Copenhagen nieghborhoods to see are
ChristianhavenFree City of Christiania [smoke the reefer inside the city walls]KongeshavenNynhavn [a bit pricey now]StrogetBotanic GardenTivoli GardensRadhusplasen
The city has wonderful museums and known for Jazz.
There is a vibrant Gay and Lesbian scene.
The North side of the city is from the late 19th Century with beveled building corners for fire trucks to get through.
The South side has the 18th Century and older buildings.
There is too much to see only in one day.

There is also the Carlsberg Brewery to visit.
Christiana Free City is undergoing a crackdown, and, I think, won't last very long anymore (according to newspapers i read recently)
The femous little Mermaid is a bit of a disappointment as she is really very very"little" . Very recently she was clad in a burqa by protesters.
The Amalienborg Palace near the (then) passengership quays is interesting, but even more is the Rosenborg Palace, with the Danish Crown Jewels.
