Home to lazy coffee houses, trendy bars and a laid-back atmosphere, it is a top spot for a relaxing weekend getaway.        

When to book cheap flights to Copenhagen

While Copenhagen is a year-round destination, it offers distinct flavours for different seasons. The most popular time to visit is usually spring and summer, due to the warmer weather and relaxed outdoor coffee culture. However, if you’re hoping to clinch cheap flights to Copenhagen, the best time to visit is probably during winter, the city’s off-season. The exception is at Christmas, when the bright lights and outdoor markets attract tourists from all around Europe.
