Copenhagen

Lived in Copenhagen for just under three years, and for the whole time, I have worked remotely as a freelancer. It's pretty much as perfect as you're going to get in terms of urban design; getting around is easy and safe by bike, and the public transport network is efficient and reasonably-priced. Lots of fun things to do for a relatively small city, and the locals are—from personal experience—incredibly friendly.

Pros:
- Very safe. You can walk around most areas round-the-clock and not have to worry, violent crime is largely gang-related but even then still quite rare

- Lots of fun things to do, many of which don't require a huge budget. For example, you can swim in the harbor baths year-round and simply sit outside with a book when the weather is good. Nightlife is pretty decent for pubs, bars, and restaurants; I'm not a huge fan of clubs in general, so I can't comment too much on that.

- The council actively tries to improve locals' quality of life, which is a huge contrast to where I am from (London)

- Friendly locals and a big international community. It can be hard to make friends, but I would say that you'll be okay if you join clubs/actively pursue your own interests. Instagram and MeetUp are both great options for finding people with similar hobbies :)

- A good mix of architecture. You've got pretty old houses and more interesting modern designs, some are hideous (i.e. Kaktus Towers) but most blend in quite well IMO

- The airport is very good, close to the city center, and has lots of flights across Europe and other continents

- Close to both mainland Europe and the rest of Scandinavia. You can get to Hamburg in 4.5 hours by train, for example, and Sweden is not far away

- Summer in Copenhagen is amazing. Long daylight hours, reliable weather for the most part, feels like you're on a two-and-a-half month long holiday.

- Lots of coworking spaces. I usually work from Spaces, Regus has various offices as well but these are hit and miss. The best ones are Havnegade and Fuglevangsvej in my opinion

Cons:

- Winters aren't great. It's windy, it rains a lot, and the daylight hours are short. However, that's a great excuse to visit the many cafés and restaurants, because hygge and stuff :)

- The cost of living is much higher than most European cities. If you're moving here as a remote worker and staying long-term, I would personally say that you should ensure that your income is at least $5,500 per month. Taxes are also high

- The housing market is a bit of a mess. Rent prices are high and it can be difficult to find an apartment if you're on a budget. Movinn and LifeX are two choices you can look at as starting points

- Moving to Denmark if you're not an EU/EEA/Nordic/Swiss citizen is very difficult. I have an EU citizenship through one of my parents so this didn't affect me, but you'll have to deal with a lot of paperwork if you aren't one. If you're from EU/EEA/Nordics/Switzerland, it's pretty easy if you have the means to support yourself

- The city center can be quite crowded on weekends, especially around Nyhavn etc.—but if you leave the touristy parts, you'll be fine. Copenhagen has plenty of other interesting neighborhoods anyway :)

Overall, I would say that Copenhagen is easily one of the most liveable cities in Europe—if not top of the list. The cost of living is high and it can be difficult to move here, but once you've settled, life is pretty good in my opinion. You can get around with English, but learning Danish opens new opportunities and a lot of stuff is done in Danish rather than English. If you're able to move here, and you can stand the winter weather, I highly recommend it :)

Just came back from my second proper trip to Copenhagen. Now, I've been there in February and August, which is a huge contrast in this city.

Winter:
Copenhagen is great for cafes, working in them and experiencing the "hygge" (coziness) lifestyle. Why? Because the weather is so cold, windy and partly rainy that you just don't want to spend time outside. If you have someone to cuddle with, I highly recommend going there in Winter.

Summer:
Just amazing. If the weather is good you have several places to hang out. Right sea-side you have several options to go for a swim, work out or run along the seaside. Also, if you're biker, you'll love Copenhagen because everything is bikeable.

In general I would say Copenhagen is a great city to see but if you don't want to spend shitloads of money, then just go there for a weekend. Airfare is quite cheap if you come from one of the major airports in Europe (I came from Frankfurt).

Pros:
- beautiful seaside with great possibilities
- nice cafes to experience the hygge-lifestyle
- friendly and open people
- bikeable
- some nice vegan places (Kaf for vegan cakes and Riz Raz for an amazing veggie/vegan buffet)

Cons:
- horribly expensive (like seriously. I paid around 16 € for a noodle box)
- depressing when cold
- seriously horribly expensive

Would I go there again? Yes, but probaly only in summer and for around 3 days. That's enough to see most of it.

Amazing city, transport, people, restaurants, wifi, etc...

only cons is that it is expensive and weather is bad for 6 months.

Copenhagen is way too expensive.
I have lived there for quite some time and although it's has this semi-hipster vibe, it still feels like a big village.
It's miserable in the winter because it's so windy and went.
There are much better and cheaper options, plus the people can be hard to relate to.
