Wonderful Copenhagen Incentive – Probably the ‘Best City in The World’

A trip to Copenhagen is not complete without exploring the city – on a bike! Denmark is renowned for being a cycling nation, and Copenhagen is known for having more bikes than cars! Biking through the streets will give you an authentic feeling of Copenhagen and it not only a safe form of transport and sightseeing but you get to have fun at the same time!

Find bridges specifically and inclusively designed for cyclists and pedestrians allow you can easily connect to all parts of the city without having to share the route with other vehicles. Guided tours will lead you round the city as you cycle over the bicycle bridges  “The Bicycle Snake”, “Byggebroen” and “Inner Harbour Bridge” and take in beautiful scenery of the city.

Experience the stunning filming locations where critically-acclaimed movies including ‘The Danish Girl’, and ‘A Royal Affair’ were filmed. On ‘A Royal Affair’ guided tour, see sights like Cristiansborg, the Prince’s Palace at the National Museum and Nytorv.

‘The Danish Girl’ provided actress Alicia Vikander with an Oscar, and much of the visual parts of the movie are filmed in the beautiful and unique areas of Copenhagen. Filming locations include historic street Snaregade, The Royal Theatre, the iconic harbour Nyhavn, the Marble Church and even the Town hall.

In addition to Hollywood blockbustser, the rise of the Nordic Noir saw Copenhagen as cetnral to the craze around Scandinavian crime thrillers.

Walk the paths around Copenahagen of The Killing’s Sarah Lund, perhaps even pick up one of her famous Faroe Island jumpers! The iconic Øresund/Öresund/Oresund Bridge, central to the Danish-Swedish joint venture show is visible from most parts of town. And in the centre of the city, the imposing ‘Borgen’ parliament building, where Birgitte Nyborg ran her campaign to become Prime Minister towers over the city’s rooftops.

One of Denmark’s most famous exports, Carlsberg’s Old Brewery in Valby, in the north of the city offers a great experience for visits and events alike! The Old Carlsberg Brewery, from 1847, has been converted into a modern centre for visitors covering 10,000 m². In the courtyard is a smaller replica of the Little Mermaid Statue that Carl Jacobsen donated to Copenhagen.

Though most of the production is now conducted on the Danish mainland, the old brewery is still home to their small batch and specialist brews and you can glimpse the production process in action. A tour of the brewery building takes you through the process and discover the iconic advertising of the ‘best beer in the world’ whilst you enjoy a sample, or two! The unique displays and interactive exhibitions take you on a trip through the world’s largest collection of beer bottles, the history of beer, and the Carlsberg development. The tour also brings you through a sculpture garden, award-winning stables, and a souvenir shop. What’s more, special beer tours and private tastings can be arranged, as well as privatization for events.

An alternative way to explore the beautiful city of Copenhagen is to take to the water. Sail the quaint canals and waterways and see the colourful waterfront buildings from a different perspective. Sail through inner Copenhagen as you pass sights including the Old Stock Exchange (Børsen), Nyhavn and Amalienborg Palace. As you head out into the main harbour, no trip to Copenhagen would be complete without heading down to Langelinie and passing Denmark’s most famous girl – the Little Mermaid!

The Nordic cuisine has gained international appraisal for its unique identity and for using organic, sustainable and local products. Stop by one of the hippest streets in Copenhagen, Jægerborggade and try the simple, yet delicious food at Manfreds. The raw materials used include biodynamic vegetables and meats from Danish farms. The restaurant also offers natural wine, making it the first natural wine bar!

Perhaps head to the maritime area of Christianshavn, home of the trendy restaurant “Nabo”, which translated means neighbour – named after being next door to famous sibling restaurant “Kedeau”, offering exquisite cuisine and wine pairing at affordable prices. Alternatively, for some superb steak and meat, stop by the restaurant “KoD Vesterbro” located in the hipster area of Vesterbro. “KoD” is funnily enough the name for meat in Danish, and the restaurant offers the finest and most mouth-watering steaks and meats to satisfy the needs of any meat lover.

Looking for something fun, then why not head to the world famous Tivoli Gardens amusement park!  A must for all visitors to the city, young and old. Tivoli is located just a few minutes walk from City Hall, at the side of Copenhagen Central Station.

Tivoli Gardens was founded in 1843 and has become a national treasure and an international attraction. Fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen visited many times, as did Walt Disney and many other celebrities, who all fell in love with the gardens.

Part of Tivoli Gardens’ secret is that there is something for everyone. The scenery is beautiful with exotic architecture, historic buildings and lush gardens. At night, thousands of coloured lights create a fairy tale atmosphere that is completely unique.
