For
your next holiday, visit Copenhagen, Denmark - a jewel within the Nordic
region by Martin McAllister
Copenhagen, the capital
city of Denmark, holds a wealth of magnificent attractions and exudes an
undeniably captivating charm; in fact, Copenhagen was recently ranked as
one of the world's best cities to live in. But what is it that makes this
city so amazing? There’s really only one way to find out – that is by paying
a visit to Copenhagen yourself!
There is a great deal to
see in Copenhagen, and there are a variety of ways in which to experience
it all. You might like to take a guided bus or walking tour for a comprehensive
excursion; however, it's also a great idea to hire a bike and sightsee
at your own pace. Some of the city's main attractions include the old port
of Nyhavn, Copenhagen City Hall and the Rosenborg Castle. However, if you're
looking to escape towards the city's more serene settings, you could head
to the peaceful Tivoli Gardens or to Bellevue
Beach instead. Another must-see attraction - and undoubtedly one of the
most famous in Copenhagen - is the harbour's Little Mermaid statue, which
is a monument to fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Anderson.
For visitors interested in
the arts, Copenhagen boasts a number of museums, galleries and theatres.
Among the most popular are the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, The Royal Theatre,
the Glyptotek Art Museum and the Frilandsmuseet open-air museum. Copenhagen
is also well known for its music scene - particularly jazz, and the city
even hosts an annual festival - called the Copenhagen Jazz Festival; with
its unparalleled splendour, it attracts countless people.

If you love shopping, you'll
have a field day on Stroget - a pedestrianised shopping street in central
Copenhagen. The street is also known for providing free entertainment -
in the form of music, magic, juggling and more - particularly between the
Nytorv and Hojbro Plads. And for anyone who loves to try different foods,
Copenhagen boasts an impressive array of cuisines - but don't forget to
try traditional favourites such as "smorrebrod" and the renowned freshly
baked danishes!
If you're considering a holiday,
you'll find a number of hotels in Copenhagen city centre, where you can
be close to the city's top attractions. Or, if your trip to Copenhagen
is business-related, you could choose to stay near the airport instead.
You'll also find that most hotels conveniently offer meeting rooms and
conference halls for groups of all sizes. However, rest assured that whatever
your reason for travelling to this wonderful city may be, you're guaranteed
to be taken aback with its culture, beauty and sheer magnificence.

Tivoli
Gardens by Nedko Kolev

- Copenhagen Featured Hotels
- Copenhagen Vacation Rentals
One of Copenhagen's most
famous tourist attractions, the Tivoli Gardens opened in 1843. This highly
popular entertainment park combines all the fun of fairground rides with
fountains and fireworks, concerts and ballets, top-quality restaurants
and fast-food outlets. Based on the 18th-century ornamental gardens popular
in Europe at the time, Tivoli features Chinese-style pagodas and Moorish
pavilions, as well as the Hanging Gardens and the Bubble Fountain.
Among the many fairground
rides are a traditional roller coaster, a ferris wheel, and a "freefall"
tower, as well as rides designed especially for children. You can also
have fun in the amusement arcades and shooting galleries.
The gardens are at their
most enthralling after dusk, when thousands of tiny lights illuminate the
park. At night, open-air theaters host all forms of entertainment, from
jugglers to jazz bands and performances of Italian Commedia Dell`Arte.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a spectacular fireworks display just
before midnight.
A good time to visit Tivoli
is between late November and Christmas. At this time, the gardens are transformed
into a bustling Christmas fair, where you can sample traditional Danish
seasonal fare, buy many specialty Christmas gifts, and ice-skate on Tivoli
Lake.
