What you’ll do

Discover my home with this 5 day, 4 night Copenhagen itinerary, with a day trip to Malmö. After living in Malmö for nearly four years, I have explored both of these cities deeply, and fell in love with this part of the world I've chosen to call home.

This guide provides you everything you need to know to make the most out of your time in Malmö and Copenhagen, from the world-class food culture to the hidden local gems.

If you want to make the most of your time in Copenhagen, I'd really recommend renting a bike. However, I'd only suggest this for relatively experienced bike riders. Otherwise, Copenhagen is a relatively small city and it's easy to explore by metro and foot.

You've made it to Copenhagen, my favourite city in the world. Check into your hotel (I've included a couple recommendations in the guide, all in the Vesterbro neighbourhood), and start exploring. I'd recommend settling into the city by ticking off a couple of the more touristy must-dos today before heading out to a street food market for a casual dinner.
