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 its kings who built the state as we see it today. From the first attempts of the Danish Viking merchants, through the medieval fortress of Bishop Absalon and the royal residence of Christian IV of Denmark to the modern economic and cultural center, the city has become a cozy, clean and attractive place with a high standard of living. The Christiansborg Palace, located in Copenhagen, was built in the 12th century.
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 divided into smaller neighborhoods.
