Founded in 1167 by Archbishop Absalon, Copenhagen, with "only" about 580,000 inhabitants, is actually a relatively small capital compared to other European cities. But that's precisely what makes it so charming! It gives you a very homey feeling, even if it's your first time there. Located directly on the \u00d8resund Strait and the bridge of the same name, it's a true gem among Scandinavian capitals. During a long weekend, we visited the following sights in Copenhagen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the way to and from Copenhagen<\/h2>\n

Copenhagen is currently undergoing a transformation as the city strives to become greener. Many streets are being made smaller, and bike paths are being expanded. Trees are being planted, and small, green spaces are being created. A new subway line is also being built, which will run beneath the city in a kind of ring. But all the construction sites don't dampen the Danes' composure, and in many places, people are even allowing people to observe the construction work from vantage points.<\/p>\n

Since Copenhageners love cycling (Copenhagen was named a UCI Bike City in 2007), the government launched a project to make cycling easier for residents and tourists. "Bycyklen" is a bike-sharing system featuring ultra-modern electric bikes. These white pedal bikes, equipped with GPS and a tablet, are located at many prominent locations throughout Copenhagen. You can find more information about the costs and how easy it is to rent one on the official website: bycyklen.dk\/en<\/a>. A really great idea! Many of the city's sights are also accessible on foot. The easiest way, of course, is by Segway (you can find the post about our great tour here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
