Copenhagen, the premier capital of Northern Europe, is Scandinavia's
most fantastic city and the centre of the most dynamic
region in Europe, the Øresund Region.
The city is one of Europe's oldest
capitals with a royal touch - the monarchy in Denmark is the oldest in the world!
A slogan for new houses “There's something modern in the state of Denmark”, a paraphrase on the well-known Shakespearian quote from Hamlet, somehow encapsulates the spirit of the youthful dynamism present in Copenhagen. Discover it, mirrored in the walls of Black Diamond, but pay also attention to all those historical architectural pearls such as the Royal Castle Amalienborg, and our special favorite the - Church of Our Saviour.
Visit Louisiana, Arken and - Glyptotek - all among the best art museums in Europe; take a walk towards the Gefion Fountain, Copenhagen's own Fontana di Trevi, and see how the Little Mermaid is doing...!
Or why not visit Tivoli, the amusement park with class, in the middle of the city.
There is more: have a Carlsberg beer (the best, obviously) in one of many beer cafés by the canal in Nyhavn, or visit the Carlsberg Brewery, to learn about the origins of the world famous Danish beer.
These are truly exciting, cool and very enjoyable places to visit.
Two Nation Vacation
Would it be not enough, take a short ride and check how other Scandinavians are doing: With the Öresund Bridge, the motorway and railway link, it takes only 30 minutes by train from Copenhagen City Centre to the centre of Malmö, Sweden.
Naturally, you must seize such a great opportunity to see more of Scandinavia!
