Copenhagen is an ancient city, full of beautiful historic buildings and many points of interest. The ramparts and walls surrounding the city centre were demolished around the middle of the nineteenth century. This allowed Copenhagen to assume the peculiar architectural structure characterised by narrow stone streets that lead directly to the city centre and which are the background to numerous shops and bars.
In recent years, Copenhagen's historic architectural heritage has been enriched with modern and contemporary buildings. An example of these are those designed by the Danish and French architects Bjarke Ingels and Jean Nouvel, who gave a new touch to the old-fashioned style of the city.
Copenhagen is also known for its relaxing atmosphere. Denmark’s capital effortlessly captures the essence of ‘hygge’, a Danish term that encapsulates a sense of cosiness, comfort, and contentment. The city's charming streets, picturesque canals, and stylish yet welcoming spaces contribute to the overall hygge atmosphere. Locals and visitors alike savour moments of relaxation in cosy cafés, enjoy leisurely walks through parks, and appreciate the warm, convivial ambience of Copenhagen's many restaurants and bars.
