Nordic style and charm
Scandinavia's most cosmopolitan city tops every list of the highest standard of living in the world and a visit will explain why. Transportation is impeccably efficient, Stroget is arguably the most pleasant pedestrian area in the world, streets are crossed by bike paths and the colorful Nyhavn canal, cutting-edge design and architecture are everywhere, hip cafes and restaurants invite you in, and a welcoming warmth that offsets the chilly Nordic climate make Copenhagen one of the most enjoyable European capitals. The Tivoli Gardens and Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid add an endearing fairytale atmosphere, but it's the dynamic modern side of the city that makes it such an attractive destination. Its compact size further makes it the perfect place for walking, shopping, and enjoying its number of rewarding cultural attractions.

RESTAURANTS & CAFÉS
Danish cuisine was given a boost when the country's top chefs started fusing French techniques with fresh local ingredients. The Scandinavian waters provided other sources, and the best of Nordic design created the spaces where all of it would be served. The places in Copenhagen where that has happened and where you can have the top gastronomic experiences at any time of the day are all HERE (Copenhagen Restaurants Guide)>>
BARS & CLUBS
Despite being a Nordic city, Copenhagen has the habit of eating late and staying up until morning very much like in Southern Europe. But its evening hotspots do have that typical Scandinavian design, creating stylish but refreshingly low-key and unpretentious spaces. They're mostly bars and lounges, as crowds rather socialize over a cocktail than going for a wild night of clubbing. But whether you're in the mood for drinking or dancing, there are plenty of places to consider, and they're all HERE (Copenhagen Nightlife Guide)>>
BODY & SOUL
The Danes take good care of themselves. They are an active bunch and often look for some pampering. Here's where you should go for that:
Arndal Spa - Located inside Hotel D'Angleterre, this is Copenhagen's top health center, providing physical and mental relief through massages, body scrubs, and other treatments in an opulent setting.
Avalon Spa - All the facials, massages, and treatments you could hope for are available at this spa that uses Kerstin Florian products to complete the quality service. For a literally royal treatment, go for the Royal Bliss that firms up the skin with some high-quality ingredients.
Rosenborg Spa - Located in a 19th century building, this spa provides a top-quality service to match its sumptuous decor. End your relaxing time in your private bathing room with a glass of champagne.
SHOPPING
Join everyone else down Stroget for some window shopping before moving on to Kronprinsensgade for the city's most cutting-edge fashions. If you prefer to be indoors, Magasin du Nord or Illum will likely have almost everything you're looking for.
