New York was so damn good that they named it twice, at least according to the song. Copenhagen, on the other hand, goes one better and actually managed to adopt the title: “Wonderful Copenhagen”... and in fairness to it, it is pretty wonderful. The city is something of a stopgap between mainland Europe to the south and the mysterious Scandinavian peninsula to the north, it is a little of both but, confusingly, very much neither of them at the same time.

Looking out upon Copenhagen from a height offers a very beautiful view indeed. The eye is met with terracotta coloured roofs and copper-green steeples stretching out into the horizon, these are broken up with placid canals, bicycle filled roads and intermittent squares. Though the city is more than just architecturally beautiful; the first thing any hapless tourist might notice is the sheer beauty and immense stature of the city's inhabitants... this must truly be the best looking city in the world. Though, annoyingly, they offer more than mere aesthetics and it is a fact that the Danish people are amongst the friendliest and most genial people on this spinning globe.

When most people think of the attractions Copenhagen has to offer they think of pretty little mermaid sitting atop the end of a pier... and then they get a bit stuck; though Denmark's capital has as much to offer as any other European city, if not a great deal more. With a sprawling theme park (which goes by the name of Tivoli) and Copencabana, a huge water-park based in the harbour, both right in the middle of the city centre... Copenhagen is offering amenities few other cities can lay claim to. This is of course before we even begin to delve into the city's historical and cultural attractions.

Drinking in the streets is legal and it is not uncommon to see people ,both young and old, out enjoying a stroll and a beer in warm summer evenings, and why shouldn't they when they live in the home of Carlsberg. 'Wonderful Copenhagen' has a million and one things to offer and traveller and it is a place that is rarely visited just once, it is very much so more than just a mermaid.

Go to Tivoli Garden
 Right in the heart of the city lies this rare gem; this is a fairground open almost year round offering a blend of traditional atmosphere and cutting edge rides. Sitting right across the  road from the central train station it's a hard spot to miss, so don't hesitate to go in and take a ride on the infamous 'Demon'.
Check Out the Flea Markets
Copenhagen is a slightly unlikely fashion capital, with some of the best flea markets in Europe God only knows what sort of treasures are awaiting discovery.
Go to a Festival
The Danish are mad for a good time and how better to let your hair down than with a great festival… and those Danes are not lacking in that department. With events like Copenhagen Jazz Festival and RAW (a massive clubbing event) right in the heart of the city, or even the world famous Roskilde festival an hour outside the capital. There’s never a dull moment.
Go For a Dip
Make a splash at Copencabana, this is the manmade beach right in the middle of Copenhagen complete with diving boards and slides… you might forget for a moment that you’re on the cusp of Scandinavia.
