Copenhagen

The Danish capital is the epitome of cool. Hop on a bike and meander through the canal-lined streets, say hi to royalty at Amalienborg Palace, or visit the Little Mermaid statue made famous by the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale. History buffs will jump at the chance to tour Rosenborg castle and Frederiksborg castle further afield, while art enthusiasts cannot miss a day trip to the world-famous Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Take a walk on the wild side in alternative Christiania, grab a beer at the Carlsberg Brewery, enjoy the sunset at Nyhavn and get right into hygge culture at one of the many cosy cafes or world-class restaurants – whatever you do, you’re bound to be seduced by the city’s laid-back atmosphere and uber-cool charm.
