Copenhagen Cruises
Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark, consists of two parts. The larger part of
Copenhagen is located on the eastern coast of Sjaelland Island, while the smaller part,
Christianshavn, is located on Amager Island. A bridge connects the two areas that make up
the unique city of Copenhagen. Copenhagen was nothing more than a quaint fishing village
until the 12th century. The world began to take notice of this little town once it came
into Bishop Absalon's hands. The convenience of its harbor made Copenhagen an attractive
conquest to many foreign powers. Everyone from the British to the Swedes wanted a piece of
Copenhagen. This once sleepy fishing village is now one of the most popular tourist
destinations in the world. The people are friendly, the waters remain pristine
and the buildings are beautiful.
Breathtaking Architecture
Not only is Copenhagen the political center of Denmark, but it is the cultural heart as
well. Although two fires destroyed many of the buildings from the 16th century during the
18th century, several brilliant displays of architecture still remain. King Christian IV
had a passion for architecture. The most magnificent testament to his passion is the
Borsen. The three intertwined dragons tails located on the top of the spire are intricate
and fascinating. Not only is this a wondrous building and a must see, but it is also the
oldest stock exchange still in use. Charlottenborg Palace is another historical landmark
and now serves as the seat of the Academy of Arts. Copenhagen is a city that is best seen
on foot or bike. Vacationers can explore on their own or join any of the
city's numerous organized tours. Everything is in such close proximity to each other that
it literally feels like you are at one minute in the present and the next minute in the
past. Children and adults alike will take great pleasure in Copenhagen's most famous
daughter. The Statue of the Little Mermaid is located in the Copenhagen Harbor. The statue
was erected in 1913 as a tribute to the popular children's fairy tale written by Hans
Christian Anderson.
Abundant Fun in Copenhagen
The best place to visit while in Copenhagen is definitely Tivoli. A pantomime theatre,
open-air stage, restaurants and concerts make this area the cultural heart of the city as
well as the most beautiful. The gardens, exploding with different colored tulips, will
take anyone's breath away. On most nights, spectacular fireworks light up the sky while
thousands of colored lanterns glow throughout the area. Outdoor lovers will find an
abundance of things to do while in Copenhagen. Bellevue Beach is a popular spot as are the
city's many public pools. Beautiful sculptures and opulent tiles make swimming at the
Frederiksberg Ponyudlejning a unique and stimulating experience. When it comes to dining,
vacationers have the luxury of choosing between a wide variety of restaurants. Even the
most discerning palate will leave a dining experience feeling completely satisfied. After
dinner, tourists can take a romantic moonlit stroll through the city. Music lovers will be
happy to discover that Copenhagen takes their jazz very, very seriously.
There are also a large number of nightclubs that are perfect for dancing the night away.
