Description Velvet Underground: Copenhagen

Situated a five-minute cycle ride from downtown, this trendy apartment is close to the heart of the action yet set apart enough from the touristic throngs. Inside, it’s full of charming details and harmonising colours—the jewel-blue sofa, neon orange cushions and yellow Pop Art banana make for a visually pleasing combination. The dinky kitchen is set up for quick meals at home, but when you’re in the food capital of Scandinavia, eating out is impossible to resist. Copenhagen is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world so getting about is a piece of cake. Rent your own set of wheels and take the six-minute journey to the Danish masterpieces in the Hirschsprung Collection or pedal ten minutes over the river to the picturesque Christianshavn neighbourhood. Oh, and your home is located right on the Crown Prince’s preferred biking route, so don’t be surprised when he whizzes past you on his bicycle!
