Copenhagen, largest city and capital of Denmark, is home and final resting place of author Hans Christian Andersen, and, in fact, the fairy tale feel of the city is everywhere, from the coppery green towers alongside gingerbread houses to the cobblestone streets lined with bikes and warm people.

Rosenborg Castle

This was the royal residence until the 19th century, and is one of the city’s most popular museums, where you’ll see the Royal Crown Jewels, costumes, and other royal memorabilia.

The Little Mermaid

The main charachter in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale is Copenhagen's landmak and the most photographed statue in the world.

Tivoli Gardens

Perhaps the best known of all Copenhagen’s attractions, Tivoli Gardens is the world-renowned amusement park located in the very heart of the city. Visitors are dazzled by the park’s fairyland lights, beautiful flowers, gift shops, rides, restaurants and strolling musicians.

Strøget

Discover the places you’ve always longed to see. Marvel at each country’s historic icons and scenic panoramas.  England, Ireland and Northern Ireland, while home to perhaps the most trend-setting and international of European cities, also have some of the most beautiful countryside on earth.  In Italy, you can see more than 2,000 years of history within one city, witness the genius of Michelangelo and DaVinci or visit an enchanting island city that defies reason.  France shares with us the pleasures of life: excellent wines, awe-inspiring art and sumptuous food. Germany zooms ahead along its Autobahn, but stops long enough to raise a stein, sing a song and welcome the world.  The Netherlands, with one wooden shoe in its charming past and the other in the innovative future, continues to enchant visitors with its iconic windmills, tulips and canals.
