Denmark Holidays

When it comes to the world’s happiest countries, Denmark repeatedly bags itself a spot near the top of the list. And it’s got hygge to thank – a sense of fuzzy cosiness that oozes out of cafés, sweet shops and summer houses all year round. Plus, the country’s 400-or-so islands serve up everything from culture-packed cities to flour-soft beaches, so there’s something to float everyone’s boat.

Most of Denmark’s visitors kick things off in the country’s cool capital, Copenhagen. It’s got loads going for it, like pretty canal-side townhouses and a retro theme park that’s been pulling in the punters since 1843. The dining scene’s a corker, too – there are Michelin-starred restaurants left, right and centre. Throw shedloads of galleries, street art and museums into the mix, and it’s easy to see why this place is a massive hit with city breakers.

It’s not just cities that draw in the crowds, though – Denmark’s got natural scenery coming out of its ears. If you fancy a stint in the great outdoors, you’ve got lakes, forests and hundreds of Blue Flag beaches to choose from. Møns Klint’s one of the most popular beauty spots within daytripping distance of the capital. A stretch of chalk-white cliffs, as-clear-as-it-gets water and a forest backdrop chip in to give it its Insta-worthy good looks.
