Home to one of the oldest monarchies in the world with a history tracing back to the Viking Age. History is everywhere in Copenhagen where cobblestone streets, palaces and royal artefacts make for a beautiful backdrop to the modern life lived by the Copenhageners of today.
The capital of Denmark has got urban living down to a tee; the Danes take quality of life seriously and it really shows. From cosy cafés in the winter to beaches and harbour pools full to the brim in the summer, Copenhagen is something special. Locals travel everywhere by bike, whether it’s to work, school or a night out on the town, so make sure you get onto two wheels whilst you’re out there.
The national language of Copenhagen is Danish but in general, Danes speak English extremely well.
Most people choose to visit Copenhagen between May – August, where the city tends to enjoy mild to warm weather. Wintertime is cold and snowy, which makes for a magical experience.
