If you’re anything like me, your enthusiastic travel plans earlier in the year will have left you with next to no days off until the next holiday year.
This wouldn’t normally be a problem, except you’ve just wasted your last Bank Holiday of the year and your next break seems really, really far away right now.
Well, this is stating the obvious but it’s time to take a mini-break. Hell, not even a weekend break – just a day break, if you will.

Copenhagen is an expensive city – not only to stay in but also to experience.
Noma, known for being one of the best restaurants in the world, put the city on the global culinary map but it’s certainly not alone in making the Danish capital a must-visit destination for gourmet travellers.
But when the best restaurants in the city, at least according to the Michelin guide, can set you back more than £100 per head, it’s hard not to think twice about visiting Copenhagen for a good feed.

Miami is one of my favourite places to visit in the world.
I love the way that it’s almost always sunny, I love how the architecture is so vibrant and colourful, and I love the fact that there’s so much culture in such a tiny city.
Having last visited Miami almost a decade ago, I was a little apprehensive about how the city has changed over the years.

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.
