Copenhagen Travel Highlights It’s a well-documented fact that the Danes are some of the happiest people in the world, and after spending time in this charming and compact Scandinavian city it’s easy to see why. Hans Christian Anderson was onto something when he sung about this “Wonderful Wonderful” place in his 1952 musical, because Copenhagen is a city full of interesting (and might I add, extremely well-dressed) citizens who truly savour the simple things in life: good food, good work, good design, good friends/family and good fun – it’s all in a days work for the Danish.

From traditional ground meats and fish to more contemporary twists, the food around town is truly delicious. Just quietly, I spent about half my time leisurely stuffing your face at many Michelin-starred eateries, and probably gained a couple of kilos in the process.. oh well it was all worth it. The best way to describe Copenhagen is like a warm comforting embrace for the unassuming creative kids, those who value lifestyle over living and culture over uncouthness.
