Copenhagen is expensive and easy to get wrong, so the guides do the sorting for you: which smørrebrød lunch is worth booking, where a cardamom bun or a hot dog beats a sit-down meal, which museums earn their ticket, which famous sights deserve only a passing look and how to reach Roskilde, Helsingør or Malmö by train. Every place comes with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and the guide opens in your browser the moment you pay.

The six Copenhagen guides
Food guide
25 places
Smørrebrød lunches locals book ahead, hot dog carts, warm cardamom buns, the market halls and New Nordic dinners that skip the Noma price tag.
Things to do guide
23 places
Tivoli at Christmas, the museums worth paying for, towers with a view and straight verdicts on Nyhavn, Christiania and the Little Mermaid.
Family guide
22 places
Tivoli, the zoo, Experimentarium and the aquarium, the best playgrounds and parks, and plans for rainy days.
Nightlife guide
24 places
Natural wine bars, cocktail rooms behind unmarked doors, pubs with 300 years behind them, live jazz and the kebab that ends the night.
Day trips guide
22 places
Louisiana, Kronborg, Roskilde, Frederiksborg, the Dyrehaven deer park and Malmö or Lund across the bridge, all by train with exact lines and times.
Budget guide
26 places
Free museums and viewpoints, whether the Copenhagen Card pays off, kebabs and buns under €10, sea baths and getting around by bike.

Three places from the guides
Torvehallerne
Frederiksborggade, near Nørreport
Two glass market halls with around 80 stalls selling fish, cheese, rye bread, coffee, smørrebrød and Danish chocolate. Graze your way through lunch here whatever the weather. From the food guide.
Church of Our Saviour
Sankt Annæ Gade, Christianshavn
A baroque church with a spiral staircase wrapped around the outside of its spire, 400 steps that turn narrow and exposed near the top. The reward is the finest view over the harbour. From the things to do guide.
Jægersborg Dyrehave
Klampenborg, 20 minutes by S-train
Royal beech and oak woodland where some 2,000 red and fallow deer roam around an 18th-century hunting lodge. Free all year and the best winter walk near the city, so give it three hours. From the day trips guide.
From the game straight into the guide
World City Trail’s Copenhagen scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old centre. The guides carry on from there: smørrebrød for lunch, a harbour view from a church spire, a train up the coast or a free museum when the weather turns.
Copenhagen guides: common questions
What exactly is in the Copenhagen City Guides?
Six guides and 142 places: food, things to do, family, nightlife, day trips and budget. For each place you learn why it is worth it, the area, what to know about opening times and one useful tip.
When do I get the guides?
Straight after payment: the links appear on your order page and in the order email. They open in any browser on a phone or laptop, no app or login required.
Will the guides work without internet in Copenhagen?
Yes. Open each guide once while you are online and it will work offline afterwards, along with your ticks and notes. Map links need a data connection.
Are the guides available in my language?
They come in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Greek and Polish, and you can change language inside the guide at any time.
Do I have to buy all six?
No. One guide is €4.99, two are €8.99, four are €15.99 and all six are €19.99. Combined with a World City Trail game, the food guide costs €3.99 and the set of six €14.99.
