umbrella.
Visiting Copenhagen
Copenhagen is at the cross-roads between
continental Europe and Scandinavia
and the Baltic area. The sea and
waterfront dominates the city that has
kept an old-world charm. The city’s old
streets and architecture blends in with
modern design symbolising its rapid
growth. The modest size of the city is
a great advantage for visitors. The best
sights are within the centre which has a
bustling pedestrian shopping area
called “Strøget”. Most roads have a
bike lane, and compared with other
European cities the traffic is not too
bad. Visitors may enjoy a leisurely stroll
in a relaxed and safe environment – or
a bicycle ride using the ubiquitous “free
of charge” city bikes.
