WHAT'S ON
April, marked up.
Cherry blossoms at Bispebjerg
The famous sakura avenue becomes a pink tunnel for about two weeks. Go early morning to dodge the photographers — and combine it with Grundtvig Church ten minutes away.
Tivoli & Bakken open for the season
Tivoli's summer season starts 30 March and Bakken opens its gates around the same time — by April both are in full swing. At Bakken, the wooden coaster is the queue worth joining.
DO THIS IN APRIL
Make the most of it.
Picnic under the blossoms in Kongens Have
The King's Garden erupts in crocuses and cherry trees — join the locals on the lawns with bakery supplies.
If it rains: Rosenborg Castle
April showers are real — Rosenborg is the perfect shelter. Four hundred years of royal rooms and the crown jewels sparkling in the treasury, right there in the King's Garden.
More indoor daysTerrace season begins
Blankets and heat lamps appear at every café. Sitting outside in the spring sun is a competitive sport now.

Good to know
April, answered.
Is April a good time to visit Copenhagen?
One of the best. The cherry blossoms bloom mid-to-late April, the big attractions reopen, days stretch to 14 hours of light, and the summer crowds haven't arrived yet. Just bring layers.
What is the weather like in Copenhagen in April?
Typically 8–14°C, with ~14 hours of daylight. Spring arrives properly — blossoms and brighter days, but the odd shower too, so keep a rain jacket handy.
What should I pack for Copenhagen in April?
Jacket, layers and a rain jacket. April swings between warm afternoons in the sun and cold harbour wind, often on the same day.
