We love Copenhagen. Everything about it just oozes understated style and sophistication. It is effortlessly cool. Bars and restaurants (or at least the ones we’ve visited) are contemporary without being up themselves. Shops are largely of the independent variety, and always seem to be owned by people with exquisite taste. The city is clean. Cyclists […]

Copenhagen
For us, Copenhagen has everything. It’s a city, but it’s centre is small. It’s green – the bicycle reigns supreme! It’s well connected with good public transport. It’s achingly cool. It’s cultural.
