Copenhagen

Copenhagen is beautiful and clean, with a city centre criss-crossed by canals and pedestrian-only streets. All of these features contribute to making your stay here pleasant, safe, and largely hassle-free.

The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, is often hailed as one the world’s most livable cities. It is also considered one of the world’s most environmentally friendly cities. In fact, the water in the inner harbour is so clean that you can swim in it, and more than 40 percent of all citizens commute to work by bicycle.

With a population of just below 1.3 million, Copenhagen is a metropolis on the human scale, engineered for pedestrians, pedal power, and urban living. The compact layout of the city centre allows you to do your sightseeing and shopping on foot, and explore the many attractions in the old parts of the city as well as the newly designed districts and spectacular new urban icons.

Home to the Royal Family and seat of the Danish parliament, Folketinget, Copenhagen enjoys a rich and varied cultural life of museums, galleries, theatres, and music.

One of the most livable cities in the world
The claim that Copenhagen is one of the world's most 'livable' cities is not just idle talk. In 2016, Metropolis Magazine proclaimed Copenhagen 'the #1 City to Live In'. To see why, please watch this video from 2014, when the British lifestyle magazine, Monocle, voted Copenhagen as the most liveable city for the third time in their 2014 Quality of Life Survey (we were no. 4 in 2016).
