Top Things to do in Copenhagen

Welcome to Copenhagen! EPPC26 is taking place in June, when the city is truly at its best. With long daylight hours, mild temperatures, and a strong outdoor culture, Copenhagen feels open, social, and effortlessly vibrant.

From waterfront dining and historic landmarks to cycling paths and green spaces, there’s plenty to explore before or after conference sessions. Whether you’ve got a spare afternoon or plan to stay a little longer, here are the top things to do in Copenhagen during your visit.

Soak Up the Colourful Waterfront at Nyhavn

Nyhavn is one of Copenhagen’s most iconic areas, instantly recognisable for its colourful 17th-century buildings and historic wooden ships lining the canal. In June, the waterfront is filled with people enjoying drinks, meals, and the long summer evenings.

It’s a great place to slow down, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere — whether you stop for a quick walk or settle in at one of the many outdoor cafés.

Have Some Fun at Tivoli Gardens

Tivoli Gardens is one of the world’s oldest amusement parks and remains one of Copenhagen’s most magical attractions. In summer, the gardens are in full bloom, with live music, evening lights, and outdoor dining creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.

Whether you enjoy the rides or simply wander through the beautifully landscaped grounds, Tivoli offers a uniquely charming experience right in the heart of the city.

Meet Copenhagen’s Most Famous Resident: The Little Mermaid

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale, the Little Mermaid statue sits quietly along the waterfront promenade. While modest in size, it has become one of Denmark’s most recognisable landmarks.

The visit pairs perfectly with a scenic walk along the harbour, offering views of the water, nearby parks, and passing boats.

Cycling is central to everyday life in Copenhagen, and the city is designed to make it easy for everyone. With wide bike lanes, flat terrain, and clear signage, getting around by bike is simple and intuitive.

Discover Power and Royalty at Christiansborg Palace

Christiansborg Palace is a fascinating blend of royal history and modern political life. It houses the Danish Parliament while also offering access to grand reception rooms and historic ruins beneath the palace.

The tower is free to visit and provides panoramic views across Copenhagen — especially rewarding on clear summer days.

Dive Into Summer Life Along Copenhagen Harbour

Copenhagen’s harbour is famously clean and designed for public enjoyment. In summer, people swim at harbour baths, kayak through the canals, and relax along the waterfront.

Even if you stay dry, the harbour areas offer great walking routes and a glimpse into the city’s outdoor lifestyle.

Taste Copenhagen at Torvehallerne

Torvehallerne is Copenhagen’s main food market, offering a wide selection of Danish classics and international cuisine. From fresh smørrebrød to pastries, coffee, and seafood, there’s something for every taste.

It’s an ideal stop for a relaxed lunch, casual bite, or quick introduction to local flavours.
