Copenhagen is the modern and charming metropolis that never forgot its history. It's a captivating, friendly city where your senses can roam and where there's always something wonderful around the next corner. A round trip of the inner city is easily managed on foot and its old, cobbled streets provide an evocative backdrop to a thriving cultural scene, with its art galleries, museums, music and theatres. Europe’s longest city pedestrian street, Strøget, winds its way through the inner city, with its shops full of world-class Danish design, fashions and much more.

And then there are the royal castles, the parks, the squares and the plazas. Not to mention our precious pearl, Nyhavn, the New Harbor. The actual founding of the city, though, dates to 1167 A.D., when Bishop Absalon built a fortress on Slotsholmen. At the Tycho Brahe Planetarium, you can experience breathtaking natural phenomena. A fairy-tale universe unfolds for you at Tivoli Gardens, where amusements, concert performances, and a profusion of flowers await.

City districts and parks
On the city squares and along the charming canals the cafés and restaurants are blooming. The city districts of Nørrebro, Vesterbro and Østerbro encircle the inner city, and spark off the very latest trends.
The people of Copenhagen like to spend their lunch-hours in the open. Near Rosenborg Castle in The King’s Garden, for example, is a favourite place for new mums to stroll with their prams along the narrow paths. Theatre for adults and children alike is enjoyed with a picnic hamper and blanket brought from home, while young things, midriffs bared to the sun, play Frisbee on the grass.
