Once a humble fishing village and now one of the world’s premier design capitals, Copenhagen is Denmark’s largest city and home to roughly 1.7 million people. Situated in the east and separated from neighbouring Sweden by just a few kilometres, Copenhagen presents an array of attractions against a waterfront backdrop.

Renowned for being a major regional centre of culture, business, media and science, Copenhagen also takes pride in its image as a green city. Awareness of green topics such as ecology and sustainability is growing among consumers, retailers and politicians alike. Visitors can experience the city’s many sites by bicycle, water bus, foot or metro; allowing you to shop, dine and explore with a clear conscience.

From majestic castles to bustling shopping streets, Copenhagen offers an enchanting blend of historic and modern impressions. Step into the past as you wander the picturesque streets of Nyhavn – the oldest part of Copenhagen’s harbour. This colourful waterfront area, built by King Christian V in the 1670s, was once home to Hans Christian Andersen and is now a popular entertainment district. Opera enthusiasts will undoubtedly be drawn to Operaen. This national opera is one of the most modern Opera houses in the world.
