We track one city in Denmark. Its mid-range shoulder-season day comes to $471, which is 69% above the median across all 68 cities in the index.
Copenhagen is the anchor — quietly radical design and harbour light. Accommodation is 51% of the mid-range day there, so where you sleep decides most of the budget.
Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Denmark the peak-to-low swing runs 103%–103%, widest in Copenhagen (103%, short northern summer pattern: low Jan–Mar, Nov at ×0.71, peak Jun–Aug at ×1.44). Daylight, not temperature, sets demand: a ten-week summer absorbs most annual arrivals, and the dark months discount steeply outside Christmas.
