The opposite of peak season, this part of the year gives you a chance to dive into the city’s authentic lifestyle and try out popular local health trends like winter bathing, cosy cafes and urban skiing.
COPENHAGEN IN AUTUMN
Any season is a good season to explore Copenhagen. Autumn in the city is much more than bleak weather and windy days. The city’s many trees and parks take on a beautiful golden hue and everywhere is a little less crowded. At the beginning of the season, it is still possible to experience beautiful, sunny days – even some late summery ones calling for long walks outside.
As the days start to cool down, there continue to be plenty of outdoor activities around the city, and places to go on a rainy day. Take the opportunity to eat at a restaurant, visit one of the city’s many museums, go on a shopping spree or get your daily dose of ‘hygge’ at one of the numerous cosy cafes.

Danish National Gallery
Also known as SMK (Statens Museum for Kunst), this gallery is Denmark’s principal art museum and covers a wide aspect of art history. The collections date back to the 16th century when the Danish kings established their own art collections. The highlights include Danish 19th century art, illustrating the Danish golden age, as well as international and Danish art from the breakthrough from modern to contemporary art. From September 2025, you can experience the exhibition “Drawing the surreal”.
Opera, theater, or ballet
The Royal Danish Playhouse and the Royal Opera House, are two largest historical theaters in Copenhagen. The Royal Opera House is one of the most modern opera buildings in the world. Along with the famous Royal Theatre and the Playhouse, it hosts an impressive international repertoire.

It may not come as a surprise that our easily accessible city is one of the most sustainable cities in the world, encompassing economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
As with the rest of Denmark, the Danish capital has a long and strong track record of pursuing green solutions that help reduce its carbon footprint. This also applies when it comes to sustainable and year-round leisure activities to embark on; be it taking a dip in Copenhagen’s clean harbour, bike riding across the city, or skiing on top of CopenHill – and, of course, when it comes to losing oneself into excellent green dining.
COPENHILL
Spectacular and innovative in the truest sense of the words. That’s CopenHill. Go skiing on top of CopenHill – an artificial skiing slope and recreational hiking area built on top of a local waste management center.
OPEN garden CPH
Though it’s hidden well above ground, the place is well-visited by people that want to experience the farm’s special atmosphere and enjoy a good, organic dinner at the Northern Europe’s largest urban organic garden, Øens Have. An evening at ØsterGro includes beautifully flower-decorated dishes, lots of stories about the farm and, if you pick a good day, an amazing sunset over the city.
Go Running
Join a group run to explore iconic city highlights while running. Copenhagen is open for exploration for runners, but one of the great places to go for a run is, of course, Copenhagen Harbour. It’s a nice open space, there is a lot to look at in terms of architecture, and of course, you can end your run with a dip in the harbour. Read about running in Copenhagen here.
Bicycle sightseeing
Experience Copenhagen the authentic, local way – by bicycle. It’s fun, healthy, easy, cheap, and without doubt the best way to see Copenhagen. You can rent a bicycle and explore the city and the beautiful cycling bridges on your own, or you can join one of the many guided bicycle tours.
