Sounds scary

i'm indeed spooky but i'm always willing to say hello. we can grab a coffee or a wine or a beer.
for copenhagen, it's mostly just a bunch of really good restaurants, great walks and such. just a really lovely city. not as much good touristy stuff if you want eiffel tower class things. i guess rundetårn is worth checking out? at least that is a very silly tower with a weird backstory (the king was too lazy to walk up, so the inside staircase is made so he could be driven to the top with horse carriage. like the little mermaid, it's stupid, tiny and quaint.)
in general, researching where it's just neat walking around is great, and there's a lot of small shops where you can get excellent food and coffee. don't let the prices scare you. a lot of places are expensive, but the food standard is really high. depends on the place ofc. small local cafés are mostly great if you just want a cappucino. very hard to get a bad cup of coffee. so just taking a walk where you get a few coffees in random places as you go along the route is good. i recommend walking around the square lakes in the middle of the city. it's not much, but it's pretty lovely, there's usually birds, lots of wind of course, and there's a reason people like kierkegaard basically took walks in that area constantly. i've been there a lot, both listening to music (daytime) or drinking with friends by the trees (nighttime... mostly).
and of course: they hate tourists, but i really suggest visiting christiania. it's a really lovely place. lots of great craft shops (and no, i'm not talking about the drug areas). the buildings are all very prettified with street artsy stuff. and there's often small, good concerts, if you look for it.
it's worth going out to a bodega or bar somewhere (depending on the nature of your trip, concert sounds like no children, so). danes are usually quite cold until you've befriended them, but
in the right bars you can easily strike up a conversation and get to know a few drunk locals, it really depends on the place. not everyone enjoys this ofc, a buncha drunks, but i love some of the random people i find there, getting some insight in other people's lives, and there's a lot of random foreigners where i visit that i talk to. some of the places i like are quite trashy, ofc.
for more artsy stuff, if you have time it's worth it visiting louisiana in humlebæk. it's a museum of modern art that has a lot of cool stuff, and (again) an excellent, expensive café. the café very much runs
very quickly though. they'll very fast be at your table when you're done with your meal. but the art is interesting, and they sometimes host really cool events often aimed at international crowds. it's kind of a day trip, though, the train's like... two hours? i don't remember, to be honest.
on restaurants and bars (again, lol), kødbyen is a good place with a lot of well expensive concept restaurants and is probably the most hipster downtown area in the city if you want to get drunk or get a good meal. it's a tiny area with a lot of good spots. i haven't been there much myself, since i'm more of a dusty trash bodega person, but yea. crapton of craft beers in that area, too.
there's ofc also a bunch of parks that are lovely, and a zoo and such. frederiksberg have is good. also take a walk around assistens kirkegaard. bunch of our inner city graveyards have the double function of also being lovely parks.
oh, and huset i magstræde usually has stuff going on, and is otherwise lovely. they have a huge selection of boardgames you can rent and play with people.
tourists also really love nyhavn. it's probably the quaintest area architecturally, and usually international pictures from copenhagen are taken from that area. like a tiny harbor with a bunch of old buildings around it. there's a boat you can take around the channels for reasonably cheap, tourists do this a lot, altho idk if it's open this time of year.
other museums, uh. glyptoteket. kunsthallen charlottenborg.
and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do NOT walk on the bike lanes. YOU WILL DIE. but since you have netherlands experience, you should be good.
of course, everyone speaks a-tier english, although most events and such are hosted in danish. there's always some culture event going on if you know where to look, although yea, the language.
if you're curious where
i like to go, i can let you know. no guarantee it's for you, of course, but if you're curious. like, you can always check it out and leave.
