According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's worldwide business trip index 2006, Copenhagen is Europe's second - and the world's 17th - best city for business travel.

Furthermore, Copenhagen has been ranked among the Union of International Association's (UIA) top ten most used congress cities for many years. Its high standard of service and general efficiency, its low crime rate, and its cultural and entertainment attractions make it an ideal congress destination. 

Denmark – all year round

Denmark is enjoyable all year round, and each season lends its own special character and charm to the region. Guests return home with their own unique memories – depending on whether they experienced the vibrant colours and fresh air of autumn or the light and charm of summer.

Danish cities tend to feel small, with an intimate, pleasant atmosphere. Most of the larger hotels are centrally located, which means that the shops, sightseeing attractions, and congress and conference centres are close by - often within walking distance. Hotels and conference facilities situated in the outlying areas can offer picturesque, rural environments and still be within easy reach of a city centre.

Common to all hotels is a very Scandinavian atmosphere: unpretentious, calm and professional - and above all, friendly. After all, Danes are known for their hospitality and strong emphasis on cosiness (“hygge”) that makes guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

As a meeting and incentive destination, Denmark promises a safe and welcoming environment where participants can enjoy a stroll down a charming pedestrian street at any time, day or night. You will really have time to enjoy yourself because there is a notable lack of stress.

Says Walter Brinkman, independent consultant, UK: “Copenhagen has a completely different tempo of life, compared to what I am used to in London. It’s more laid-back here and less rushed, which makes a pleasant change. I’ve been here several times, so I know that Copenhagen has a wide range of facilities for both large and small conferences, which is a major asset.”

Imagine the perfect setting for your next meeting or venue, a relaxing oasis amidst beautiful scenery, with a waterfront and fresh air, a place that truly fosters inspiration and allows time and space for creative thinking.
