Why go
The city that invented hygge as a lifestyle demonstrates it best in the dark months: candlelit wine bars, blankets on café chairs, cinnamon buns as currency. Tivoli Gardens transforms into a fairy-lit winter wonderland from mid-November, and Nyhavn's coloured townhouses look their painterly best under low winter sun. Warm up Danish-style with a harbour sauna session after a swim — bracing, but you'll talk about it for years.
