Scandinavian Honeymoon - Stockholm, then Copenhagen or Helsinki?

We are planning to head to Scandinavia in early August for our honeymoon. We are thinking of spending 4-5 days in Stockholm and then wanted to explore one more city: thoughts about Copenhagen vs. Helsinki?

And any ideas on where to stay in the $250 range --we are looking at Hotel Rica Stockholm?
Maybe the SOKOS Hotel Torni in Helsinki? not sure about Copenhagen?

Thanks!

Another vote for Copenhagen. Try open faced sandwiches!

Definitely Copenhagen. I lived there for two decades of summers. I have also been in Helsinki and as far as I'm concerned, although Helsinki was interesting, it doesn't come close to Copenhagen. Happy Travels!

I agree with Copenhagen. We were there last August and encountered a bit or rain, but we enjoyed the city. Your 'honeymoon', our 50th. Richard P.S. Loved Stockholm, Helsinki for us was just OK.

We don't have Rica Hotels in Denmark. Might I suggest Hotel Ibsen. Lovely and central area. And the district has a very nice lunch restaurant with open sandwiches. Restaurant Turesen, Turesengade.

We are going to Stockholm and then to Copenhagen in June. We went to priceline for Copenhagen and got the Marriott for $95 for the night for June, 2011! Happy honeymoon!
