With multiple airlines and frequent flights, Copenhagen is just a quick and easy hop away for a stylish Scandinavian weekend.

Fly direct with connections from the Middle East or from London on SAS or British Airways.

For enthusiastic foodies, this is the place to go with 18 Michelin stars blazing the restaurant sky.

The idea is to try something local so make sure you have reservations for lunch or dinner at Noma, Restaurant AOC, or Kokkeriet.

To experience some Danish design head for Gammel Kongevej area and dip into Georg Jensen for silver and Black for local ceramics.

The Meatpacking district of Kodbyen is now dotted with fabulous galleries like V1.

After dinner drop into Lidkoeb and sit fireside with a lush cocktail.

Whatever your travel style, Copenhagen has a pad to match.

Palace Pad accommodation:  The Nimb

Hipster Pad:  Arthur Hotels.

Maritime Pad:  The Admiral Hotel

Wonderful Copenhagen is not to be missed with weekend getaways that are utterly carefree.
