Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark. It is situated on the Zealand and Amager Islands and is separated from Malmö, Sweden by the strait of resund. There are numerous hotels in Copenhagen, which will meet all the requirements a tourist or business traveler might have.
The city emerged from a small settlement at the sea in the 12th century. Later on, Copenhagen was chosen to be the residence of Denmark’s king and thus became the country’s political, economical and cultural centre – which it still is today.
The Town Hall Square is a sight worth seeing, with its 106-meter/116-yards-high tower that grants a magnificent view over the city. In the middle of the square, in the centre of Copenhagen, you will find the Dragespringvandet (Dragon Fountain), a memorial for the writer Hans Christian Andersen. The statue of “The Little Mermaid” continues to be the most popular tourist attraction in Denmark and one of the most photographed statues in the world.
If you are looking for adventure in Copenhagen, we recommend you to visit Tivoli Gardens, the highly popular amusement park. For those interested in culture we recommend you to see the Amalienborg Palace, the royal couple's winter residence, which is a major architectural work and probably the most outstanding piece of Rococo architecture in Denmark. Within a short distance of these sights, you will find a nice hotel to stay at.
Copenhagen has become famous as a city of art and culture. It houses an uncountable number of museums, theatres and galleries, which can be reached easily from your hotel in the city.
Copenhagen’s industry has been moved to the town’s outskirts. Copenhagen itself is dominated by the trade and service sector.
Copenhagen is the country’s most important traffic hub. There are several ICE trains from Germany arriving in Copenhagen every day. The town has a well-organised public transportation network with suburban trains, metropolitan trains and tram lines. In close proximity to Copenhagen’s international airport you will find a variety of nice hotels that have adapted to the requirements of business travellers.
Ferries from Oslo and Poland call at Copenhagen’s harbour.
The hotels in the city are well equipped, with numerous luxury hotels offering an excellent service for your comfortable stay. A number of hotels are traditional houses, which have met the guests’ high requirements for decades.
You will be able to go for a splendid shopping spree in Copenhagen, especially on its shopping promenade "Strøget".
