Compare Copenhagen holidays

It’s hard not to feel happy on holidays in Copenhagen. Considered by many to be Europe’s happiest capital, the city is regularly listed as the world’s best for cycling and is among the coolest places to live on Earth. Heard of ‘hygge’? It’s the Danish word for a feeling of cosiness and contentment. It doesn’t translate exactly into any other language, but snare one of the low season city break deals in Copenhagen during winter and you should soon understand exactly what it means.

Copenhagen is perfect for a half-term getaway

For a city, Copenhagen is family holiday territory par excellence. Not only is it home to a Hans Christian Andersen museum, the Little Mermaid and Christiania Bikes, it also boasts enormous aquariums, the famous Tivoli Gardens amusement park and several beaches, making it perfect for half-term and summer escapes.

Copenhagen weekend breaks offer lessons in cool

If you are looking for cheap city breaks, Copenhagen probably won’t fit the bill. There’s no way around it – this city is expensive. If you want, however, to experience some of Europe’s coolest, trendiest and most creative districts, you’re in the right place.

The Vesterbro neighbourhood is one of the hippest in Europe, while Nørrebro as good as invented the brewpub. The Old Harbour area is awash with exciting ‘New Nordic’ restaurants and nowhere in Copenhagen does cocktail hour, designer gin palaces and luxury shopping quite like elegant Frederiksberg.
