    Gonna hop in here too as I will be going in March!

    By all accounts, the Copenhagen Card is a must for travel and free entrance into some attractions, museums and tours, such as Tivoli Gardens.
    Will look into the day trip to Malmo also.

    If you are going to Copenhagen for a few days only, you don't need to think public transportation as you can walk around the city centre and see most of what you wish to see. Now, it is of course nice to be able to get around, and if so concentrate on S-trains (S-tog) and Metro. In 2019 they opened the new metro city ring and you probably don't need to go outside the city ring. Only if you are limited on walking, consider buses and taxis. But renting a bike is a serious option - the city prioritizes cycling over cars. Some say you are more likely to be hit by a bike than a car.

    Copenhagen is very expensive, but there are a lot to see for no money. You need to walk the 1 km pedestrian street (named Strøget) from the Town hall square (Rådhuspladsen) to King's New Square (Kongens Nytorv) and New Harbour (Nyhavn). From Nyhavn you can walk along the quay up to the little mermaid (prepare to get disappointed by her small size) and you'll pass the Queen's castle on the way. It's a free walk. If the sun is out, it's a lovely walk.

    You might want to visit the freetown Christiania. It's for free and within walking distance from the city centre (takes 20 min).

    On top of paid things to see could be Tivoli and/or Rosenborg Castle with the crown jewels in the basement. Many places are closed on Mondays.

    To save money, eat at restaurants outside the old city centre called the latin quarter.

    I watch a lot of videos on YouTube on how tourists experience Copenhagen and as regards to where to stay, you could consider AirBnB (in particular places located between the airport and the city centre (a metro line connects them).
