Copenhagen, or
Købnhavn, as the Danish call it, is not just the capital of Denmark, but also the largest
city in the country. Located on the islands of Zealand and Amager, the city is an
industrial centre, and a hub for both trade and transport. However, despite its importance
as an industrial city, Copenhagen is far from intimidating - there are no skyscrapers, no
ugly factories belching smoke, none of the frenzied bustle youre likely to find in a
lot of other cities. This is a city of parks, gardens, fountains, old streets, medieval
buildings, quiet squares - and the worlds longest pedestrian mall.
But that isnt all. Copenhagen also offers a lively entertainment
scene, with perhaps the most vibrant nightlife in all of Scandinavia. Its a
delightfully cosmopolitan city, conveniently located with extremely warm and hospitable
people.
