Move over, Disney World. Denmark is the happiest place on Earth. Copenhagen is home to world-renowned restaurants, fairytale-like architecture, and, of course, traditional smørrebrød. This Nordic capital buzzes year-round—yes, even on those winter days when the sun shines for about four hours total. (Because #hygge, right?) Here are the most gorgeous, convenient, and design-centric Copenhagen Airbnbs, with an extra dose of hygge.
We hope you love the spaces and stays we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
1. Elegant Airbnb in Nyhavn
Though Copenhagen is relatively walkable (or bikeable), out-of-towners often prefer to stay in the Indre By (city center). Located about four minutes from Tivol — the world’s third-oldest amusement park — and mere steps from City Hall, this two-bedroom condo is dually ornate and luxurious. It boasts a full kitchen for travelers who want to cook for themselves. Hygge manifests in many forms in this apartment, but especially in the selection of modern artwork and the light seeping in from the grand glass windows. After a busy day exploring Copenhagen, guests of this Airbnb say they often unwind by sipping coffee on the property’s courtyard-facing balcony.

2. Modern Airbnb in Indre By, Copenhagen
It makes sense that this 1744-square-foot Indre By property sits gracefully around the corner from Copenhagen’s King’s New Square (Kongens Nytorv) — because, heck, it’s a royal palace itself. This spacious and clean apartment sleeps eight visitors comfortably, with three bedrooms and two sizable luxury marble bathrooms. It is ideal for families or small groups looking for exemplary service on par with hotels — it’s professionally managed, has five-star linens and towels, and expansive views of downtown are found on the building’s rooftop terrace. Plus, guests vouch that even though it’s in the heart of the action, the apartment’s location four stories up is an optimal insulator from the city’s sleepless nightlife.
Eight guests, three bedrooms
Price: $456 per night
3. Large Airbnb in Copenhagen’s City Center
This centrally located loft apartment comfortably sleeps ten guests in five separate bedrooms. The living area has a copious amount of space for communal meals and recharging post-city escapades. Its location near the King’s Garden and Rosenborg Castle is a plus for culture connoisseurs. And just steps from Copenhagen’s vibrant restaurants, bars, and nightlife, the apartment could be ideal for a bachelorette party or reunion. The commodious bathrooms even include a make-up space with a large mirror and great natural light — optimal for prepping before a big night on the town. And aligning with Denmark’s sustainability mindset, the apartment runs on renewable energy and minimizes single-use plastics.
Ten guests, five bedrooms
Price: $450 per night
4. Spacious loft Airbnb in Vesterbro
Fifteen years ago, Vesterbro, now often compared to Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, was a seedy neighborhood you’d avoid after dusk. Today, partly due to gentrification, it’s one of the most desirable areas to live in, and off all Copenhagen Airbnbs, this one oozes atmosphere with just the right amount of history. And this light and spacious loft, refurbished in 2014, is a prime refuge in the center of Vesterbro’s unique energy. It has three fully stocked bedrooms (we’re talking towels, shampoo, hairdryer), making it convenient to rent with friends. Guests applaud the spacious and modern design, the proximity to cafes, and even the 94 steps up to the apartment — because, hey, it’s part of that healthy Danish experience.
Six guests, three bedrooms

Guests enjoy the dual open-plan kitchen, the workspace area, and the exceptionally hyggeligt (cozy) bedroom.

8. Nordic loft Airbnb in Christianshavn
While the fashionable Christianshavn neighborhood sits just over the bridge from the Indre By, it’s saturated with its own unique history, which began in the early 17th century when founded as extensions of Copenhagen’s fortifications. Though many restaurants, bars, and boutique shops line the canal today, that old-world nautical charm persists in the cobblestone streets and colorful buildings.
This renovated and uniquely designed Nordic loft is centrally located in Christianshavn and is described by guests as an efficient and thoughtfully modern treatment of a charming old building. It has two bedrooms (one of which is accessible by ladder), an open kitchen and dining area, a second-floor fireplace, and a large living room with views of the communal garden.

9. Chic Airbnb Plus in Osterbro
Mention “The Lakes,” the string of Copenhagen’s inner-city reservoirs, to a Dane, and you’ll immediately sound more local. Stay near one of the “The Lakes,” and you’ll be centrally located, just minutes from the inner city’s premier shopping, cafes, and dining. And this lakeside property is exceptionally unique—a standalone two-story house a few minutes walk from Copenhagen’s pulsating heart, Nørreport.
Once horse stables, the property has been completely renovated and now includes lavish amenities such as heated bathroom floors and a sleek, freestanding soaking tub. The house epitomizes Scandinavian functionalism, with thoughtful design elements and high-quality furniture throughout. Between its fully stocked kitchen—we’re talking chef’s knives, wine glasses, and Royal Copenhagen plates—and speakers in every room, it is possible (and encouraged!) to stay here with a few friends, cook, and dance the night away. Talk about bringing the party home!
