Visit Copenhagen in the colder months, and you’ll find a different kind of warmth — not the kind that comes from the sun, but the kind that arises between people when the cold days make you seek togetherness rather than shade. It's when you winter swim in our clean harbour baths, defrost in one of our saunas and let the heat give you chills. It's the best cup of hot chocolate you've ever had at a random café you stumble upon. Or finding your inner peace at one of the city's unique wellness services. Copenhagen is indeed warmest when it's cold.
