January's chill to July's warmth, with rain spread fairly evenly across the calendar rather than concentrated in one stretch. In June, expect highs around 20°C with rain on roughly 10 days of the month.
Copenhagen's Nyhavn harbor, with its colorful facades and canal boats, is the classic postcard image, and Tivoli Gardens (one of the world's oldest amusement parks) is worth an evening visit when the lights come on. The city's cycling culture makes renting a bike a genuinely practical way to see it, and a canal boat tour gives a different angle on the same sights. Christiania's alternative, self-governing neighborhood is a curiosity worth a walk-through even if just passing by.
Try smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) and Danish pastries.
