Copenhagen is a popular stop on cruises around the Baltic - and for good reason, as the Danish capital is home to a wealth of sights and activities that will entertain all holidaymakers.
Baltic cruises also tend to stop at cities such as Hamburg, Oslo and Stavanger and may offer a few hours of time in Copenhagen on an onshore excursion or longer if you're booking a cruise and stay holiday in the city - whichever option you go for, there is much to see and do.
Those with just a few hours on their hands to explore Copenhagen would do well to focus on the most popular attractions.
These include guided canal tours, Tivoli Gardens, the National Museum and the Copenhagen Amber Museum.
Other top sights include Amalienborg Palace, the Round Tower, the National Gallery and Kronberg Castle.
If you have several days to spend at leisure in Copenhagen, the city has more than enough things to see and do to fill up your time.
Those with a bent for historical attractions will likely want to take in Frederiksborg and Rosenborg castles, as well as the area of Nyhavn, which was once a popular spot for passing ships to dock in - and its nautical past is still very much in evidence there today.
Families visiting Copenhagen for a few days will be able to please the children with visits to Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park, which is situated in scenic forest surroundings.
Copenhagen Zoo is also a popular destination for those travelling with the kids, while Amager Beach Park and Bellevue Beach in Klampenborg offer potential seaside holiday spots.
Sporty types will be interested in Copenhagen's many sports centres, golf courses and trekking and running opportunities.
You can also go sailing and kayaking, as well as indulge in a spot of angling in and around Kattegat, Oresund and Roskilde Fjord.
If you're planning to head out of Copenhagen for a day trip or two, Hven offers the ideal atmosphere for a quiet, nature-filled getaway, while travelling north out of the city will bring you to a region filled with many castles and palaces to explore.
