Copenhagen Dreamland

Beautiful, youthful, raucous and refined, Copenhagen can mean many things to many people.

According to the WORLD HAPPINESS REPORT, Copenhagen is located in the no. 5 of this rank, just behind Helsinki, Aarhus, Wellington and Zurich. The city has an amazing transportation

system based on bicycles. Yes! If you don't like to drive, you'll be more than happy to know that you can commute to work using a bicycle. Cycling is one of the best ways to explore the city, and you can take bikes on trains.

The City is famous for Nyhavn, this place was a busy commercial port where ships from all over the world would dock.

The famous Hans Christian Andersen, used to live in no. 20. This is where he wrote the fairy-tales 'The Tinderbox','Little Claus and Big Claus', and 'The Princess and the Pea'.

You'll love this city if you're an architecture lover like me. It was designed by Danish architect Henning Larsen, and many other artists conrtributed among them Per Kirkeby who has created four bronze reliefs, and Olafur Eliasson.

Copenhagen has some of the most interesting architecture in the world; this city encourages architects to create buildings that aren’t just mesmerizing, but also eco-friendly. What makes Copenhagen so

special is its willingness to be adventurous and grounded at the same time.

Børsen is other of the hot spots in this city. It is the oldest stock exchange in Denmark and one of

the oldest buildings in Copenhagen.

Constructed at the request of King Christian IV in the early 17th century, the building is considered one of the finest examples of Dutch Renaissance architecture in Denmark.

For the music lovers, the Royal Danish Opera House is the perfect place to spend some time.

The place is a donation from the A.P. Møller and Chastine McKinney Møller Foundation to

the Danish people. It totals 41,000 square metres.

Five of the fourteen storeys are subterranean.

At the top of the building there spire formed from the entwined tails of four dragons.

How cool is that?

Another beautiful building is the Christiansborg Palace.

The Christiansborg we see today is the third palace and it dates from 1928. It was built and laid out in

such a way that it could accommodate the Royal Family, and the two houses of the Danish parliament.

The palace was named after Christian VI who tore down Copenhagen Castle and built the

first Christiansborg in 1740. The second Christiansborg was inaugurated in 1828, but

another devastating fire destroyed the palace again in 1884.

Talking about palaces and royalty, guards with bearskin hats and blue ceremonial uniforms parade every

day through the historic city center before they go on duty in one of Denmark’s most majestic palaces.

Every day at 11.30 am the Royal Guard parade in the streets of Copenhagen’s city center before

arriving at the royal family’s winter residence in Amalienborg Palace.

The Royal Life Guards provide a permanent guard at the Amalienborg Palace, Kastellet Rosenborg Castle and the garrison of Høvelte.

No matter if you travel for business of tourism purposes, Copenhagen is always a good idea.
