🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Copenhagen is a visual delight with blooming chestnuts and tulips. Expect crisp air with daytime highs of +11°C to +15°C. The "Onion" Principle: The Baltic breeze is deceptive; even if it looks sunny, the wind near the harbor is chilly. Dress in layers (thermal base, fleece, and a windbreaker). Sunlight: With sunset after 21:00, you have incredible "golden hours" for photos, but remember that temperatures drop sharply to +8°C once the sun goes down. Footwear: While the city is flat, the historic center has cobblestones. Wear comfortable sneakers.

Peder Oxe (Gråbrødretorv 11) — Located near the Round Tower. Known for its classic Danish "Smørrebrød" and cozy atmosphere. They offer a salad bar and kid-friendly options in a historic setting.

Use the Netto-Bådene (blue boats) at Nyhavn for the canal tour; they are significantly cheaper than the red ones but follow the same scenic route.
