Copenhagen
Brief history
Copenhagen, also known as the city with the Big Bridges, is one of Europe's most fascinating and diverse capitals. Copenhagen is rich in history and is known for being the seat of kings who dominated the Scandinavian peninsula in times past and built the Danish state. Dating back to the middle ages ,more specifically the 11th century, the city expanded its reach, influence and riches over the years. One of its most significant expansions came under the rule of Charles IV of Denmark, who turned the settlement into the most important harbour and fortification of the country. Throughout history and following a lot of development, the city has become a cozy, clean and attractive place boasting one of the highest standards of living in Europe.
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, has a population of over 760,000 people, and over 2 million people live in the entire metropolitan area. The city is divided into 10 districts, which are themselves split into smaller neighborhoods.
