Colorful harbors, design, and a laid-back, bike-friendly vibe.
Founded as a Viking-age fishing village around the 10th century, Copenhagen became Denmark's capital in the 15th century and has since become a global model for sustainable, bike-friendly urban living. It's known for the colorful Nyhavn harbor, Danish design, the Little Mermaid statue, and "hygge" — the Danish art of cozy contentment.
