8Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen transforms into a cozy winter wonderland during Christmas.

Tivoli Gardens, the city’s famous amusement park, becomes a magical Christmas village filled with festive lights, ice skating, and Christmas stalls.

Danish “hygge” (the art of creating a cozy atmosphere) comes alive as locals light candles, drink gløgg (Danish mulled wine), and enjoy heartwarming meals. The city’s Nyhavn harbor, with its colorful buildings, is beautifully adorned for the season.
