This is Copenhagen
Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, a harbour city on the Øresund, the strait between Denmark and Sweden. It grew from a fishing village into the seat of the Danish kings, and today its canals, its copper spires and its colourful harbour fronts sit in a modern city where bicycles far outnumber cars.
- Nyhavn, the canal of painted houses and old wooden ships
- Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world
- The Little Mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen and the royal guard at Amalienborg
- Bicycles everywhere, smørrebrød and New Nordic cooking
