It's a city that gleams with a contemporary edge, but seems to take you back hundreds of years. Whatever you're looking for -sleek or cosy, gay or straight, traditional or modern - it can provide. It's even affordable in Scandinavian terms.
COPENHAGEN
● When To Go
In the coldest winter months of January and February, the average daytime
temperature hovers around freezing point. But fear not, May to September is
much more comfortable, although realistically you can expect to see rain and
grey skies during most of the year. The most popular months for visitors to
Denmark are May, June, July and August, when locals are out at cafes and in
the city's pretty squares, drinking and lounging. Copenhagen also has a
healthy peppering of festivals throughout the year so you'll always find
something to inspire you: most fitting is the the city's Aalborg Carnival
(late May), which celebrates the victory of spring over winter.
