The food: Chef Matthew Orlando's sustainable restaurant Amass is in Refshaleøen, a part of the city that used to be closed off for military use. Dishes are created using organic produce pulled from the garden outside the dining room window.

The vibe: Instead of the glass and steel skyscrapers found in many capitals, Copenhagen is dominated by four to six-story buildings, with new and old rubbing shoulders.

The experiences: You're never far from water in Copenhagen and Islands Brygge Harbor Bath in the center offers a view of the city's skyline while you swim.
Wonderful Copenhagen
The stay: Sleep in five-starred luxury at the city's newest high-end hotel, Villa Copenhagen, complete with rooftop pool and situated just next to Copenhagen Central Station in a stately building that was once the Post Office headquarters.

Other options: The five-star Manon Les Suites deserves a mention for its bohemian interiors and lush Bali-inspired indoor pool you will never want to leave.
Daniel Rasmussen
Colorful character: Copenhagen is a mini-break from modern life. It's more relaxed than other cities and more human in character and scale.
