DO take time to do Copenhagen justice. It's a great city to just walk around ... and, tourist trap that it is, sitting outside a bar/restaurant on Nyhaven on a nice day, is hard to beat.

Stockholm is mega expensive, but a walk around Gamlastan is an enjoyable hour or so. A circular around Ostermalm taking in food/drink in Saluhall is a good diversion. This is a great little excursion for a day https://www.visitstockholm.com/o/fjaderholmarna/

Did I mention that Stockholm is expensive?

Slussen/Sodermalm/ Djurgarden are other places to check out.
When I go, I walk everywhere that doesn't involve crossing water.

Thanks - the reason for the short stop in Copenhagen is we were there a couple of years ago. Love the place.

Have you been to Gothenburg? Seems to look pretty good too.

And - if you have any intel on whether Stockholm is expensive or not that would be great 😊

No-one in Sweden takes cash. It would make sense to have a card in Swedish kroner; I use a Wise debit card.
 
I prefer Gothenburg to Stockholm actually. Stockholm is more attractive of the two places but great atmosphere in Gothenburg, fabulous bars/restaurants and things to do.
