Planning a trip to Copenhagen<\/a>? Should you visit during the fun-filled summer when the days are long or will a Christmas holiday in December<\/a> be better with plenty of festive fun and merrymaking? No matter when you plan to visit the city, it\u2019s fun and welcoming. Here is a calendar of what you can expect in Copenhagen when you go there.<\/p>\n

January<\/b>
\nIf you are here for New Year's Eve, enjoy the celebration at Amalienborg, the royal Palace. After the Queen's speech in the evening, there's lot of festive fun and when the City Hall clock strikes midnight, it's time for fireworks.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the Tivoli Gardens and ten of its restaurants will be open to usher in New Year 2013. Enjoy the magically lit gardens when you wait for the new dawn of a year.<\/p>\n

February<\/b>
\nLike in Jan, the days in Feb are likely to be short and cold. But while the Vinterjazz Festival starting on Feb 1st will shake you up, the Copenhagen Fashion Festival<\/a> from 30th Jan to Feb 3rd with its crazy sale, concerts and events will make \"fairytale-land\" seem an understatement to describe the city. Be here for this fest and the Wondercool, a month-long festival celebrating winter and you'll never notice the cold and the dark.<\/p>\n

March<\/b>
\nMarch is when the winter marches out and excitement springs in.21st March 2013 marks the reopening of Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park to visitors after winter. Enjoy the rides, restaurants and views at this 400 year old theme park or if you feel you're too old for rides, take in the wicked cabaret scene. The Copenhagen Puppet Festival from 20th to 24th March is another family entertainer that shouldn't be missed.<\/p>\n

April<\/b>
\nStarting from 11th April, the Tivoli Gardens<\/a> is thrown open to tourists who want to enjoy the wonderful spring and summer of Copenhagen. With live music, fun rides, games, green space and lakes, this garden is not just for kids. 2013's April will see the introduction of three new rides in Tivoli; all the more reason for you to visit.<\/p>\n

May<\/b>
\n\"May I extend my stay?\" Most hoteliers are badgered by this question in May. The free flowing beer at the Copenhagen Beer Festival, the merry parade and colorful ambience of the Carnival and the lively spirit of the Copenhagen Marathon makes this city a terrific place to visit<\/a> in May. Another interesting event is the Copenhagen Ink Festival from 9th to 11th May.<\/p>\n

June<\/b>
\nJune 1st marks the beginning of the opening of Copenhagen Harbor Swimming Pools<\/a> for the public.

July<\/b>
\nThe Copenhagen Jazz Festival with its exciting line-up of artists performing in venues all over the city makes July an exciting time to visit Copenhagen.

September is also the time for the Copenhagen Blues Festival and Film Festival.<\/p>\n

October<\/b>
