Copenhagen, Denmark - Rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ by travelers

Capital of 🇩🇰 Denmark with a population of around 790 thousand people.

Copenhagen is a city on the rise. Once a sleepy town of merchants and fishermen, it is now a world-class city with a vibrant arts and nightlife scene. The city is surrounded by water, with the sleek new buildings of the downtown district contrasting with the old world charm of the Nyhavn waterfront. There’s something for everyone in Copenhagen, from the Tivoli amusement park to the Rosenborg Castle gardens. History buffs will enjoy the Rosenborg Slot and the National Museum, while art lovers can explore the many galleries and museums of the city. And when the sun goes down, the party starts in the trendy bars and clubs of Vesterbro and Nørrebro.

What people say about Copenhagen

As a swede there is a little hard to admit but Copenhagen might actually be the capital of Scandinavia❤️

If you ask 100 Scandinavians what their favorite capital in Scandinavia is, I would be shocked if not at least 80 of them said Copenhagen. Copenhagen is nice, relaxed, and friendly, yet sophisticated and exciting. And simply well-designed. The city has lots of really interesting architecture, both old and new. The Danes are great at combining them both in the same neighborhood. There is even beauty in the infrastructure such as bridges across the water or just how the city is planned. There are rough and bohemian parts, there are fancy parts, there are picturesque touristy parts like Nyhavn, most of the city feels relaxed and welcoming to everyone, and all of it is easy to explore on foot or using the locals' favorite mode of transport, the bicycle. I come here, again and again, to go to concerts, drink beer in dive bars, stay at swanky hotels, wander around town, grab a delicious hot dog at one of the many sausage carts, and simply enjoy being here. The spring, summer, and fall are the best as we are still in the very north of Europe, and it gets cold. Damn it, I will say it. Even the Danes are pretty great :)

If you don't mind feeling inferior in taste, education and appearance to everyone around you, then Copenhagen is the place to go. It is stunningly beautiful, but the weather is often so bad that you don't really have time to notice. Even then, there is always a gorgeous library nearby with lovely view and sometimes coffee.
