I used to go there a lot on business trips up to last year. Great city, compact, very easy to walk. Nightlife goes for 24 hours! Carlsberg at 5.30am is great!
A must-do is to take a canal tour by boat to get a feel for the city and to see the major sites, including the
Little Mermaid and all the new architecture along the waterfront e.g. the
Opera House.
Tivoli Gardens. 8-hectare garden and amusement park in the center. Nighttime in Tivoli -- fireworks, bands, orchestras, discos, etc.
Shopping....... I made Mrs. Carpedeum happy with great pressies! Copenhagen's famous pedestrian shopping street called
Strøget. is comprised of four streets - Frederiksberggade, Vimmelskaftet, Amagertorv and Ostergade. Great shops, including one of Denmark's top department stores,
Illum . It's a vast store of Danish and Scandinavian design. Nearby on the same street is
Royal Copenhagen Porcelain
http://www.royalcopenhagen.com/ ... very cool and modern designs. Next door...
George Jensen, a silver design company. Big H & M and Jackpot shops.... according to Mrs. C:- "different sizes to our shops"... i.e. will suit tall Irish women!
Palaces....
Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace, Rosenborg Palace. A few good art galleries and museums... check the guide books.
If you have time, you can cross the The Øresund Bridge by car or take the Øresund-train to Malmø, in less than 20 minutes!
Eating out... loads of restaurants especially in the back streets off the main shopping area and by the canals. Great pubs.
Not in Euroland, but, not anymore expensive than Dublin.
