City guide
Copenhagen
Copenhagen is Denmark's capital, built around canals and a historic harbourfront that runs from Nyhavn's coloured townhouses to the Little Mermaid statue. It is one of the world's most bike-friendly cities, with New Nordic dining, Tivoli Gardens' 19th-century amusement park, and Scandinavian design shops filling the compact centre.
