According to multiple studies, the Danish are the happiest
people on earth and they have Hygge! “According
to The Oxford Dictionaries, ‘hygge’ is ‘a quality of cosiness and comfortable
conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being'. Others
have stated ‘hygge’ as the Danish secret of happiness and work-life balance.”

beautiful town, happy people, good food, bicycles everywhere and day light for
very long hours. The best time to visit Copenhagen, June not cold but not too
