Interesting Copenhagen Information

Denmark's capital proves how the perfect marriage of avant-garde design and bucolic charm can create one of Europe's most upwardly mobile cities. Perhaps it's the guiding presence of the Little Mermaid's statue on Langeline Harbor that has steered Copenhagen to its remarkable rise to global fame.

Around the city, architecture speaks eloquently about Copenhagen's heritage as a major port city in the Baltic region. Gabled houses stand proud along the canals, both remaining unfazed by the modern times. Real-life fairy tales as well as affairs of the state are forged inside the halls of Christianborg Palace and Rosenborg Castle. World-renowned museums and galleries hold some of the world's most admired art. Beer connoisseurs, on the other hand, make a beeline for the guided tours around Carlsberg Museum and the sampling therafter.

You have to give the Danes a pat on the back for maintaining an eco-friendly vibe that benefits Copenhagen. The daily sight of bike traffic is a sight uncommon in a highly developed city. More notably so, there is a dearth of glass and steel skyscrapers marring the picturesque skyline. Instead, lush green urban spaces and parks such as the Tivoli Gardens serve as venues for celebrating a charmed life within the compact confines of Copenhagen.
