Wasn’t my idea to visit in January, but here we are.
Looking for suggestions for everything - most convenient place stay, what to see, what to pack, any possible day/overnight trips to see something special in nearby countries. TIA
Are you going to be in Copenhagen primarily or elsewhere?
If you are going to Copenhagen - here are my suggestions:
Look into the Copenhagen Card. Gives you unlimited public transportation as well as free entrance into 80 sights in and around the Copenhagen area. https://copenhagencard.com
Its a great time to do a sauna experience. https://copenhot.com
If you are in Copenhagen, you are also just a 45 train ride away from Malmo, Sweden. Very much worth going if you have the time.
As for hotel suggestions, it depends on budget and aesthetic preference. Would need more info to give good suggestions.
Forgot to add, daylight at a premium so plan accordingly. And you can never go wrong with layers, wool (or equivalent if you don’t like wool) is your friend. It will be windy, make sure you top layer is water/wind proof.

Yes to the Copenhagen card! It’s bliss to be able to walk into any museum or site without having to figure out if it’s going to be “worth” it. We tripped over exhibits that completely drew us in and felt no remorse leaving somewhere if it didn’t grab us. A plus to the time you’re traveling – most of the others in museums will be school groups. You will probably be able to stroll up to the bog man and gaze to your heart’s delight.
Daylight will be at a premium, so you might consider evening events like amazing restaurants (reserve now), sporting events handball championships are in January, and this is a huge sport in Denmark!) or concerts. These can also be a great way to experience more local culture. (I like the Hotel Kong Arthur for this reason – the bar/lounge seemed to be a neighborhood spot as well.)
Highly recommend going out to the Louisiana Museum. Personally, I could amuse myself from a base in Copenhagen for a week. In fact, have done so!
Copenhagen feels relatively compact, so it’s easy to both enjoy a neighborhood when you’re there as well as to get around. I understand the sentiment about it not being when you might have chosen, but the off season is a good thing!
