Copenhagen Cosy Tour – Chasing Danish ‘ Hygge’

It is hyggeligt!

The Scandinavian word “Hygge” (pronounced hue-gah) was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017, but what is ‘hygge’??

Hygge is a word Danes use every day and it is deeply embedded in our psyche. There is no simple English translation for the term, but it is the state of feeling warm, snug, safe, happy, content, loved and at peace. If you ask a Dane, they will likely say that hygge is something you do with family and friends, creating intimacy, conviviality and comfort. Hygge is the art of feeling happy, being you, and of making the ordinary feel extraordinary.

Chasing the mentality

Join us on this tour where we will explore the world of “hygge” as we walk through the streets of Copenhagen, showing you the hidden places and squares  in the old charming part of Copenhagen.

It does not take much to get cosy and for many Danes it is closely related to food and drinks, so of course we will take you to a hyggelig cafe or cosy park for a cup of the Danes’ favorite drink, coffee, or a nice elderflower drink and talk about the Danes and their way of life.

So if you want a hyggelig day and get under the skin of the Danish mentality, this tour is perfect for you!

Copenhagen Bike Safari

Copenhagen is a biking city!

Did you know that more than 300.000 cyclists commute through Copenhagen every day?
Each day people of Copenhagen bike 1,34 mio. km. That is 31 times around the world!
And that we have 400 km. of biking lanes to ride on?

It might look overwhelming when a big group of fast riding bikers pass you on the street, but Copenhagen is a green city where people go from A to B on two wheels. Make the jump and join us on a bike tour and do as the locals. On our bicycle safari we will explore the cool bridges along the harbour front, and see the highlights of the city. Copenhagen is full of hidden gems and green breathing holes – making it ideal for a day out on two wheels.

Haven’t ridden a bike before? We make sure that your safety comes first. We will give you an instruction on how to use the bike and equip you with a helmet, so no need to worry!

By bike you get a chance to see much more and with one of our local guides, it is time well spend!
