Discover what is so special about Denmark: the cuisine, the fabulous countryside, rich history, and the wonderful Danish people (said to be the happiest people on earth!). We’ll explore traditional Danish cuisine, as well as the new and modern concepts evolving on the Nordic cuisine frontier. We will discover traditions and innovations by dining at outstanding restaurants, bicycling throughout Cop
enhagen, enjoying a cooking class at a Michelin starred restaurant, touring a nearby castle, taking a canal tour of the historic sights, all planned during the same week as the 35th annual Copenhagen Jazz Festival! (free jazz everywhere!)
