HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Christmas at Tivoli Gardens > Dinner and drinks on one of the many bars and restaurants in Nyhavn > View from the top of the Round Tower > Day trip to Hamlet’s Castle

For many, Copenhagen conjures up images of Smorgasbord, Lego and the Little Mermaid. In reality the city is a stylish and sophisticated Scandinavian gem with countless things to see and do, its medieval centre making this one of Europe’s most charming destinations.

Denmark’s capital is home to renaissance castles such as Amalienborg Palace, Rosenborg and King Christian IV’s architectural peculiarity, the Round Tower. The impressive National Museum’s exhibits span Denmark's history from Viking treasures through the Golden Age of Scandinavian paintings and right up to the very best contemporary pieces.

The stunning Tivoli Gardens is probably the world’s most charming amusement park. Roller coasters and Ferris wheels are complimented by some of Copenhagen’s best restaurants and theatres. Danes are rightfully proud of Tivoli, the antithesis of everything Disney. Christmas is always a great time to see Copenhagen, as the Danes do festive spirit more stylishly than most.

Those with a little more time on their hands might consider a day trip to Kronborg (Hamlet’s castle at Helsingor) less than an hour’s drive from Copenhagen, or even take the train across the incredible Oresund Bridge to Malmo in Sweden.

But Copenhagen isn’t just about history: it is also a world leader in contemporary design with such brands as Bang & Olufsen, Bodum, Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen to name but a few. These brands are all readily available on Stroget, the world’s longest pedestrianised shopping street. And if shopping and culture aren't top of the 'To do' list, the restaurants, bars and nightclubs alone make a visit worthwhile. Bars stay open late into the night - the port area of Nyhavn being a particularly favourite haunt for young Danes - and nightclubs like NASA or Vega have become mainstays on the European nightclub scene.

We have selected three of Copenhagen's finest hotels, each different in style, for you to choose from: the grand old Hotel Angleterre - a Copenhagen landmark; 71 Nyhavn - a contemporary warehouse conversion on the waterfront; and the Sankt Petri - a stylish new hotel featuring modern Scandinavian design.
