CITY GUIDE : COPENHAGEN
C O P E N H AG E N
One of the reasons why Copenhagen is such a good city to visit on business is because it is so compact and easy to navigate . In fact you can get to the city from the airport in just 15 minutes . This capital city , which is home to a million Danes is in a great location , overlooking the Oresund strait . With Sweden within easy reach , it serves as a cultural and geographic link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia .
One of the other reasons behind Copenhagen being a fantastic business destination is the people – they ’ re renowned for their friendly nature and the fact many speak perfect English is a bonus . If you do have any time to explore then there are plenty of attractions to choose from and many of them are in walking distance of each other . The two most famous are the statue of The Little Mermaid at Langelinje Pier , and the National Museum in the Prince ’ s Palace .
The National Museum is home to Restaurant Julian where the Danish and international dishes are inspired by on-going exhibitions and activities . Organic produce is high on the agenda , with 99.5 % of the wine organic . In addition the restaurant only uses fresh , locally grown , seasonal organic produce . This is a great location for lunch , but isn ’ t open for dinner .
An option for dinner would be the two Michelin starred Noma . The restaurant is housed in a 19th century harbour -side warehouse conversion with rough walks , old beams and classic Danish furniture . The food has a strong Scandinavian identity and is created by Chef Rene Redzepi .
If you do have any time to visit the shops then Europe ’ s longest pedestrianised street , Stroget-Illums Bolighus is where you could start . However , Kompagnistraede is a few streets away and is more interesting and less frenetic .
