Copenhagen
Denmark
Ranked as one of the happiest cities in the world based on the value they place on friends, family and generally enjoying life, Copenhagen is a shining example of the ideal city break and never better than in the height of summer. Best explored on foot, clean lines, light-filled spaces and design-driven heritage seep into coffee shops, concept stores and galleries around the city. Effortless style extends beyond the homegrown designer offering with a cluster of restaurants that regularly rank among the worlds best. Noma is the holy grail of Nordic cuisine, but given its credentials reservations are notoriously difficult to snag. Opt instead to try the seafood offering at Kødybens Fiskebar, which is much more diverse and just as good. Situated on the coast and a good alternative to the Danish Design Museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art divides rooms into hot (well-known artists) and cold (emerging artists) in an attempt to diversify guests experiences.
