Copenhagen

Often ranked among the best cities to live in, Copenhagen is a Nordic haven where the concept of 'hygge', embracing cosiness and contentment, permeates every corner. Copenhagen's charm lies in its ability to foster both the cutting-edge and the timeless, offering a multifaceted experience that appeals to the modern adventurer and history enthusiast alike. Jump on a bike and wander through its charming neighbourhoods, discover innovative architecture, savour world-class cuisine, and recharge your batteries in one of its many green spaces.

The City Sustainable City

The City

Copenhagen is an ancient city, full of beautiful historic buildings and many points of interest. The ramparts and walls surrounding the city centre were demolished around the middle of the nineteenth century. This allowed Copenhagen to assume the peculiar architectural structure characterised by narrow stone streets that lead directly to the city centre and which are the background to numerous shops and bars. In recent years, Copenhagen's historic architectural heritage has been enriched with modern and contemporary buildings. An example of these are those designed by the Danish and French architects Bjarke Ingels and Jean Nouvel, who gave a new touch to the old-fashioned style of the city. Copenhagen is also known for its relaxing atmosphere. Denmark’s capital effortlessly captures the essence of ‘hygge’, a Danish term that encapsulates a sense of cosiness, comfort, and contentment. The city's charming streets, picturesque canals, and stylish yet welcoming spaces contribute to the overall hygge atmosphere. Locals and visitors alike savour moments of relaxation in cosy cafés, enjoy leisurely walks through parks, and appreciate the warm, convivial ambience of Copenhagen's many restaurants and bars.

Sustainable City

Copenhagen is often mentioned as one of the most environmentally conscious cities in Europe, if not the entire world. The Danish capital hopes to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 and has already taken a number of steps toward this ambitious goal. A notable stride in this direction involves the rapid transition of buses from diesel to electric power, delivering not only a positive impact on air quality but also a reduction in noise pollution. In addition, the city is prioritising the development of dedicated biking lanes to encourage sustainable transportation — subsidised prices for electric bikes are making the switch from cars even more attractive. Copenhagen maintains a commitment to sustainability, with approximately two-thirds of its hotels being eco-certified. These certifications ensure the adoption of best practices in sustainable energy, food, and design. Additionally, the city's dining scene aligns with eco-friendly principles, with many restaurants offering organic food options to conscientious consumers.
