Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most liveable cities, full of design shops, canal-side bars and some of the world’s most celebrated restaurants.
Beyond the capital, the Danish Riviera north of Copenhagen has castles and beaches, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art sits by the sea, and the west coast of Jutland has dunes and huge skies.
