Denmark's most spectacular spas
If you're looking to combine treating yourself with a little Danish culture, come right this way! Denmark's spa traditions lean on hot and cold water therapies, with spa hotels along its beaches, and plenty of saunas to warm you up after an icy-cold plunge. Which will you choose?
Aire Ancient Baths, Copenhagen

It has a heritage-rich ancient baths feeling to it, and offers massages, Himalayan salt therapy and six thermal baths plus a variety of steam rooms and a salt exfoliation area to relax in.
