Your favorite sister duo learns about why Copenhagen is one of the happiest cities in the world. The Danish live by “hygge”, which is a lifestyle of contentment and conviviality that comes from doing simple things with people you love. The city is full of parks to relax in and enjoy a coffee and a Danish pastry, but is also bustling with bicycling, eating, and shopping. Copenhagen even allows for an easy day trip to Sweden if you are looking for even more to do.

Copenhagen recommendations:

Nyhavn - main waterfront district with canal tours, colorful townhouses, restaurants, and cafes

Frederiksberg Gardens - huge park great for running/biking or relaxing; also has the elephant lookout point

Kongens Have (The King’s Garden) - beautiful gardens and castle views

Restaurant - Reffen, the largest street food market in Northern Europe (only open March-September)

Day trip - across the Øresund Bridge to Malmö, Sweden

Danish variety store - Flying Tiger
