Hello SL community,
I am after tips for places to go and things to see in Copenhagen next week. I have one day where I am there with a 5 and 3 year old by myself which is a bit stressful and then three days with my partner as well. Accommodation sorted but zero other plans. No idea what to wear. Help!

The weather is looking mixed for next week, so maybe take a light rain-jacket and trainers.
Some things to do, both indoors and outdoors - depends which day you get!

Tivoli Gardens in the most magical place - it’s right in the centre, not too big, easy to get around and plenty of rides for small people - plus some indoor cafes etc if the weather isn’t too good.

I’d second Tivoli gardens. Well worth a visit with kids. Torvehellen food market is also great for lots of fun things to try

The Natural History museum there would be good to take kids to, also a short walk away is the Palm House which is really gorgeous

Amazing thank you everyone! We have started the day at the natural history museum and botanical gardens as suggested (WONDERFUL). Now having a snooze and Tivoli gardens later!
I would make sure you hit Vesterbro (trendy neighborhood with cool food and the meatpacking district which has famous restaurants etc), Norrebro (trendy neighborhood), the main central area and while you’re there go to Tivoli (Disneyland was based on this), Nyhaven (colourful buildings by the water), and Christiania if youre into a hippie market vibe
Mother Wine is great if you want a chilled drink and has a nice vibe
Bottega Barlie if you want an organic wine / v trendy
Food / Sights / Areas:
Visit Grød in Norrebro for porridge, which is like a Danish staple but comes with so many healthy delish add ons and the coffee is amazing!
If you go to the one on Jæggersborggade, on that are road are some great boutiques, including second hand ones
Assistens Cemetery Norrebro - sounds weird but its an amazing cemetery worth a wander through - it’s soo beautiful and chill, people have picnics in there
Torvehallerne food market is amazing, its in between central and Norrebro - has fresh produce, and multiple street food vendors and bakeries bars eateries etc around there and inside!
There is a Stilleben store not far from here, beautiful homewares and lovely prints etc, so great just for a look
Reffen street food - by the water area has all diff street food stalls
Nearby Reffen is also Lille bakery which has SUCH GOOD PASTRIES
The botanical gardens is so gorgeous to walk through and so photogenic!
Mother in Kodbyen (meatpacking district) for good atmosphere and delicious pizza
All of Vesterbro is great to explore but especially around the Meatpacking District, Kodbyen, has so many highly rated food and drink places are around there. Super trendy, best to visit around dinner
Mad & Kaffe in Vesterbro for a Danish breakfast and really good coffee!
You select all different things for your own breakfast spread - Gæst is similar if you’re in Nørrebro
Hope that helps! x

What an amazing response!! Thank you so much. Fortunately we are coming back at half term so I can plan a full itinerary of all the suggestions we missed this time.
One surprise hit for me was the amazing beach 15mins from the city. With cafe and toilets = the dream. We followed this with a horse and cart ride through the kings deer park!
