How to get around

The transport traditions of Copenhagen go back a long way, starting with the sea-trading of the Viking era. At the time of Hans Christian Andersen, Copenhageners began to travel by train, and the Copenhagen-built plane used by Ellehammer was the first in Europe to be airborne.

Today, the transport infrastructure of Copenhagen is among the most efficient and reliable in the world, and it is still being developed and improved. You can obtain more information at www.movia.dk

Sights and attractions

With its rich history full of historical buildings and ancient streets, its outstanding 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.

But this is no living museum. Copenhagen is a vibrant, modern city whose fascinating past coexists with the very latest trends in architecture, design and fashion. This is, after all, one of the world's great design capitals, a status that is reflected in its dynamic new buildings and stunning shops.

Tours in Copenhagen

You will soon discover that one of the great joys of Copenhagen is its compact size, which means that most of its main sights and attractions can be seen on foot.

The sheer density of attractions within the city means that organised tours are often a good way to make the most of a short visit and there are plenty of walking, boat, bicycle and bus tours to choose from.

Furthermore, outside the city dozens of other sights and attractions await you.

And, of course, do not forget to pay a visit to Copenhagen's most famous daughter, the Little Mermaid who lives just a short walk from the city centre by the sea at Langelinie.
