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.
Copenhagen in December brings cooler conditions, with highs around 41°F, so pack layers alongside your warm-weather gear. December sees roughly 13 rainy days, so waterproof layers and flexible plans are wise. Showers are often short-lived but can be intense. Dark and often drizzly, festive holiday lights
Crowds are moderate in December, making it a good balance between availability and weather. Dress in layers: a waterproof shell over a mid-layer handles the range between cool mornings and afternoon port temps.
