Copenhagen is a common embarkation port for Baltic Sea cruises to Stockholm, Helsinki, and beyond, and it is worth arriving a day early. The candy-colored townhouses along the Nyhavn canal, Tivoli Gardens, and the Little Mermaid statue are all here. The city is compact and built for bikes, and most of it is walkable or a short ride from the cruise terminal.
