Hygge & Happiness Tour

We dare you to go to your favorite search engine and look up Danish hygge and happiness. It’s super difficult to describe even though many have tried, but easy to experience on a slow-paced walk with a native Dane! So come out and get a better feel and understanding of Danish culture from a native perspective and discover why the world-famous concept of “hygge” is so important and learn how you can bring some of that unique Copenhagen vibe back home with you directly from those who are in the know.

We’ll begin our Hygge & Happiness tour near the characteristic and super charming yellow houses of Nyboder, a famed historical district beloved by the locals for its calm atmosphere. If you want to get to the heart of hygge, it’s critical you get acquainted with your group and your native guide for the tour, where everyone should feel welcome and free to ask any questions you might have about hygge, happiness or something completely unrelated.

We take our time as we walk through the small streets of Nyboder. You will quickly notice that the tour takes you through some of the oldest parts of Copenhagen, where you’ll experience hidden gems in the form of cobblestone filled streets, timber-framed houses, and green refuges of calm amongst the urban sprawl. Often you will take different unexpected turns that just scream hygge, as you get to experience that old world charm. All of them are great examples of how hyggelig our city can be if you just take the time to wander.

Hygge has to be pleasurable too. So this Copenhagen walking tour is not just about seeing and experiencing, but also tasting! So get ready to get all of your senses tingling as we sample some Danish delights from world-renowned pastries and delicious Danish flødeboller to a cup of liquid joy. It’s just not about eating, but experiencing it together! Before taking your first bite or sip, don’t forget to tune in as your guide tells you everything about these fantastic yummy treats’ significance for Danish hygge culture and how they really play into it for Danes of all ages.

At times, when we’re getting too overwhelmed by the urban sprawl, we’ll ditch it altogether and escape into beautiful green havens or tucked-away alleyways that ooze with history to relax. Here, settle in and hear the spectacular and dramatic stories of how Copenhagen came to be (hint: It includes former kings with delusions of grandeur, mental insanity, and inappropriate love triangles just to name a few of the contributing factors!). All with a stunning backdrop of Instagram-worthy sights as well as miniature and grand castles that provide jaw-dropping views.

Experience how we make it all come alive, as we explain why some people say Denmark is utopian and taken right out of a fairy-tale by showing and telling you how the local culture and our policies contribute to Danes being among the happiest people in the world year after year. Conclude the tour with your group at the cutest café in town with a sit-down with a liquid cup of joy.

Stay as long as you like, or, if you feel like exploring further, your guide would be more than happy to share some of their best recommendations for your stay here in the city.
