Copenhagen Travel Guide - Denmark Unique Experience

Copenhagen (Danish: København) is the capital of Denmark and what a million Danes call home. Copenhagen is big enough to be a metropolis with shopping, culture and nightlife par excellence, yet still small enough to be intimate, safe and easy to navigate. Overlooking the Øresund strait with Sweden just minutes away, it is a cultural and geographic link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia. This is where old fairy tales blend with flashy new architecture and world-class design; where warm jazz mixes with cold electronica from Copenhagen's basements. You'll feel you've seen it all in a day, but could keep on discovering more for months.

If entering the city using the highways, you won't meet a city limit sign saying "København" (Copenhagen). Instead you'll see "Storkøbenhavn", which means Greater Copenhagen. While the original part of Copenhagen is located in a small area by the waterway between Zealand and Amager. Today these are distinctive municipalities, together making up the city's metropolitan area with around 2 million inhabitants. A notable exception is Frederiksberg, an independent municipality with its own mayor and municipal council, located inside Copenhagen. The other boroughs in and around Copenhagen are as follows:


Indre By ("Inner City")
Downtown, The Medieval city - a place of many names, but it is the historical heart of Copenhagen, dotted with church spires, historic buildings, narrow alleys and excellent shopping venues.

Christianshavn ("Christian's Harbour")
Originally laid out as a working class neighbourhood 300 years ago, it is now a thriving area notable for its many canals. The Freetown of Christiania is situated in the eastern section of Christianshavn, along with the old naval area, turned trendy: Holmen.

Vesterbro ("Western Bridge")
This district has evolved tremendously in recent years and is now one of the hippest places to live, with cafes and bars dotted along its main artery, Istedgade.

Frederiksberg
A small town which originally formed around Frederiksberg castle, this area is still a independent municipality. Literally surrounded by the City of Copenhagen, it has preserved a unique, conservative, upscale feel.

Nørrebro ("Northern Bridge")
One of the most vibrant parts of Copenhagen, especially along the main artery, Nørrebrogade, with a mix of immigrants, students, and original, working-class Nørrebro inhabitants.

Østerbro ("Eastern Bridge")
A cosy neighbourhood north of the centre - less vibrant than Nørrebro and Vesterbro, and less unusual than Frederiksberg. It is the home of the famous Little Mermaid statue, the beautifully preserved Kastellet citadel, and numerous piers for small ferries and large cruise ships. The area west of the train track has

Amager
Once a bastion of the working class, this island, with its own distinct atmosphere, is booming with new development. It is the home of Copenhagen's airport, located in the town of Kastrup and thus named Kastrup Airport.

Northern suburbs
A visit to these green suburbs and Dyrehavsbakken, — the world's oldest running amusement park; Frilandsmuseet — the world's largest open air museum; or canoeing down the Mill River, will leave no doubt that this is an altogether different kind of suburbia. It is often colloquially known to locals as the "whisky belt", due to its often well-heeled residents.

Vestegnen
The suburbs west and south of the city, short on attractions apart from the good Arken art museum, it has some good beaches and camping opportunities.
