Beautiful, clean, historic, and fun … Copenhagen is a Nordic treasure.
Originally a Viking fishing village established in the 10th century in the vicinity of what is now called Gammel Strand, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century.
A city with historical charm and a contemporary style; an old merchants’ town overlooking the entrance to the Baltic Sea with so many architectural treasures that it’s known as the “City of Beautiful Spires.”
Copenhagen consistently scores top marks in world rankings for its liveability, enterprise, gastronomy and sustainability skills, and is an internationally recognized knowledge hub for key industries.
It is a frequent top-scorer on the UN World Happiness City Index: in short, a very popular place to both live, work and visit.
Saving on heaps of experiences within culture, entertainment, gastronomy, shopping, sports, and more, and steeped in history, this city is both sensible, youthful, effervescent and innovative at once.
Its modern public transportation system features metro lines, extensive bus routes and an easy-to-navigate train network. Visitors may take advantage of buying a Copenhagen Card for free access to public transport as well as to sights and attractions in and around the city.
Copenhagen Airport is also the main air hub in the Nordics, and the city’s metro system is connected to the airport too.
Easy to get around, naturally, Copenhagen is voted the world’s most cyclist-friendly capital. Every day, the locals cycle an astonishing 1.4m km on the city’s 388 km of bike paths and cycle superhighways.
In 2023, Copenhagen was awarded a total of 24 Michelin stars at 14 restaurants at the Michelin Guide Nordic Countries revelation and Copenhagen-based restaurant Geranium holds the position as the best restaurant in the world.
