Created by Volkswagen for the launch of the new Fox car in April 2006, this hotel is a creative and hyper-modern accommodation in the city centre, within walking distance of the Tivoli Gardens. Each room has been created as a design statement by one of the 21 artists commissioned. The hotel commissioned 21 young artists, illustrators, graphic designers and graffiti artists to decorate its 61 rooms, which has given rise to a beautiful atmosphere full of creativity. Thus, the rooms vary in style from the suspense of the 60s to urban culture, passing through Japanese manga. To book, visit www.hotels.com

The magic of moonlight Strangely, one of the best times to visit Tivoli, Denmark's oldest park and gardens, is night. Opened in 1843, the park was the inspiration for Disneyland and every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night in summer at 23:45 there is a magnificent fireworks show.
A trip to Copenhagen wouldn't be complete without stopping to shop for pieces of the city's most famous porcelain. One of the best places to visit is the warehouse of the Royal Copenhagen ship at Amagertorv 6. It's worth remembering that most stores close between 3 and 4pm on Saturdays and usually only open on the first Sunday of each month.
Visit Sweden Cross the Bridge that connects Denmark with Sweden and visit Malmo, a quiet town with some lovely restaurants and shops. The more daring should visit Ribersborgs Kallbadhus – outdoor baths with separate Swedish saunas for men and women. Cool off in a second by diving into the icy Scandinavian Sea.
Explore Copenhagen by bike (free) As bicycles are the preferred means of transport for Danes, most of the city's roads have special bike lanes. For a deposit of just 20 Danish Kroner, visitors can use any of the 2,000 city bikes parked at more than 100 points in the city centre, available from April to December.
