Copenhagen

Copenhagen is the capital and the largest city of Denmark- the city is not only one of the most beautiful in the North of Europe but also one of the oldest. The Danish monarchy itself is one of the oldest in the world and Queen Margrethe II resides in the centre of the city.

There are plenty of sights for tourists to discover and explore and Copenhagen offers something for everyone’s taste. Many of the sights can be found located in the centre of the city such as the Gefion Fountain, this is the biggest monument in Copenhagen and definitely worth a look. Another one of the most famous statues located in Denmark is “The Little Mermaid”

Tivoli Amusement park and Gardens is well worth a visit- The park has twenty five rides, including one of the world's oldest wooden roller coasters and the world's tallest Carousel, which stands 80 metres high. The gardens are blooming with hundreds of different colours and varieties of flowers and look simply stunning in the summer.

Copenhagen is also home to the Royal Theatre and the modern Opera House where you can catch up on what is happening in the world of classical music and drama. Book tickets for a performance of “the Brothers Lionheart”or “La Traviata” and enjoy an exquisite night at the opera.

The best time to visit Copenhagen is in the summer when the nights stay lighter for longer and the city always looks its best in the summer sunshine. The Royal Castle Amalienborg is an impressive building with its domed structure in the centre and of course the Royal Guard make for an excellent photo opportunity.

On a sunny day take a trip to the Nyhavn (New Harbour) and visit one of the many cafes situated there. Relax for an hour, enjoy a coffee or a beer and watch the world go by.

The Carlsberg Brewery is also a favourite with the tourists. The guides offer a very interesting presentation and tour of the brewery while the scent of hops and yeast wafts up your nostrils! One of the rooms is filled with a bottle of every type of beer the brewery has ever made. Don’t forget to sample one or two of the beers before you leave Denmark.

Since the construction of the Öresund Bridge in 2000, this now provides a trans-national link by road and rail to Sweden. The bridge begins in the city centre of Copenhagen and ends in the city of Malmö, Sweden. So, whilst visiting Denmark why not make use of this excellent opportunity, hire a car and make your way over to Sweden for a day or two!
