A route through the Danish capital

On 4 November 2026, Euronews released an episode of the travel programme Grand Voyager dedicated to Copenhagen. Presenter Lilly explores the Danish capital together with a local guide Theresa from Copenhagen by Mie, learning about the history, traditions and character of a city where historic landmarks sit alongside contemporary Scandinavian design.

Culture, bicycles and hygge

The programme begins with art: at the National Gallery of Denmark, Lilly gets acquainted with works by Danish masters alongside contemporary art. Next comes a bicycle tour: according to Euronews, the bicycle is one of the most popular ways of getting around the city, which has dedicated cycle lanes and infrastructure built around two wheels. After the ride, the presenter visits theHappiness Museum, where the museum team explains why Denmark is so often associated with happiness and how the concept of hygge influences the everyday lives of Danes.

Nordhavn, gastronomy and Tivoli

The gastronomic and urban part of the route takes place in the Nordhavn district, known for its modern architecture and waterfront neighbourhoods. Lilly stays at the boutique hotel Hotel Frihavnen, surrounded by contemporary buildings, independent cafés and views of the harbour. At the restaurant Epicurus, she samples a creative take on Nordic cuisine: seasonal produce is combined with French culinary techniques, while an intimate jazz atmosphere rounds off the dinner. The journey concludes at Tivoli Gardens, which first opened its gates in 1843 and, according to the programme, remains one of Copenhagen's best-known attractions.
