about Copenhagen
The Danish capital is situated in the north east of the Zealand Island. The city lies on two islands, which are connected by drawbridges. Copenhagen is a low-rise city, which charming timbered houses, castles and old buildings remind of the capital's long history. However, Copenhagen is a modern city as well. Its cosmopolitan flair, sleek shops and fashionable cafes have earned it the nickname - the Paris of the North. Copenhagen pulsates with life. Its long pedestrian Stroget is packed with shopping, dining and theatre venues, while the Tivoli Park is a more relaxed place, perfect for long walks. The vibrant Latin Quarter is the place where you must take at least a coffee. For the more energetic, we recommend a cruise through the canals of Christianshavn, where you can spot the Little Mermaid's statue.
