| | | | Copenhagen: The
ancient capital of Denmark – but also a vibrant modern city
Although the actual date of
Copenhagen’s founding has been lost to the mists of time, a key milestone was
in the year 1160 A.D. when King Valdemar conveyed the city to Bishop Absalonas a token of his gratitude.
Copenhagen is though now a
vibrant, modern city with plenty to offer visitors:
- Copenhagen is a must-visit destination for foodies, attracted by the new
Nordic food movement that has influenced and created a flourishing restaurant
scene in the city. New Nordic Cuisine hit international headlines when Noma was
appointed the World’s Best Restaurant in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014.
- Cycling is Copenhageners’ preferred way to get to work or school, and
sustainability and renewable energy influences several aspects of life in the metropolitan
area. An array of wind turbines near downtown Copenhagen delivers clean energy to
businesses and homes, and if tempted, you can take a dip directly in the clean
waters of Copenhagen Harbour – under the watchful eyes of professional lifeguards.
- Copenhagen is an attractive cruise ship destination and turnaround point in
the Baltic Region, expected to attract 850,000 cruise visitors by the end of 2017.
- With the busiest airport in Scandinavia serving close to 80 000 passengers
a day and more than 29 million passengers in 2016, Copenhagen is an
international hub with more than 160 direct flights to long and short haul
destinations. The airport is situated close to the city centre – only a short,
inexpensive ride away by train or metro.
- At 1.2 million inhabitants, Copenhagen is the largest city in a metropolitan
area that stretches as far as southwestern Sweden. Home to 3.9 million people, Greater
Copenhagen is also referred to as the Øresund Region, taking its name from the
narrow stretch of water that separates Denmark from Sweden.
The Danish
Gambling Authority looks very much forward to
welcoming you to Copenhagen from the 17th to 20th of
September 2018.
