Copenhagen is the classic embarkation port for Baltic Sea cruises to Stockholm, Helsinki, and beyond, but it's a full destination on its own — from the candy-colored townhouses lining Nyhavn canal to Tivoli Gardens and the Little Mermaid statue. Compact and famously bike-friendly, most highlights are walkable or a short ride from the cruise terminal.
