When I walked down the Stroget, the world's longest pedestrian street I felt like I was transported into time. It’s probably because of Copenhagen's 17th Century architecture which is very distinctive and attractive, reminiscent of the time when Hans Christian Andersen lived. This Danish capital is a sure steal for tourists like no other city in this part of Scandinavia because it offers great shopping,
exquisite dining, and a whole lot of other activities.
Copenhagen is
Scandinavia's largest city. The city can be synonymous with the words bright, lively, and friendly. The city's sky-scraper will surely captivate anyone. But the biggest attraction in this city is the Tivoli Gardens which is a sort of a mini-Disneyland. The only difference is that it is also a fancifully-manicured park. The Tivoli Garden was established in 1843 and since then it has enchanted people from all over the world. The park is located right in the middle of the city. It is a sure hit for the young and young-at-heart because it feels like you are in a fairytale village.
When in Copenhagen, you might want to go to the Christianborg Palace that houses the Danish Parliament and Denmark's Supreme Court. It is used for royal receptions and official engagements up until this day. One should not miss to visit the statue of the
Little Mermaid which is considered the essence of Copenhagen. The Little Mermaid statue was based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale "The Little Mermaid," which is also a hit Disney animated movie. It attracts over one million tourists annually.
