Many are surprised to learn that Denmark is comprised of a main peninsula, Jutland, and 406 separate islands. Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, is situated on the island of Sjælland (Sealand), just across the Øresund Strait from Malmö in Sweden. The Øresund Bridge was opened in 2000 and now physically connects the two countries, though Denmark maintains a strong independent identity having rejected the Euro and never really been assimilated fully into Europe. Copenhagen began life as a merchant harbour, growing in size and importance over the centuries, thanks largely to its significant position between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Today Copenhagen’s medieval streets and winding canals reveal 1000 years of history alongside cutting edge architecture in a country renowned for its design conscious society.
Copenhagen may be the largest city in Denmark and one of Europe’s eminent capitals but it shares many of it characteristics with those of a village making it seem especially welcoming. The city’s most famous shopping street Strøget is also the longest and oldest pedestrianised street in Europe. Shopping in Copenhagen is a pleasure with traditional craftsmen and contemporary designers making their own impact on the capital’s many shops and markets. Copenhagen has a firm appreciation for its past and is also a world leader in engineering and design, consequently attractions in the city range from historic statues, grand palaces and medieval townhouses to modern art galleries and exhibition spaces. The magic of Tivoli Gardens captures the imagination of every visitor to the city. Travellers can take their pick from hotels built in the 18th or 21st century and can dine on traditional Danish or modern fusion cuisine in Copenhagen’s vast selection of restaurants. Nightlife in the city is frequently low key but always intriguing thanks to underground jazz clubs and eclectic venues.
Copenhagen is an ideal destination for a weekend city break or a much longer stay thanks to its surrounding attractions. This is one of Northern Europe’s most beautiful cities, a metropolitan capital, built around medieval streets. Copenhagen presents a myriad of historic and modern attractions against a waterside backdrop and a harbour clean enough the bathe in.
