Description
Copenhagen
Denmark is
one of the most interesting cities in
Europe. View this virtual tour of
Denmark.
In
many ways it reminds one of a
fairy tale city with its
Tivoli Gardens, its royal castle, and as the birth place of Hans
Christian Andersen. It has the oldest surviving monarchy in Europe with
King Fredrik and Queen Ingrid. Denmark is the Lego capital of the world
and you can see them exhibited in
the Tivoli gardens .
Modern
Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia but nevertheless retains
a disarmingly provincial, small-town atmosphere that is instantly
appealing. Gabled houses, narrow streets and a skyline that is
dominated by delicate spires rather than hulking skyscrapers are all
typical of the city. Copenhagen is also, arguably, the greenest capital
in Europe – much of the centre is reserved for pedestrians, strict
anti-pollution laws are enforced and bikes often outnumber cars on the
streets. The citizens of Copenhagen seem justifiably proud of their
attractive, well-kept city and enjoy a quality of life that they are
keen to share with visitors from other countries.
Frederiksborg Castle
Copenhagen
boasts theatres, museums and a lively, surprisingly
cutting-edge nightlife scene. Danish cinema is increasingly making its
mark on the international film circuit and Danish furniture, technology
and jewellery remain at the forefront of contemporary design. The best
the country has to offer can be experienced in the capital city, where
design studios rub shoulders with ultra-hip bars and modern
architecture boldly occupies the space between 17th-century buildings,
military installations and the sea. A road bridge to Sweden, completed
in 2000, is helping to make Copenhagen a key focal point for
Scandinavia, the Baltic and the rest of mainland Europe.
The climate in Copenhagen is a temperate maritime one and generally
quite changeable. Winters are cold and cloudy but summers are warm and
sunny. Snowfalls are common between January and March and the wettest
season is over the autumnal months of August and October.
The
people of Copenhagen have a very laissez-faire
attitude
about life and are considered one of the most liberal socities in
Europe. The transportation
system reflect the childlike quality of the city with decorated buses
and
trains. Hotels are reasonable and during the summer and early fall,
despite
the hustle and bustle of the city, you can enjoy a serene view of the
ocean
while sipping coffee at the many cafes that border the sea coast.
Recently
Denmark was connected to Southern Sweden by a new bridge. Now rather
than
taking a ferry, you can complete your trip by driving to Sweden
over the
Oresund Bridge .
