Taking Nettobådene on a canal tour is one of the best and cheapest ways of seeing the city from the water. There are other providers, but locals take this one as it’s cheaper and just as good. A round trip takes around an hour. You can get on at Nyhavn (on the opposite side of the bars) or by Holmens Kirke across from Parliament

The guide wouldn’t be complete without this. If you’re not going with kids, try to go in the evening. It’s magical when the lights come on. Lots of restaurant, and live music on the big stage on Friday nights.

My absolute favourite hang out spot in Copenhagen. During the day, it's full of people drinking (cheap) coffee, and on Friday nights and weekends crammed with people and (cheap) beer. Outdoor seating too. A real locals secret.
