Before this, we'd never traveled just the two of us-but after talking about it for years, we finally made it happen. As a travel writer, I loved bringing my sister into my world-we flew my favorite airline (I'm a diehard Delta loyalist), experienced the coveted Delta One lounges at LAX and JFK, explored a beautiful city, learned all about Danish culture (particularly the lovely "hygge" mindset), took in the city's famous minimalist fashion, and made some irreplaceable core memories.
The angry rumble of a speeding SUV. The metallic smog of backlogged traffic. The aching heat of sun-dried neighbourhoods baking in an oven of concrete and asphalt. For most people, the mundane threats that plague our environments are likely to annoy more than they spark dread. But for scientists who know just how dangerous our surroundings can be, the burden of knowledge weighs heavy each day.

The interior unfolds in a palette of warm neutrals and natural textures from oak and walnut to brushed metal and softly colored textiles forming a serene backdrop for the furniture and lighting on display.
The team here at Condé Nast Traveler has the privilege of traveling to some of the most faraway, unusual, and esoteric destinations around the world for work-all while checking into beautiful hotels that become so beloved they immediately feel like old friends. (See: CNT's Gold List 2026, hot off the digital press.) For example, have you ever seen the prehistoric rock islets of Palau? Or gazed upon the dark skies hanging above Aotea? (That's in New Zealand.)
Copenhagen continued their unlikely tilt for the knockout stages of the Champions League by beating Villarreal 3-2 at El Madrigal on Wednesday. Villarreal are still winless, just as Copenhagen had been through their first four matches of the league phase before following up a win against Kairat Almaty last time out with this victory. Copenhagen led after just 71 seconds as Mohamed Elyounoussi volleyed in a left-wing cross, and they protected that advantage until half-time.
The centre-left could lose control of Copenhagen for the first time in the city's electoral history as residents of the Danish capital go to the polls amid growing disillusionment with the divisive politics of the prime minister, Mette Frederiksen.
Copenhagen has an impressive résumé when it comes to high-quality living. This year, the Happy City Index ranked Copenhagen as the world's happiest city, based on factors like health, mobility, and environment. Plus, the World Happiness Report named Denmark the second-happiest country in 2025. After spending a week there on a solo trip getting a small taste of the Danish city and talking with locals, I think I understand why.

Petri into a destination defined by biophilic design, Danish craftsmanship, and eco-conscious living.
I'm currently visiting my sister, who moved out here a little over two years agoright around when The Bear sent Marcus the pastry chef (Lionel Boyce) to travel around the city and learn about fancy pastries. After I interviewed Boyce that season, he pointed me to a hole-in-the-wall fried chicken joint called Poulette that he filmed a scene in for the showand it's somehow still a hidden gem in the city.
Rangers crashed out of the Champions League after an embarrassing 6-0 defeat to Club Brugge in the second leg of their play-off qualifier, losing 9-1 on aggregate. Russell Martin's side already had a mountain to climb after a 3-1 loss in the first leg, but Max Aarons' eighth-minute red card ended their hopes of qualifying for the tournament proper. Nicolo Tresoldi ended any early home nerves when he sent a diving header past Jack Butland five minutes in,
At its core, a sculptural 'crack' runs like a fault line across the site, linking the three plazas. This glowing incision becomes the connective tissue that transforms fragmented urban surfaces into a unified public domain.
