A rich culture and history
Copenhagen is steeped in history and culture. Its cobblestone streets, palaces, and historic artifacts provide a backdrop for modern life. Biking around allows you to easily reach the city’s beautiful Botanical Garden, get up close to impressive historic architecture, and wave to the city’s famous statues as you pass by. Additionally, a boat ride through Copenhagen’s charming canals can take you past cultural highlights like the colorful Nyhavn, the houseboats of Christianshavn, and plenty of friendly locals along the waterfront.
World class gastronomy
Street food, bistros, or Michelin-starred restaurants? You’ll find it all in Copenhagen, whether you crave traditional Danish smørrebrød or international flavors. Don’t miss the opportunity for an impromptu visit to one of the city’s local restaurants, tucked away in basements, courtyards, and even on boats in the city’s canals. The gastronomic offerings span the globe, featuring exquisite meals crafted with local, seasonal ingredients—a culinary philosophy pioneered by Noma and the New Nordic cuisine movement.
