Copenhagen short breaks are all about reducing unnecessary district switching.
A slightly simpler hotel in the right district can easily outperform a more expensive hotel in the wrong one.
In heritage-heavy districts, also check whether elevators, step-free entry, or older staircase layouts matter for your stay before narrowing the shortlist.
