CopenhagenTourist Information and Travel Guide
"We are red, we are white, we are Danish Dynamite." Copenhagen, Denmark--Scandinavia's largest city--has been called "The Paris of the North." That may be an exaggeration, but it's an understandable display of hyperbole in a part of Europe where joie de vivre is occasionally smothered under a blanket of earnestness. This is a city where the Queen designs opera costumes, homosexual marriages have been legal for a dozen years, the government tolerates hippie squatters on military land, and jazz is the lingua franca of the musical scene. Tourist attractions range from the world's oldest amusement park to royal palaces. On the museum scene, you can choose anything from a museum of the Danish Resistance to a museum of erotica. Shopping offers a plethora of opportunities, from amber trinkets to Royal Copenhagen Porcelain or Georg Jensen silver to Danish modern furniture. And when you're hungry from looking at countless empty Flora Danica plates, you can head for one of Copenhagen's more than 2,000 restaurants to enjoy smřrrebrod with cold Tuborg beer or a five-course French feast.
