About Copenhagen

Copenhagen is Denmark's harbour capital, a low-rise city of canals, royal palaces, bicycles, pastries and a pleasure garden in the middle of town.

Copenhagen spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, with harbours and canals shaping the centre. Nyhavn, a seventeenth-century canal lined with coloured houses and old ships, is the classic view. Amalienborg Palace, the royal family's residence, stands on a square near the water, Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels, and Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, mixes flowers, rides and concerts beside the train station.

Top-ranked sights in Copenhagen: Christiansborg Palace (Christiansborg Slot), Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace.
