About Copenhagen
As the capital of Denmark and the main tourist destination in Scandinavia, Copenhagen combines the impressive history of the Danish Empire with a vibrant cosmopolitan city life. If you look for entertainment, culture or history, you will definitely find it in charming and picturesque Copenhagen. Upon staying in this organized and confident city that since centuries has been a haven for artists, you will quickly understand why the Danish are so proud of their capital.
The city is located on the island of Zealand (Sjælland), east of the mainland and clinched between Denmark and Sweden. Via the longest bridge in Europe, Copenhagen is connected to the Swedish city of Malmö. With its many beautiful canals and direct connection to both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, Copenhagen has a long-lasting tradition with water going back to the times when the Vikings departed from here to conquer other parts of Europe.
The city of Copenhagen has numerous interesting attractions and sights to visit. With Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid as its main trademark, the city offers a variety of museums, historical buildings and entertainment to its visitors. So what should you not miss out upon visiting Copenhagen?
For sure the National Museum (Nationalmuseet), providing a comprehensive insight in the 1000 years of Danish history and culture. From the thriving glory days of the Vikings to the oldest monarchy in Europe that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the country’s history is definitely worth some attention! The Christianshavn district is known for its charming canals and a canal cruise is a definite recommendation. Furthermore, we suggest the governmental buildings and the Christiansborg at Slotsholmen, an island in the heart of the city and the Rosenborg Slot museum.
For daytime entertainment, the 150 year old Tivoli entertainment park is a great place to visit. Located in the centre of Copenhagen, Tivoli has a magnetic attraction on young people and besides the fun-park attractions, Tivoli hosts many events and shows throughout the year. Close to Tivoli, the Strøget is the world’s longest pedestrian shopping mall. With its many cafés, eateries, theatres, shops and entertainment, you easily can spend a whole day here. The charming Latin Quarter, where the Copenhagen University is located, is the place where you will find cosy bars and restaurants. The student-like ambience makes it a favorable place among the citizens of Copenhagen and tourists.
The Kastrup International Airport is located southeast of the city centre. Many visitors that come to Copenhagen, though, come by rail or road (bus). The city has direct train connections to Sweden as well as major cities in Europe. As the historical centre of Copenhagen is fairly compact, you can do most exploring by foot or using public transportation. But make sure you include a canal boat trip in your program as Copenhagen reveals itself best when seen from the water!
