I will be traveling from Tromso, Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark via SAS going back to Los Angeles. On my flight back I have a 24 hour layover in Copenhagen . Is it worth leaving the airport to see a little bit of the area during the winter months? Is there plenty of things to see in Copenhagen during winter season in February? How long should I give myself to get back to the airport and through to my gate the next morning? Thank you for your info.

Yes, that sounds more fun than spending 24 hours at an airport. And there are certainly things to see and do. What time does your flight leave? If it's early it might be a good idea to sleep at an airport hotel. But it takes 15-20 minutes between the city centre and the airport by train or metro.

rgayala27 - You can go to the neighborhood of Indre By which is in the absolute city centre of Copenhagen. From Copenhagen airport, it's less than a 30 minutes train ride. In that area, you will have options to visit and tour Christiansborg Palace, Rosenborg Castle, National Museum of Denmark, the War Museum, Frederick's Cathedral, and many more attractions. Here is a link to inform you more.

There are Luggage lockers at Copenhagen airport in case you want to store your belongings before departing to explore the city centre.
