Copenhagen has risen in popularity recently as one of the best destinations for a weekend city break. Whether you're a tourist travelling from afar or a fellow Dane looking for a change of scenery, renting an Airbnb for a few days is a great way to see the city and experience it like a true local.  The capital of Denmark, one of the world's happiest cities, is a gorgeous place with brightly coloured buildings, amazing food, lots of culture, rich history and architectural design, making it a place worth exploring with lots to do and see. And few cities offer such a resplendent selection of Airbnbs as the Danish capital. No matter your trip, whether you’re hunting for a table at Copenhagen’s fabulous restaurants, spending your days in its captivating museums or boogieing it out thanks to its exhilarating nightlife, there’s usually a phenomenal Airbnb to fit the bill. Here are our favourite Airbnbs right here in Copenhagen.  Time Out tip: The easiest – and quickest – way to get around Copenhagen is on two wheels, but if you prefer to hop on public transport, the DOT ticket app is your best friend.  Updated in January 2026: We think this list is pretty cracking already, but it's even better now that we've added this houseboat in the heart of the city for a truly authentic experience (and one you might recognise from a certain TV show).  Recommended: 🚲See the best things to do in Copenhagen🍷Hit up the best bars in Copenhagen🇩🇰Here's how to spend a weekend in Copenhagen Who m

A classic tale of passion and revenge, it will no doubt feature the kookiness of other Fennell flicks Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, as well as an entire new Charli XCX album specifically for the film.  Much of the Wuthering Heights story is set on home soil in West Yorkshire and its surrounding moorlands – and a lot of the film was shot there, too. Meaning that, for UK folk, the film’s filming locations are very much in-reach.

And what’s more – it’s completely free. So, what’s it like? Well, I got to experience the room – and let’s just say it’s not for the faint hearted. Photograph: Nicolas Blandin Once I was through a dark red room-style entrance, complete with velvet carpets and flickering lanterns, I opened the double doors to the grand pink boudoir. I not only found Cathy in there in the form of veins (veins!) and freckles adorning the walls and golden hair strands hanging from the table, I
