The Danish capital of Copenhagen is a bustling city that offers something for everyone. First-time visitors to the city might head straight for the Little Mermaid or the Tivoli Gardens (remember to book in advance!) and other often top sights in Copenhagen, but there are plenty of other places and Copenhagen hidden gems to discover.
For architecture aficionados, there are medieval churches that date back to the 15th century as well as modern constructions that push the boundaries of design. For food lovers, the Danish capital has everything from Michelin star-studded restaurants to tiny bakeries. And for culture vultures, there are numerous little galleries as well as bigger museums to visit (and here are some other great places to check out if you visit Copenhagen in Winter).
So if you’re heading to Copenhagen for the first time, or returning and want to see it in a new light, here are some hidden gems that you might want to seek out.

As the list of possible destinations flashed up on my phone screen, I longed for the agony to stop. I just wanted to know where I was headed.
I was already en route to Gatwick but still had no idea where I was flying to. What a way to start a family holiday.
But it wasn’t disorganisation on my part. Rather, it’s the result of booking a mystery break with a new website called Surprise Trips.

My last visit to Miami was 11 years ago.
I stayed in a completely forgettable but budget-friendly hotel, which was just about affordable enough for a student, in the beautifully tacky South Beach. It was a fun trip – but that had more to do with the vibe of the city than the comfort of my room.
Fast forward a decade or so and I’m back in the city with a few more pounds (in more ways than one) to check into the stunning East Miami, the hip new hotel that’s anchoring Swire Group’s $1billion development in Downtown Miami.
