Today, Denmark captures global imagination as the epitome of a civilised society, and punches above its weight on many fronts…… progressive politics, urban planning, sustainability, design, architecture. Recent global crushes, freshly exported from Copenhagen include city cycling culture, the New Nordic culinary movement, and brilliantly addictive TV drama series…… The same passions, enriched with an adult appreciation for Denmark's egalitarianism, its belief that cities belong to people not cars, and its endless quest for hygge…… it helps that everything is easy on the eye…….. the unfairly attractive locals, yes, but also the architecture, the landscapes and the interior design!
Copenhagen is the coolest kid on the Nordic block. Edgier than Stockholm and worldlier than Oslo, the Danish capital gives Scandinavia the X factor. Just ask style bibles Monocle and Wallpaper magazines, which fawn over its industrial-chic bar, design and fashion scenes, and culinary revolution. If you love castles, Denmark has almost as many fairy tale castles as it does fairy tales! Visit the picturesque region of North Zealand just outside Copenhagen where you will see Kronborg Castle!
The oldest section of Copenhagen's inner city is often referred to as Middelalderbyen or the Medieval City….however, the city's most distinctive district is Frederiksstaden, developed during the reign of Frederick V. It has the Amalienborg Palace at its centre and is dominated by the dome of Frederik's Church or the Marble Church and several elegant eighteenth-century Rococo mansions. The inner city of Copenhagen includes Slotsholmen, a little island on which Christiansborg Palace stands and Christianshavn with its canals. Around the historical city centre lies a band of congenial residential boroughs Copenhagen is a green city with many parks, both large and small…….. King's Garden or Kongens Have is rather popular and the garden of Rosenborg Castle, is the oldest and most frequented of them as it is all packed with sunbathers, picnickers and ballplayers……. It serves as a sculpture garden with both a permanent display and temporary exhibits during the summer months….. also located in the city centre are the Botanical Gardens noted for their large complex of the nineteenth-century greenhouses……. The National Museum, the largest museum of archaeology and cultural history and Denmark's National Gallery or Statens Museum for Kunst is the national art museum with collections dating from the twelfth-century to the present…… in addition to Danish painters and contemporary renowned artists represented in the collections…..a historical green space in the north-eastern part of the city is Kastellet, a well-preserved Renaissance citadel that now serves mainly as a park. Another popular park is the Frederiksberg Garden, a thirty-two-hectare romantic landscape park. It houses a colony of tame grey herons and other waterfowl. The park offers views of the elephants and the elephant house designed by world-famous British architect Norman Foster of the adjacent Copenhagen Zoo, the largest zoo in Denmark! contact online with instant confirmation - Europe holiday packages.
