$$$Why Denmark
Denmark feels effortlessly liveable — clean design, great coffee, and a respect for hospitality and craft that shows up everywhere from bakeries to Michelin-starred kitchens.
Must Try

Before You Go

- Tap water is some of the cleanest in Europe
Local Legend
The Little Mermaid statue has been decapitated, beheaded again, blown off her rock and dressed in burqas during protests. She always comes back. Copenhageners shrug about it.
