Copenhagen-The fairytale city Copenhagen is a perfect weekend break destination for anyone who wants to enjoy art, culture, and beautiful architecture. Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and it is one of Europe’s most charming cities.

Over the centuries, fishing and trading turned the place into a

prosperous town and in 1343 King Valdemar Atterdag made it the capital of Denmark. The city of Copenhagen and the surrounding areas have many different things to offer visitors including museums, art galleries, 2 restaurants, botanical gardens, the Tivoli Gardens and lots more.

It is located about 40 minutes

th

outside the city in a 19 century villa which is built on a hillside which slopes downwards to the sea. It has an excellent collection of international contemporary art and various interesting temporary exhibitions. Also, the Black Diamond, Denmark’s striking Royal Library, is well worth a visit. 3

created in honour of the Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen, who entertained children around the world with his fairytales. The story of the mermaid who rescued a shipwrecked prince is particularly well-known. You can also easily combine a trip to Denmark with a visit to Sweden.
