Why go to Copenhagen in April?

Copenhagen is a walker's dream, thanks to its compact size, pedestrian-friendly streets, and flat terrain. Stroll through vibrant neighborhoods like Vesterbro, filled with coffee shops and boutiques, or unwind in green spaces such as King’s Garden. The harborfront promenades offer scenic waterside views, and major attractions are just a short walk apart.

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”) — the concept of embracing simple pleasures — was born in Scandinavia, where winters are long and people had to find ways to break up the monotony. Broadly speaking, it is anything that comforts and nourishes the soul, from peaceful spaces to spending quality time with good company.

Welcoming visitors to Copenhagen’s harbor isn’t a lighthouse but The Little Mermaid. This iconic bronze statue sits just off Langelinie, a long pier and promenade. Over the years, it’s become a popular selfie spot and a must-visit landmark for those visiting the city.
