Introduction to Copenhagen
Copenhagen is one of Europe's most enjoyable and liveable cities. Situated on the Oresund (Danish: Øresund) strait, with Sweden (Malmo) just minutes away by train, it is a link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia, and has a wealth of cultural and entertaining things to see and do. The city has a reputation for tolerance, the fascinating 'free city' of Christiania, a community of people who have tried to create an equal and just consensus-governed democracy for its people. There is more to Copenhagen than Carlsberg and The Little Mermaid, and a trip to the wonderful Tivoli Gardens will leave the visitor in no doubt that this is a very special city. The Danish capital is also home to the world's longest pedestrianised shopping street.

Tip : Consider staying at a hotel in Malmö instead. Because of the way the Danish Krona has risen sharply (in line with the Euro) against the UK£,
you can make massive savings by staying in Malmö instead of Copenhagen and taking the train across the Oresund bridge. Malmö is a pleasant
city in it's own right and well worth a visit wherever you stay.
