Copenhagen, Denmark
Your time in Copenhagen will surprise and
delight. For the style-conscious, you’ll be kept
well-entertained by the Stroget, Europe’s
longest shopping street, while Europe’s oldest
functioning observatory, the Round Tower, is
the perfect spot for a bird’s eye view of the
city. No visit to this city would be complete
without a pilgrimage to the statue of the Little
Mermaid, but if you really want to get in touch
with your inner child, the Tivoli Gardens are a
true wonderland. The city frequently tops the
“most liveable” lists – grab one of the 1000+
free bicycles dotted in locations all over the
city and find out why for yourself.
