The humidity is much more comfortable, but there are some cloudy and rainy days. The heaviest rain falls between July and December.

What is good to know if travelling to Copenhagen?

• If you want to go to a few museums or galleries and use the public transport, buy a CPHCard. It gives you free entry to 65 museums, free transport on the bus, train or metro and discounts on many other attractions. A 24-hour or 72-hour card is available, and you can buy it before you travel from Copenhagen’s tourist site – the card will be posted to your home address so you’ll be able to use it as soon as you arrive in the city.
• The statue of the Little Mermaid has become one of the most famous of Copenhagen’s attractions. The bronze sculpture by Edvard Eriksen, based on the mermaid of the Hans Christian Andersen story, was unveiled in August 1913 and has since become one of the most photographed monuments. For a more unusual view, take a boat tour of the city – the boats travel the canals and the sea and show you most of the major monuments to be found.
• The Carlsberg Breweries and Visitor Centre are located near the Danish capital. Within the breweries is a museum and, recently opened, the Jacobson brewhouse, where you can see beer being made. The centre is open Tuesday to Sunday between 10am and 4pm.
• Copenhagen is just half an hour from the Swedish city of Malmo, and the journey there is stunning. Hire a car, or join a tour, and head across the huge Oresund Bridge that joins Denmark and Sweden. At 7,845 metres, it is one of the longest bridges in Europe.
• The Guinness World Records Museum, on the main shopping street in Stroget is a popular destination for adults and children. The museum illustrates some of the world records, with a statue of the world’s tallest man at the doorway to welcome you in. Other exhibits include statues of the world’s heaviest man (featured in front of a very large cake) and the man with the longest moustache alongside interactive challenges, such as testing how hard you can punch or discovering what it feels like to accelerate from 0 to 508 km/h in a real dragster.
