Why Copenhagen?
Copenhagen, the city of canals and bicycles
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, traces its history back to a small fishing village established in the 10th century by the Vikings. Over the centuries, it transformed into a vibrant port city, known for its colorful harbor, charming canals, and commitment to sustainable living. The city’s love for bicycles is legendary, with more bikes than cars on its streets, and its blend of historic charm and modern design makes it a unique European destination.
Walking through Copenhagen, you can feel the city’s rich history and contemporary spirit side by side. Beyond the iconic Nyhavn with its brightly-painted townhouses, you’ll find world-class museums, cozy cafes serving Danish pastries, and green spaces perfect for relaxing. From the fairy-tale charm of Tivoli Gardens to the innovative architecture along the waterfront, Copenhagen invites you to slow down, explore its canals, and experience the hygge that defines Danish culture.
