Copenhagen, Denmark
For a chic city break bursting with life, look no further than the Danish capital, guaranteed to please all the senses with its sights, music and excellent cuisine.
Copenhagen has become a popular tourist draw with attractions for all ages, most within walking distance of the city centre. Numerous festivals each year ensure the city is always buzzing, including the Copenhagen Cooking & Food Festival. Every August the entire city showcases its finest dining experiences. But you don’t need to be a festivalgoer to enjoy a holiday here, as there’s something to suit all tastes.
Spread over two islands, Copenhagen has five miles of beaches. Alternatively, the harbour front has several public baths, popular in summer for cooling off after hours of shopping or sightseeing.
Enjoy strolling the city’s cobbled streets and jumping aboard a boat for a leisurely harbour cruise. Don’t miss The Little Mermaid, the iconic bronze statue
inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, posing on a rock at Langelinie Pier.
Ideas for days out include a trip to the charming 174-year-old Tivoli Gardens amusement park, and Rosenborg Castle and the beautiful King’s Garden.
With a rich history dating from 1043, Copenhagen is packed with sites of interest, including the Amalienborg Palace – home to the royal family – which has its own ‘changing of the guard’.
