There’s really no bad time to visit Copenhagen. Extra-long summer days see people spilling onto the canals for laid-back happy hours and refreshing dips in the harbor; in the winter, the city turns into a festive tableau complete with lit-up Christmas markets and cups of steaming gløgg at every pub (only fitting, from the country that invented the concept of hygge). Whenever you’re visiting, set the scene for your Danish sojourn by booking one of the best Airbnbs in Copenhagen.

While there’s so much to do in Denmark’s capital outside the confines of an apartment rental (the food! The fashion! The people-watching!), these spots definitely encourage a bit of staying in. An Airbnb is your chance to get a firsthand peek at Danish design—and something about the simple elegance and functional minimalism that defines Scandinavian style is always a source of inspiration. It’s simply a matter of picking the right one for your itinerary.
From cozy one-bedrooms in the heart of the city to charming houses a mere bike ride away from the center, these 12 Copenhagen Airbnbs are at the top of our wish list.
