  • Visiting the Happiness Museum- the first of its kind worldwide!   
  • Touring Nordhavn, which has been named the “sustainable city of the future.” 
  • Taking a trip to explore Hamlet’s Castle in Helsingør - just one of many castles harboring the stories of Scandinavia’s past.  
  • Experiencing Danish hygge – a lifestyle trend described as a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.  
  • Taking a day trip to Sweden!  After a short train trip across the bridge, you will tour and explore the young city of Malmø (where half the population is under 35), where its cobblestone streets, cafes, and shops will delight you.
