Copenhagen (and all of Denmark) is waiting for you
Scandinavian Airlines Y VisitDenmark have come together to offer us 24 days of joy - Y hygge - to travelers from all over the world.
Need to get into the Christmas spirit? You just have to enter #FindingHyppe , a lottery that will be active until Christmas Eve. Designed like those advent calendars that we like so much, the web presents 24 little doors that are opening day by day to discover a sweet surprise. But instead of chocolate, you will find multiple prizes: free flights, dinners in Michelin star restaurants and adventures for the whole family.
We do not guarantee the reindeer but we do guarantee the Danish HYGGE
The concept, spearheaded by Scandinavian Airlines and Visit Denmark , tries to encourage world travelers in the Danish tradition of _ Hygge _ , or “a quality that brings together everything that is comfortable and welcoming and that arouses a feeling of joy and well-being”. In other words, Hygge encourages finding happiness by spending time with those you love (considering Denmark is home to the happiest people in the world, we'll say they're doing fine).
Whether you are looking for a trip for you and your family or if you are waiting for a last minute gift, This is the contest you can't (and don't want to) miss.
Denmark, are you ready?
To participate, simply visit the website #FidingHigge , click on the door of the current date and enter your e-mail. You'll want to do it fast: the giveaways only last 24 hours each day, and the prizes are spectacular. Not only do they arrive accompanied by at least two round-trip flights to Denmark and three nights' accommodation ... but also, among the gifts there are experiences of those that cannot be paid with money.
you can win one private tasting in the underground cellars of the Carslberg brewery, with a stay in the Royal Suite of the newly renovated Copenhagen Marriott Hotel . Or have your whole family stay in the new Legoland Hotel with a tour of the original Legoland Billund Resort.
There are so many options and so many opportunities for foodies : in a few months you may find yourself dining at Henne Kirkeby Kro , the award-winning restaurant two Michelin stars from the Danish west coast; or enjoy a private food tour with the hotel's concierge Nimb Hotel .
The two Michelin stars is also part of this peculiar advent calendar
The ultimate goal of all these awards is help people spend time in the company of their loved ones : “Because we value our time more than ever, all of these #FindingHygge gifts strive to make people couples, families and friends have the opportunity in 2018 to relax and enjoy the Danish experience together”, as indicated in the official press release of the competition.
