Copenhagen
a little bit about…
For decades, Copenhagen has been lauded for its design, its food, dedication to sustainability. But this year, architecture is the focus after UNESCO named the city the World Capital of Architecture.
First, to make the most of your trip, make use of the Danish Architecture Center app with in-depth details about hundreds of notable sites.
Second, use a bike to crisscross this dynamic, ever'-evolving Scandinavian capital. One thing that will never change is the Danes’ devotion to cycling, a true joy in a place as bike'-friendly (and flat) as Copenhagen on blissfully long summer days.
