Two days is enough to see Copenhagen, but you could also stay longer because the feel of the city is just incredible. It is a very lively city, you see the streets full of people and they are eating and drinking outside even though it was November. The restaurants were very nice with great atmosphere and amazing food which the Nordics are known for, although, of course, very pricey. I had always wanted to go and when "another round"/"druk" came out it only made me want to visit it more. And you will feel very "hygge"! On the third day we went to Malmö in Sweden it is only 40 minutes by train and the ride is very nice, along the very long bridge separating these two countries. There isn't a lot to see in Malmö it is more for the fun of going to another country, although I really liked it, it is a very cute small city. And here you can see more of the Nordic modern architecture. The kind where you can see into people's houses, that I didn't find so much in Copenhagen probably because I stayed within the city center.

Since Malmö was Danish until the 16th century, parts of Malmö’s Old Town show a strong Danish influence
Fika! Fika means having a break, several times a day, with friends or alone, in order to relax with a cup of coffee or tea and a nice pastry. It is a whole movement and way of life, specific to the Swedes. Fika is so important in Sweden that you will find a lot of cafés in Malmö with great coffee and baked goods! You should indulge in local pastries and treats such as kanellbullar (cinnamon buns) or spättekaka (a Skåne specialty meaning “cake on a spit”)
Old town consists of two parts; the historical and colorful West (Gamla Väster) and the rehabilitated East (Öster). Some of the streets with the prettiest ‘instagrammable’ houses are: Jakob Nilsgatan and Jöns Filsgatan. There are three squares; Stortorget, Lilla Torg and Gustav Adolf Torg. All are located very close to one another.
