Copenhagen

Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark, is an eclectic metropolis where colourful traditional homes, winding canals, cobblestone streets and ultra-modern buildings co-exist harmoniously. Copenhagen is clean, safe and easy to get around. Another plus, most people speak English.

With its rich history, ancient streets and dazzling museums & galleries, Copenhagen has much to offer the international visitor. Some of the most popular sights are Amalienborg Palace in the city centre, the enchanting Tivoli Gardens and Kronborg Castle - known from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Situated on a rock at Copenhagen's waterfront, the statue of The Little Mermaid is one of the most photographed sights in Copenhagen. Based on the classic fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson, the statue is a national landmark and synonymous with the city of Copenhagen.

The Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, 40mins from Copenhagen at Hillerød, houses some of the country's most important portraits and historic paintings. The palace is located on 3 small islands in the middle of Palace Lake, and adjoined by a large, baroque garden.
