So, you find yourself in Copenhagen
Take a stroll through the streets of Copenhagen and youll feel instantly transported to a by-gone era; that is until you begin to notice the way the sleek modern architecture has been seamlessly integrated into the low-level skyline. This is a city of contrast and contradiction, mixing the old and the new so elegantly that you sometimes wonder whether youve been thrown back into the past, or flung into the future.
For over six hundred years Copenhagen has been Denmarks political and cultural hub. It offers something for every type of sightseer, from the fashion-conscious folk who strut the sidewalks, to the gawking grannies who take in the rich history from the comfort of the tour bus. Bohemian types gather in the other-worldly Christiania quarter, and all the hot young things hit the clubs in the quaint warehouse district of Nyhavn.
From the long canals to the spacious, open parklands, Copenhagen is the type of city you take in at your own pace. Its never overwhelming, but always awe-inspiring, with stunning design being a central theme, from the thousands of church spires rising high into the sky, right down to the funky fashions on the footpath.
Its no wonder Copenhagen is consistently ranked amongst the top twenty most live-able cities in the world.
