Founded a thousand years ago, the city is home to Europe’s oldest modern monarchy. It has always been royal, proud, beautiful, colorful and welcoming, and it still is.

When Slavic pirates plundered and raided these shores in the 12th century, they prompted the locals, led by Bishop Absalon, to build a fortress on the islet of Slotsholmen inside the harbor. It still stands today and still defends Denmark, only in a modern way: it is now home to the Danish Parliament. The city of “København” (køber means merchant in Danish, and havn means harbor) gradually spread north of Slotsholmen, thanks to the money that came from fishing. Christian IV, the Danish king who ruled from the late 16th to the mid-17th century, transformed Copenhagen into a modern capital. From here he controlled much of Scandinavia, and during his reign some of the buildings that still grace the city today were built. One of them is Rosenborg Castle, built in the Dutch Renaissance style and set in the King’s Garden (Kongens Have). Inside, you can admire marble and painted ceilings, gilded mirrors, Dutch tapestries, silver lions, gold tableware… Especially fascinating is the Royal Treasury in the castle’s basement, home to the Danish Crown Jewels.

Copenhagen is full of museums with excellent collections, and one of the best is the National Museum, which traces the region’s development from the Paleolithic era through Bronze Age finds such as oak coffins, musical horns and gravestones… to Viking weapons and other important objects that belonged to these famous raiders and pirates, who reached the shores of America five centuries before Columbus. The National Gallery of Denmark also holds paintings by world-famous modern artists such as Picasso and Munch. The Glyptotek boasts an impressive collection of Etruscan art, paintings by French and Danish artists from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a special focus on Gauguin, as well as sculptures spanning five millennia, including several dozen works by Rodin.

Be sure to set aside some time to explore the Latin Quarter and Christiania, two distinctive parts of the city that are sure to impress you. The Latin Quarter, with its narrow streets, will lead you to the University, the Library and Vor Frue Kirke cathedral, built in the 19th-century Neoclassical style, with striking statues of Christ and the Twelve Apostles. Christiania was founded in the ‘70s as a hippie commune, where homeless and young people who could not afford high rents and taxes set up a state within a state with its own rules and organization. Today about a thousand people live here, and anyone can apply for a home. Residents pay no tax on buildings and houses, only on land. The neighborhood is interesting because it is a historic quarter crisscrossed by canals, and hashish can be bought here freely, with the approval of the authorities… Round off your visit with a walk along the canals, lined with plenty of pleasant cafés. Near Christiania stands the 17th-century Vor Frelsers Kirke, which offers spectacular views of Copenhagen and Sweden across the water.

Another must-see is Amalienborg, home of the royal family since the late 18th century. It consists of four palaces around a central square, watched over by guards whose ceremonial changing takes place every day at noon. If you decide to visit, the interior of the northwest palace and a study used by three kings are open to tourists.

Tivoli Gardens is the perfect place to say goodbye to Copenhagen, as it is one of the most famous, best and most beautiful amusement parks in Europe. With 40 restaurants and 28 rides, there is something for everyone. After this adventurous trip back to childhood, stroll over to the Little Mermaid statue, the symbol of Copenhagen. At first glance not all that impressive, the statue depicts a mermaid sadly waiting for her prince. The beauty of the story itself, and the fact that the statue is not only the city’s symbol but also a symbol of great love and faith, make this monument well worth your attention.
