Copenhagen
€
Copenhagen is the city of the Little Mermaid, Tivoli and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. But the city has much more to offer. The cosy historic centre, shops and places of entertainment, the typical coloured houses in the harbour and the many street artists ensure that this is an ideal travel destination...
Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and what a million Danes call home. This "friendly old girl of a town" is big enough to be a metropolis with shopping, culture and nightlife par excellence, yet still small enough to be intimate, safe and easy to navigate. Overlooking the Øresund strait with Sweden just minutes away, it is a cultural and geographic link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia. This is where old fairy tales blend with flashy new architecture and world-class design; where warm jazz mixes with cold electronica from Copenhagen's basements. You'll feel you've seen it all in a day, but could keep on discovering more for months.
