COPENHAGEN – THE GREAT CITY

The canals, bike culture, robust economy, and joyful residents of Copenhagen make it a really distinctive place. It’s a capital with a small-city vibe.
 Shaped by both history and innovation, Copenhagen always offers something new and inspiring to discover — street markets, museums, restaurants, festivals, and more – but the city is compact and its pace is surprisingly laid-back.

Aside from being the world’s happiest city, Copenhagen boasts superb Danish food, a world-class transportation system, breathtaking churches, spectacular harbour views, and even a hippie commune that draws visitors from all over the world. Denmark’s core institutions, such as the Danish Parliament, the Royal Family, the Supreme Court, and the Central Administration, are all located in Copenhagen. The city serves as the country’s cultural and economic centre, as well as a major transportation hub, with the largest airport in the Nordic region, Denmark’s largest railway station and one of the country’s largest ports. Take in the city’s attractions and delight in its shops and cuisine during your stay in Copenhagen!
