What is the best antidote to cold weather? Bright colours, blindingly good cuisine and a dash of magic, of course.

Luckily, we’ve found a city that offers all three. From fairytales to fine dining, Copenhagen is a city that blends storybook charm with Scandinavian stylishness, making it perfect for a winter getaway.

If all this sounds appealing, then bag today’s Big Deal for a three night, 3* hotel stay in central Copenhagen with return flights from Edinburgh included.

Walking in a Danish wonderland

Whether you are craving a hip trip or a picturesque escape, Copenhagen offers plenty of both. From canal walks to Carlsberg to more Michelin starred restaurants than anywhere else in Europe, this has all the makings of a chic winter treat.

It includes return flights with Ryanair from Edinburgh Airport, plus room only accommodation in a standard double or twin room at the 3* Copenhagen Star Hotel. The price is per person based on two sharing.

3* Central hotel

The Copenhagen Star Hotel combines a classic stone exterior with a contemporary interior. It is close to the central train station in the vibrant Vesterbro quarter and also the beach. The famous Tivoli Gardens, Amalienborg Palace and the main Stroget shopping avenue are also nearby, making this a great base for exploring the city.

A breakfast buffet is served in the lounge each morning and the hotel’s restaurant, Starburger, is across the street. There is also a lobby bar.

All twin and double rooms include a private bathroom, 32-inch LED TV with international channels, desk, kettle, hairdryer, radio alarm clock, safe and free high-speed WiFi. Some rooms have views of Tivoli Gardens.

Explore Copenhagen

From canal walks to art galleries to excellent dining, there is plenty to see and do in this pretty Scandinavian city.

Visitor highlights include The Little Mermaid statue on the Langelinie promenade and the Hans Christian Anderson statue at City Hall Square. Or you could travel back in time at Tivoli Gardens, a 19th century amusement park with wooden rollercoasters and glittering carousels.

It goes without saying that canals are a huge feature of Copenhagen and you could drink in the sight of the colourful houseboats by foot, hire bike or even boat tour. For dining and entertainment, head to the Nyhavn harbour, which is filled with restaurants, bars and a rainbow assortment of 17th-century houses overlooking the water.

For a quirkier experience, drop by Freetown, a mini-city within the city which is home to an alternative society with creative houses, galleries, music venues and eating spots.
