Day 1: A Waterfront Welcome in Copenhagen

Upon arriving in Copenhagen for your short break, you will make your way via the efficient metro system from the airport to the city centre. From the station, it is a brief, scenic stroll to the 71 Nyhavn Hotel, a beautifully converted warehouse tucked away at the quiet end of one of Copenhagen’s most iconic waterfront locations. Once settled, spend the afternoon enjoying the city’s cultural highlights. Take a stroll along the waterfront to see the Little Mermaid or explore Paper Island for a taste of Copenhagen’s culinary scene — perfect experiences on a Danish city break. End your evening wandering through the main stretch of Nyhavn, where the colourful facades and historic wooden ships provide a quintessentially Danish backdrop and an ideal start to your Copenhagen and Danish Coast escape.

71 Nyhavn

Situated in the heart of Copenhagen next to the bustling canal area, 71 Nyhavn is a beautifully restored hotel, once a busy warehouse in the early 19th Century. Original features, contemporary artworks and stunning Nordic design combine in this boutique lodging. The hotel is home to a south east Asian restaurant Kiin Kiin serving upscale cuisine within the charming atmosphere of the hotel’s dining room. Many of the hotel’s elegant rooms feature original beams and luxurious touches. Some enjoy views to the canal and habour, and all include air conditioning, luxury beds and free WiFi. A buffet breakfast featuring local Danish produce is served each morning.

The capital is renowned for its accessibility, and a variety of excursions can enhance your stay. You may choose a private guided cycling tour to navigate the city like a local, a tailored walking tour focusing on royal history, or a culinary journey through Copenhagen’s world-class gastronomy, all highlights of a Danish city break designed just for you.

Day 3: Journeying to the Danish Coast

Say goodbye to the city after final breakfast in Copenhagen, take the metro to Copenhagen Central Station to board the regional train towards the historic market town of Køge. From here, continue to the newly opened Rox Resort, a sanctuary of modern Scandinavian design on the Danish coast. Once checked in, the afternoon is yours to dedicate entirely to relaxation. Unwind within the state-of-the-art spa facilities, enjoy the heated indoor and outdoor pools, or embrace the local tradition of a refreshing plunge in the Baltic Sea if the seasonal weather permits. It is the perfect evening to slow down and enjoy the refined hospitality of the Danish coast.

Rox Resort

Located on the shores just outside the historic and charming town of Køge, Rox Resort is situated approximately 30 minutes from the heart of Copenhagen. Described as a destination where ocean meets architecture, the resort aims to offer an international ambition with a local soul.

Guests can experience a range of facilities such as a fitness centre, a sauna, and three heated pools that are available year-round. Two of these pools are located on the rooftop, appearing to float into the water, while a third pool at ground level connects guests to the rhythm of the resort.

Dining at Rox Resort includes two signature restaurants and various bars, including a terrace bar and a pool club that features music and a social atmosphere from midday until after hours. The culinary offerings range from handmade Asian-inspired dumplings to a signature steakhouse that combines classic flavours with a spicy twist.

Day 4: Discovering Stevns Klint on the Danish Coast

Your penultimate day is dedicated to the dramatic natural beauty of Stevns Klint, a UNESCO World Heritage site just a short distance from Rox Resort. Accompanied by a private guide, you will explore the towering white chalk cliffs that chronicle over 66 million years of Earth’s history. Highlights include the famous old church perched on the cliff’s edge, while your guide explains the cataclysmic events that shaped this extraordinary landscape. After absorbing the stunning scenery and fresh sea air, return to the resort to relax and enjoy the understated luxury of your stay on the Danish coast.

Hike and Hygge Tour from Rox Resort

Embark on a captivating journey from Rox Resort to the historic white chalk cliffs of Stevns Klint, where the dramatic landscape rises high above the Baltic Sea. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers more than just stunning views; it is a place where the history of life on Earth is etched into the very rock, revealing the geological secrets of the mass extinction that occurred 66 million years ago.

Your day begins at 09:00 with a pre-arranged transfer from the resort, whisking you away to the start of your coastal adventure. Led by an expert guide from Klintetours, you will follow a scenic cliff-top trail at a relaxed and comfortable pace. The journey takes you from the historic Højerup Church toward the Boesdal limestone quarry, passing significant landmarks like Stevnsfort along the way. This 7 km excursion is designed for regular walkers, featuring mostly flat terrain that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the storytelling and local atmosphere.

Midday offers a chance to embrace the Danish concept of hygge with a lunch stop at a charming local café, where you can relax and refuel. The afternoon continues with a gentle hike toward the picturesque Rødvig Harbour. Here, you will have time for a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, perhaps enjoying a coffee or an ice cream as you soak in the maritime surroundings before your return transfer at 15:15.

To ensure your comfort throughout the day, we recommend wearing suitable walking shoes and clothing tailored to the Danish weather. Remember to pack a bottle of water, sunglasses, and sunscreen for the trail. This curated experience perfectly balances nature, education, and relaxation, returning you to Rox Resort by 16:00.

Day 5: From Coast to Capital

After a leisurely morning and check-out, a taxi transfer will take you to the local station for your train back to Copenhagen, offering final glimpses of the Danish countryside along the way. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time to enjoy one last pastry or coffee in the city before heading to the airport. This final day provides a gentle conclusion to your journey, connecting the vibrant culture of the capital with the serene charm of the Danish coast, and rounding off a memorable short break in Denmark.
