Why visit Denmark in Winter?

What are you saying?! Winter might be cold (with temperatures as low as -2°C or -29°F) but we make up for it with added warmth. It's the peak of hygge season - expect candles and a cosiness overload) and all the Christmas cheer you can handle. And we've not even mentioned Tivoli's winter season yet!

The high season of hygge

Danish winters are known to be long and dark, and so the Danes fight the darkness with their best weapon: hygge, and the millions of candles that go with it.

Denmark's top winter events

It might be cold and dark outside, but in Denmark we know how to host events that'll keep us warm and light up the long nights.
