Reasons to visit Copenhagen
The world’s second oldest amusement park
Having first opened its doors in August 1843, Tivoli Gardens is the second oldest operating amusement park in the world. The hugely popular park features a lush pleasure garden, as well as more than 30 fast-paced rides and endless fun for kids of all ages – and adults too, of course.
Whether you’re here to experience all the thrill of the rides or just to make the most of the cafes, shows and other entertainment, the evenings are also a great time to visit. Be sure to take a ride on the ferris wheel for unrivalled views of the city.
The colourful waterfront
When you think of Copenhagen, the iconic image that springs to mind is that of the city’s colourful townhouses and pristine canal. This is the area of Nyhavn, one of the most popular and beautiful parts of the city, and it’s easy to see why.
What was once a commercial port has since been transformed into a vibrant waterfront hotspot, where inviting restaurants line the street, and the sound of soothing jazz music fills the air. Take a walk around, soaking up the infectious atmosphere and capturing postcard-perfect photos of the pastel-coloured houses reflecting in the crystalline water.
The way of life
Denmark’s thriving capital is one of the happiest places on earth, so there’s no doubt that you’ll fall in love with its winning charm and charisma. The city is one of the most liveable places in the world, partly thanks to its shorter work days, free education, generous annual leave and positive sustainability efforts.
It’ll therefore come as no surprise to you when you experience the unfaltering friendliness of the locals. Manners mean everything to the people of Denmark, so you’ll be hard pushed to find anyone more polite than those who you’ll encounter following your flight to Copenhagen.
