It’s worth splashing out on central hotels in Copenhagen to stay within walking distance of the main attractions (including Tivoli Gardens and the harbour of Nyhavn). Hotels in Tivoli, which is at the heart of Copenhagen, are very popular and cater to a range of budgets. Other areas to look for hotels include the official city centre, Vesterbro, Nyhavn and Christianshavn.

Aarhus is the second-largest city in Denmark, and it too has a great mix of hotel types. The architecture in this striking city ranges from traditional to ultra-modern, so there is bound to be a hotel to suit your personal style.

Wherever you choose to base your break in Denmark, it pays to book hotels well in advance to secure a great rate. The summer months and the weeks leading up to Christmas (Denmark puts on some incredible festive markets) are very busy for hotels in Denmark, so it is particularly important to book in advance for a stay during these peak periods. If you can arrange a visit in spring or autumn, on the other hand, you should also book early to take advantage of keenly priced hotels in most destinations.
