“In brief, hygge is about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about – or even by yourself – to relax and enjoy life’s quieter pleasures.”

Denmark.dk (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark)

“Typically, the setting is at home or another quiet location, or perhaps a picnic during the summer months.

It usually involves sharing a meal and wine or beer, or hot chocolate and a bowl of candy if children are included.

There is no agenda.

You celebrate the small joys of life, or maybe discuss deeper topics. It is an opportunity to unwind and take things slow.”

Denmark.dk (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark)

According to the World Happiness Report 2023 Denmark is the 2nd happiest country in the world.
