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.
Copenhagen in May brings cooler conditions, with highs around 62°F — pack layers alongside your warm-weather gear. May sees roughly 12 rainy days, so waterproof layers and flexible plans are wise. Showers are often short-lived but can be intense. Pleasant and green, long daylight hours
Crowds are moderate in May, 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.
