COPENHAGEN
Postcode: 2300
Area Code: +45
Copenhagen is a vibrant, modern city whose fascinating past
coexists with the very latest trends in architecture, design and fashion.
With a rich history that is evident in its historical buildings and
ancient streets, dozens of world class museums and galleries, the uniquely
enchanting Tivoli Gardens and a resident monarchy that is the oldest in
the world, the Danish capital has a host of attractions to suit all
tastes.
For those looking to live a little, the Carlsberg Brewery Museum, Museum
of Erotica and the Tobacco Museum round out the city's trinity of sin.
Copenhagen's architectural richness is one of the first things that
strikes new visitors to the city. It is a royal city, home of the world's
oldest monarchy since King Erik VII set up permanent residence in 1417.
From 17th century Dutch-style town houses that line the quay at Nyhavn to
the dynamic, modern extensions to venerable old buildings such as the
Royal Library, Copenhagen's buildings will dazzle and charm you.
Whether your taste is for cozy bars and cafes, or live music and cutting
edge clubs, Copenhagen has a place to suit your taste. The night life is
rich and varied and very welcoming. Copenhagen's jazz scene has an
enviable international reputation and the city plays host to a jazz fest
every summer.
