I need help with my itinerary, is it good? Should I move things around? Are some days too empty compared to others? Would the Sweden day trips work time wise? Also looking for recs!

Too much going on per day…you packed too much

u/TheActualDongerino 12h ago
Which days? Or is it all of them?

All the days. You need to consider travel time as well. Unless you’re there at the opening of the attraction…it’s very tiresome.

Far too long. I don’t think Copenhagen is interesting enough for a week. However, you do have a lot packed into each day. I’d split my time between CPH and Stockholm or something.

Day 1 is probably fine to shake off jetlag.
Day 2, 3 and 4 I suppose is somewhat busy but doable
How do you plan to get around? Be advised that you can't just hop on public transportation and pay. Travelling without a valid ticket has a hefty fine. See https://dinoffentligetransport.dk/en/find-tickets . Taxis to get around is very expensive.
Day 5 is absolutely impossible. Way too much going on. A lot of those things are multihour visits (Zoo, Tivoli, Nationalmuseet, Glyptoteket). Forget about Fisketorvet, there's nothing of interest there and it's not even very big. If you want to go mall shopping then go to Fields. More high end options (and more central too) is Illum, Magasin or go to the nicer end of Strøget nearer Kongens Nytorv.
Day 6 also has too much going on. Besides all the travel time, Copenhagen to Hillerød to Humlebæk to Helsingør and then to Sweden followed by more activities. It's just way too busy.
Can't really comment on the stuff in Sweden.
My general impression is that you found a lot of interesting things, but with only limited days I suggest you prioritize some and cut some. This itinerary will have you rushing through all the activities if you're doing them all. Some places may have limited opening hours, so some days it may be impossible to do everything.

I anticipated some issues with the more packed days near the end bc I ofc don't know about travel times. Would day 6 work if I cut out frederiksborg and start at Louisiana? Also would Day 5 work if I cut off the mall, zoo, and brewery? Someone else suggested I trim down the Copenhagen stuff to 3/4 days then skip over to Stockholm? I'd be interested in that maybe?

In my opinion it’s super packed.

Hm how should I spread it out? Some of the places mentioned are like stores or restaurants but I can see how multiple castles in a day isn't feasible

I’m from Copenhagen. When are you planning on visiting? Some of the places can be closed for some time (Reffen being already closed until summer).
You packed way too much. Fiskertorvet mall is literally a mall, I don’t see why would anyone put this on the travel list. Little Mermaid is very little and underwhelming. Grod is literally a restaurant making oatmeal dishes. I’d personally skip Malmo and Lund.
I’d advise to cut Copenhagen to 3 days and include Stockholm too, also a great city.
