Denmark Travel Awards 2025
Celebrating excellence in Denmark's extraordinary travel — from Copenhagen's Noma-inspired culinary scene to Tivoli Gardens and Scandinavian hygge hospitality
Denmark's Travel Industry Overview
Denmark is one of Scandinavia's most sophisticated travel destinations, welcoming over 12 million international visitors annually with a distinctive proposition anchored by Copenhagen — one of the world's most liveable, designful, and culinary innovative cities. The restaurant Noma revolutionised global cuisine when it was named the world's best restaurant four times, inspiring a generation of New Nordic chefs and positioning Copenhagen as one of the world's most important culinary pilgrimage destinations. Copenhagen's luxury hotel market has been transformed by outstanding properties including the Hotel d'Angleterre, Nimb Hotel (overlooking the Tivoli Gardens), SP34, and the extraordinary Skt. Petri Hotel, all delivering Danish design excellence alongside world-class hospitality.
The Tivoli Gardens — one of the world's oldest and most magical amusement parks, open since 1843 — is Copenhagen's most visited attraction, drawing 4 million visitors annually to its extraordinary combination of fairground rides, live entertainment, fine dining restaurants, and seasonal theme park magic. Legoland Billund, the original Lego theme park, drives significant family tourism to Jutland. Denmark's remarkable design heritage — Arne Jacobsen, Bang & Olufsen, Georg Jensen — creates strong design tourism interest in Copenhagen's museums and design studios. The concept of hygge (the Danish art of cosiness and convivial contentment) has become a global phenomenon that international visitors increasingly seek to experience firsthand in Danish hotels, restaurants, and homes. Danish Airlines SAS provides connectivity from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport.
