Copenhagen Vacation & Tourism Guide
photo by Diane and Fran
Copenhagen is a city with much charm, as reflected in its canals, narrow streets, and charming houses that have stood for hundreds of years. Bicycles spin alongside automobile traffic, and in the early morning in the pedestrian streets of the city the air is filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread and newly scrubbed storefronts. It is a city with museums, cultural attractions, a lively nightlife, cafes, restaurants, and entertainment of the highest caliber. Copenhagen is among the finest of European capitals and a fantastic tourist destination of every traveler.
