Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is one of the most livable cities in the world, with clean harbor water you can swim in, more bikes than cars and a world-famous food scene.
Nyhavn and the center
Nyhavn, a canal lined with colorful 17th-century houses and old wooden ships, is the city's postcard view. Strøget, one of Europe's longest pedestrian streets, crosses the center. Amalienborg Palace, home of the royal family, has a daily changing of the guard.
Tivoli and beyond
Tivoli Gardens, opened in 1843, is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. The Little Mermaid statue sits on the waterfront, and Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels. Christianshavn has canals and the spiral tower of the Church of Our Saviour.
