Luxury holidays in Køge

Half an hour from Copenhagen and patrolling Denmark’s eastern coastline, Køge is a quaint town with all the hallmarks for a soothing Nordic sojourn. Its well-preserved centre and wonderfully wonky streets are lined with characterful cafés and pastel-painted homes. On the periphery, its namesake bay welcomes hiking, biking, wild swimming and enough cold plunging to have you deemed an honorary Dane.

When to go

Outdoor pursuits are at their peak during July and August; but for snow-coated scenery and smaller crowds, December is best.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Copenhagen’s international airport is a little over 40 minutes away from Køge by car.

  • Trains

    There are direct trains to Køge Street from the capital’s central station — København H — which drop you right in the middle of town.

  • Automobiles

    With plenty to explore beyond town and miles of bay-embraced coast to roam, a set of wheels will be worth bringing to this quieter corner of Denmark.
