Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Copenhagen largely depends on your preferences for weather, budget, events and crowd levels. Also, it depends on your personal preferences and what you want to experience during your trip. Here's a breakdown of the different seasons:

Spring (March–May): Spring is a beautiful time to visit Copenhagen, with blooming cherry blossoms, outdoor cafés reopening, and fewer tourists. It’s a great time for cycling, exploring Tivoli Gardens, and enjoying Nyhavn without summer crowds. Tourist numbers rise in May, and hotel prices start increasing toward peak season.

Summer (June–August): Summer is peak tourist season, with long daylight hours, lively festivals, and bustling streets. It’s the best time for outdoor dining, boat tours, and visiting Tivoli Gardens, but major attractions like The Little Mermaid and Rosenborg Castle can be crowded. This is the busiest and most expensive time to visit, with high hotel prices.

Fall (September–November): Fall offers fewer tourists, cozy cafés, and vibrant autumn foliage. It’s a great time for museum visits, food festivals, and enjoying the city's hygge (cozy) atmosphere. September still sees visitors, but by October and November, crowds thin out, and prices become more affordable.

Winter (December–February): Winter in Copenhagen is cold and dark, but festive Christmas markets, twinkling lights, and cozy hygge culture make it a magical experience. January and February are the least crowded and cheapest months, though days are short, and some attractions operate on reduced hours.
