During my recent trip to Copenhagen, I had the pleasure of spending time with my daughter, who shared some great tips for activities that mothers and daughters can enjoy together in the city.

When traveling with others, there’s always a difference of opinion on what to do and see. What one person loves, another might find boring. This is especially true across different age groups. While I might eventually become more like my mother, for now, we have different ideas of a perfect day.

Last summer, my entire family visited Copenhagen, and everyone had a fantastic time. This summer, my mom and I went back for a girls-only trip, leaving the boys to deal with the British rain. Just like last year, we found plenty of activities that we both enjoyed, thanks to Copenhagen’s trendy neighborhoods. Here are some highlights from our trip:

Tivoli Amusement Park is a beautiful and tasteful place, unlike many other amusement parks. It has charming little houses for ducks on the lake and all the thrilling rides you’d expect. Last year, my brothers and I braved the biggest rides while my parents relaxed in the gardens. You can also visit Tivoli in the evening when it’s all lit up or watch a ballet at the Pantomime Theatre.

I have a special fondness for the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek sculpture museum, partly because of my childhood. My grandmother gave me books about famous art pieces, and my favorite was about Degas’ little ballerina statue and his ballet paintings. Seeing the statue in person was a dream come true, and the museum also features works by Gauguin and Picasso. There’s even a lovely café for a break.

No girls’ trip is complete without shopping. Danish girls are so stylish that it feels wrong not to visit Strøget, the main shopping street. Illums Bolighus is my favorite department store, and it’s conveniently located next to the Royal Copenhagen store, where my mom can browse china while I shop. Georg Jensen is another must-see for its beautiful silverware and jewelry.

If you’re visiting in the summer, I highly recommend swimming in the harbor at Islands Brygge. It’s a great spot to relax with locals, and there’s a designated swimming area with lifeguards, a children’s pool, and a diving area. It’s free to enter, and you can bring a picnic to enjoy on the grass.

My mom and I both love cocktails, and we found a fantastic bar called Lidkoeb. The bartender recommended a ginger-based cocktail, which was perfect for me. My mom enjoyed a Kolonihaven with geranium gin, apple, and cucumber juice. We also visited a VIP whisky bar with table service and a selection of fine whiskies from around the world. Copenhagen offers many great spots for evening drinks, like the Nyhavn canal, the meatpacking district in Vesterbro, or Reffen Food Hall on Paper Island.

One of the perks of traveling with a parent is having the bill covered, which means you can enjoy a proper meal and drinks. My mom and I dined at uFormel, a modern Nordic restaurant with a menu of small plates. I had ceviche and tender lamb, both of which were delicious and adventurous. We also visited Urban House in Vesterbro for hot dogs with various toppings, a fun and casual dining experience.

For a healthy and relaxing holiday, Copenhagen offers plenty of options, including spa breaks by the sea. Renting an apartment can help you live like a local and fully enjoy the summer in the city.

We flew with Scandinavian Airlines from London Heathrow to Copenhagen, which offers several flights a day. Upon arrival, we took the train directly to the city center. We used the Copenhagen Card for free public transport and discounted entry to many attractions.

Thanks to Wonderful Copenhagen and Visit Denmark for providing some of the experiences mentioned, and to SAS for Heather’s flight. This article was brought to you in partnership with Wimdu.
