Built on a series of islands, Copenhagen balances tradition and kinetic energy, while all the while the Little Mermaid statue keeps a thoughtful watch on the harbor. Capital city of the kingdom of Denmark since 1417, Copenhagen is a city in which the modern developments and old buildings are blended to form a thriving and harmonious environment. Main highlights include Town Hall Square, Tivoli Gardens, New Carlsberg Glyptoteque, the National Museum, Christiansborg Palace, home of the Danish parliament, and the residence of the Royal Family.
