We started in Copenhagen, discovering a city that is happy with where it is in life. It will make you merry on shots of Akvavit at street food market Reffen, then offer you a chilly river dip, sauna and excellent coffee the next morning. Copenhagen is also incredibly child-friendly and packed with museums and galleries.
