if its this weekend coming the weather forcast is 22c hot and sunny 
i live just outside copenhagen, let me know budget and food tastes and i can recommend some restaurants. tivoli gardens has opened recently for summer and thats a great afternoon/evening out. go mid afternoon and stroll about then eat dinner in the park, several great restaurants including a michelin starred one in the park itself. hard rock cafe is always fun and thats on site too. across the road from tivoli is the old english pub. best place for a pint in the city. otherwise dozens of cosy cafes and restaurants spread about, just avoid eating anywhere on stroget, the main shopping street. they tend to be moderately nasty and mostly expensive tourist traps. stroget is the longest pedestrian shopping street in the world apparently. at the other end to tivoli is nyhavn. lovely little harbour with shops and cafes. you can take a boat tour through the canals of copenhagen, passing the little mermaid and opera house. kings park is lovely this time of year. the metro is very clean and safe, runs all day and night at the weekend. you will need a clip card which you can buy from a machine or ticket office if they are open. everything is in both english and danish and im yet to meet a dane that cant speak fluent english so you will have no trouble if you need to ask for directions etc. hope you have a great weekend

Contact your hotel NOW to see if they have bikes you can rent, they will, and your Missus will think you are fantastic for putting the effort in.
Cycle to the little mermaid, don't take the boat.

you dont need to rent a bike, there are city bikes dotted all over copenhagen which are free, you just put a ten kroner coin to release the bike and get it back when you drop bike off. they have a map stuck to the handle bars which is handy too. cycle lanes on every street so its quite safe too. to be honest the little mermaid is a bit rubbish. its a tiny statue stuck out on a rock in the sea in a not very nice part of the harbour. the boat gets closer and you dont have to fight off other camera wielding tourists. its up to you 
im in the city most weekends so give me a pm or a buzz if you fancy a pint or need any further pointers
