About this activity

Danes consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, and many attribute this happiness to ‘hygge’. To foreigners, hygge might seem like a simple translation for ‘cozy’ but it’s far more.

So what exactly is hygge, and how do you create it? And how are hygge and happiness intertwined? On this self-guided walking tour through Central Copenhagen, you’ll find the answers to these questions and get an opportunity to experience hygge for yourself.

You’ll learn that hygge is about creating an atmosphere of well-being, slowing down, and truly enjoying life’s simple moments. I’ll tell you about how the city embraces both grandeur and simple pleasures.

You’ll explore how nature and quiet moments contribute to the Danish sense of well-being. At the magical Tivoli Gardens, where our tour ends, you’ll experience a place where childhood wonder, twinkling lights, and nostalgic charm create a uniquely Danish form of happiness.
