Luxury Holidays to Copenhagen

Access into Denmark is made easy with Copenhagen and it is the perfect spot to be based for a city escape, a stopover before perhaps going further afield in your adventure.

A word from our travel specialist in Copenhagen

In Copenhagen, locals bike to Michelin-starred restaurants, castles sit next to cutting-edge architecture, and cafés feel like extensions of your living room. From the colourful townhouses of Nyhavn to the fairytale magic of Tivoli Gardens and the iconic Little Mermaid watching over the harbour, the city blends history, whimsy, and modern edge at every turn.

Here, cycling isn’t just transport, it’s a way of life. The coffee is strong, the pastries are buttery perfection, and the food scene swings from cosy street-side smørrebrød to world-renowned tasting menus. Copenhagen doesn’t try to impress, it just does.

Explore Copenhagen

Access into Denmark is made easy with Copenhagen and it is the perfect spot to be based for a city escape, a stopover before perhaps going further afield in your adventure. The city is immersed with so much to do and what makes it even better is that it can truly cater to all types of experiences you might be looking to have.

For those who enjoy their food, Copenhagen is host to a wealth of restaurants and includes 23 Michelin Stars which is a truly remarkable achievement that would keep food enthusiasts particularly entertained.

Aside from the food, there is plenty of culture to discover along with some of the brilliant museums such as The Happiness Museum (find out why the Danish are the happiest nation in the world), Designmusuem Danmark, Arken Museum of Modern Art, and the National Museum of Denmark – to name a few!

If you are a family wanting to escape for a long weekend then the city can also offer plenty to keep everyone occupied – for a start, there is the city’s famous amusement park Tivoli Gardens which is the second oldest amusement park in the world – the first being Bakken which can also be discovered here. There are some great trips to see the city by bike, boat, or on foot too.

For those that love their Nordic TV shows and films, you can tread in the footsteps of Birgitte Nyborg from Borgen, dance where Mad Mikkelsen saw off Another Round, and marvel at the stunning Øresund Bridge so prominent in many series including The Bridge itself.

Getting There

Copenhagen has access through its main International airport but it is also accessible via ferry or even train if you looking to connect (or head to) further locations such as Sweden or Norway.

The city is made up by metro system, a train line, bus service, and once you are in the city you are able to get to most places by foot or join the rest of the city’s residents by hopping onto a bike!

Climate

With Denmark being surrounded by the ocean its winters are perhaps not as harsh as those of its Nordic neighbours but it still can get quite chilly during the winter months and at times foggy.

In Spring and Summer, the temperatures begin to get much warmer with July being its hottest month, though it is suggested that if you want to take a dip out there then August is the month to do that!

Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.

We – the whole family – loved the whole journey!!

I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.

Rosie

We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.

Andrew

What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.

Giles

We did! Everything was truly wonderful! I think the Holman Husky Lodge was our favourite place. Beautiful accommodations, but best of all, wonderful people! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, excellent food, we really enjoyed our time there. We also greatly enjoyed Bergen! Opus XVI was beautiful and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars and take in the sights. All of our drivers were punctual and friendly. The itinerary was full but not overfull.

Thank you so much! It was an epic trip, we are taking home wonderful memories!

Shelly

Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.

Karen

Russell Snook

Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!

Tori

My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.

Emily

The ease of everything stood out to me. All we had to do was be there at the right time. The dog sledding was the highlight for my daughter and sister. We had the best time! For me, Manshausen was the highlight. We were very lucky and the only guests there for the majority of our stay. The staff was amazing and the food was so delicious. We had moose steak and it was the best meal I’ve ever had.

The cabins were comfortable and we were so lucky to have 2 clear nights where we just sat and watched the northern lights. We were able to get some awesome pictures too.

I appreciate all your time and care with planning our trip! I won’t hesitate to use Off the Map travel for our next adventure.
