Chart-topping contentment and quality of life, blockbuster dining and design, and a cheerful emphasis on hygge – explore (and envy) what makes Denmark tick. It’s heart-warming to know there's still a country where the term 'fairy tale' can be used freely – from its most enduring literary legacy to its textbook castles.

There may, however, be no greater city in the world for homosexuals to visit than Copenhagen thanks to its tolerant and open communities and vibrant gay scene – and as a gay man here you can visit straight bars with no problems, or walk home holding your lover’s hand.
