Welcome to Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark! Copenhagen is situated on the eastern coast of Zealand, the largest and most populated island in Denmark, and has a population of more than 1.25 million, making it the largest city in the country. Copenhagen is a fascinating city, rich in culture and history, and is closely associated with the famous writer, Hans Christian Andersen, who is best remembered for his fairytales.

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is the largest airport in Scandinavia, and is situated on Amager Island, just 5 miles south of the city centre. There are daily domestic and European flights and there are excellent links with the city centre. Passengers can chose to travel by metro, bus or train, to and from the city. Both Copenhagen Central Station and the bus terminal are located in the city centre.
