Denmark
Denmark combines outstanding design, world class cuisine, Viking heritage and a quality of life that consistently ranks among the highest in the world.

Elect's take
"Denmark has a quality of life and a design sensibility that permeates everything from its architecture to its food and hospitality. Copenhagen in particular is one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe to spend time in."
Copenhagen has established itself as one of the world's great food cities. The influence of Noma and its alumni has transformed the restaurant scene into something genuinely exceptional. Beyond food, Copenhagen excels at culture and design. The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is one of the finest museum experiences in Europe. The cycling infrastructure is world class. Tivoli Gardens retains a genuine charm that surprises most visitors. The castles of North Zealand including Kronborg provide outstanding day trip destinations.
