Copenhagen
Scandinavian design, fairytale Little Mermaid and lively jazz bars
Take flights to Copenhagen for canalside strolls, Danish dining and a captivating little mermaid.
Things to do
Take in Copenhagen's slender spires and gabled houses on a relaxed boat trip through the canals on your Copenhagen holiday. The much-photographed Little Mermaid of fairy-tale fame perches enticingly on a rock at the entrance to the harbour.
Shopping
Mix shopping with sightseeing along Strøget on your Copenhagen city break. The grand pedestrianised boulevard is packed with pavement cafes, street entertainers and stores selling everything from fine Royal Copenhagen porcelain to Little Mermaid statues for your mantelpiece.
Restaurants
After flights to Copenhagen, dine alfresco and watch the sailing boats bob on the water at Nyhavn Harbour. The bustling restaurants and cafes here serve a smorgasbord of local flavours, from open rye bread sandwiches to frikadeller (Danish meatballs) and smoked herring.
Nightlife
The Danes take partying seriously, starting late and continuing till the sun rises. The central Vesterbrogade are the go-to neighbourhoods for hyggelige (cosy) pubs, people-watching lounges and pulsating DJ bars after flights to Copenhagen.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Copenhagen. Raise a toast at the Copenhagen Beer Festival in May, or buy tickets for the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July.
