Copenhagen is the capital of design and quality of life. The colourful canals of Nyhavn, Tivoli Gardens, New Nordic cuisine and cycling culture create a unique atmosphere where the Danish concept of hygge comes alive.
Copenhagen is compact and bikeable. By bicycle you can go from the Little Mermaid to Amalienborg Palace, from Christiania to Michelin-starred restaurants. It has the most Michelin stars per capita in the world.
