Copenhagen - city by the sea


The enchanting old city centre is easily navigated on foot. Strøget, the longest pedestrian street in Europe, winds it way through the town, providing a good starting point to explore the cosy atmosphere of the narrow side streets with their cafés and shops.
In 2010, the city was named as Europe's Leading Cruise Destination for the fifth time since 2004. We also have a very high rating as a conference destination city. Exciting galleries, art collections, museums, the performing arts and a world class opera house make the city worth a visit. It was the home of such famous Danes as H.C. Andersen, Søren Kierkegaard (2013 is the bicentennial year of Kierkegaard's birth) and the physicist Niels Bohr.

Another must is an outside visit to the Queen's winter residence, Amalienborg Palace, and finally, a photostop at the Little Mermaid.
