Holidays to Denmark zoom in on cosy vibes, wild landscapes and some of Scandinavia’s coolest cities.

Happy days

When it comes to the world’s happiest countries, the people of Denmark always seem to have some of the biggest smiles. It’s all thanks to hygge – a sense of fuzzy cosiness that oozes out of cafés, bakeries 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.

Standout city breaks

Trips to Denmark tend to 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 people in 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 for a city break.

Scenery to shout about

Denmark’s also going to be for you if your idea of the perfect getaway is a natural escape with stunning scenery. You’ve got lakes, forests and hundreds of Blue Flag beaches to choose from here. Møns Klint’s one of the most popular beauty spots within daytripping distance of the capital. A stretch of chalk-white cliffs, clear-as-it-gets water and a forest backdrop chip in to give it its Insta-worthy good looks.
