Booking tours and experiences
Timed-entry sights and small-group tours in Copenhagen sell out first in peak season. Booking the two or three experiences you care most about before arrival usually costs the same and protects the dates you want.
Fitting it into your days
Plan around 3–4 days. Group sights by neighbourhood rather than by ranking — it saves hours of backtracking.
