Bakken
Known as the oldest theme park in the world, Bakken is home to more than thirty attractions that include roller coasters, merry-go-rounds and trains, as well as the circus and musical shows that can be seen every day. Bakken can be found in Dyrehaven (which means ‘Deer Park’ in Danish) – a large natural park full of old oak trees and impressive herds of both red and fallow deer.
The history of Bakken began with a chance discovery: on this spot over 425 years ago, a woman called Kirsten Piil stumbled upon a source of clean water – something very hard to find within the walls of Royal Copenhagen. This discovery led local families to start using the area for recreational and entertainment purposes. Traders and performers of all sorts soon began to arrive to keep them entertained and, little by little, the area was transformed into the great theme park it is today.
Entry to the park is free and a wristband can be purchased for 199 Kr. (€26.70) that will get you a maximum of ten rides on each of the attractions.

Denmark: In search of hygge
A study by the United Nations revealed that Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world, and it seems it all has to do with something called hygge, which is a term that doesn't even translate into other languages.
Hygge, pronounced "hoo-gah", is the art of knowing how to enjoy the simple things in life, feeling cosy and peaceful, sharing a meal with loved ones, or staying at home snuggled up on the sofa watching your favourite TV show. In a country where it's cold almost all year round and the days are quite short, a positive way of looking at life has emerged, to help people appreciate the little things in life.
If you want to be imbued with the hygge spirit, you have to visit Denmark:
