Old Copenhagen is the capital and the very heart of Denmark. This is one of the oldest cities in Europe, crowded to the brim with museums, architectural monuments, magnificent parks and wonderful pedestrian streets. Copenhagen - the sights of this city, are both a living history and a center of business, culture and trade. It is one of the largest European ports and a center for the intersection of highways and railways.
Many rightly believe that the northern part of the city is the most interesting. Here you will find two royal palaces unique in their grandeur and beauty: Rosenborg and Amalienborg. Just ten minutes walk to the north and your eyes will open the famous Little Mermaid sitting on a stone. It has been considered a symbol of the city for many centuries. Take a stroll through the unforgettable Tivoli park, filled with flowers and fountains. It is a bit noisy and always full of visitors. The famous Marble Church attracts visitors with a daily ritual - a change of the palace guard.
Copenhagen - its inexhaustible sights. This is the old medieval castle of Resenborg, which is famous for its unusual and amazing Museum of Danish Kings, where you can see the family treasures of the royal dynasty. In the north of the capital you will find the largest zoo in Europe, where more than two thousand species of animals live. Here, nearby, is the Danish Film Museum, a center of attraction for many tourists. The unique Danish Naval Museum, reflecting the centuries-old history of Danish shipbuilding.
The central part of the city is a pedestrian part, consisting of a network of streets connected by vast areas. These are Radhuspladsen and Kongens Nytorv. There are many restaurants and shops, restless tourists and sedate residents of the city. The city center is a concentration of museums widely known outside the country. First of all, it is the famous Carlsberg Glyptotek, with a unique collection of masterpieces of Danish and French art in the field of painting and sculpture. Two museums are in great demand among tourists - a unique Guinness World Records Museum and a rather interesting and funny Museum of Erotica.
The southern part of the city is the true northern Venice, covered by a network of canals. They can be safely included in the sights of Copenhagen. A water bus runs here, on which you can take an interesting tour of the two districts of the city of Hristianshavn and Slotsholmen.
Traditionally, the center of trade in Denmark is Copenhagen. Sights are not only museums and architectural monuments. Weekly “shopping Sundays” are held here, as well as days of mass shopping and outing for residents and guests of the capital. Sales of world brands take place in the largest department stores in the capital. At Strögeti Köbmagergade you can purchase exclusive works of Danish designers created in a single copy.
A country that is widely known for its flea markets is Denmark. Copenhagen is filled with shoppers from April to October, eager to find antiques and antique paintings.
Lovers of opera and ballet will be pleased by the New Opera, where, starting in August, the Royal Opera gives concerts. In the summer months, the Tivol Symphony Orchestra gathers conductors and musicians from all over the world in order to let all lovers touch the world of classical music.
I can’t even believe that so many historical, cultural and modern centers of Europe have concentrated on such a relatively small area . But this is not surprising, because Copenhagen has a long history, and each generation of residents left something interesting for posterity. We talked only about a small part of the city of Copenhagen. Its sights must be seen with your own eyes. Therefore, it is definitely worth coming here.
