The city, whose name translates to "merchant's harbor," is located in the eastern part of the country, on the banks of the Eresund, a strait that connects the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
The population of the city is 500,000, the agglomeration - more than a million. Almost the entire population of Copenhagen speaks English very well, so if you know the language, you will have a comfortable stay in the city.
The city is very old, with a history dating back to the 11th century. Copenhagen was founded on the site of a small village that once grew up near a castle. First, the village was fortified, then it was given some city privileges, and from the 15th century, the real battles for Copenhagen began.
The city survived a siege during the 17th-century Earl's War, was quarter-burned in the 18th century, and was bombarded by the British in the early 19th century.
And yet its turbulent history hasn't stopped it from being one of the ten most environmentally friendly cities in the world and one of the top cities to live in.
