ABOUT
Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital, part of Northern Europe’s Nordic countries and Scandinavian culture. The name itself, Copenhagen, has an interesting history. The original Danish name for the word meant "merchants’ harbor," and through German translations, became known as Copenhagen. Copenhagen is a unique city, characterized by its canals, cycling culture, strong economy, and happy locals. It is actually known as being the happiest city in the world, due to its shorter workdays, free college tuition, more vacation days, and levels of personal interaction.
Beyond being the happiest city in the world, Copenhagen is home to excellent Danish cuisine, a magnificent transportation system, stunning churches and museums, and even a hippie commune that attracts foreign visitors from across the globe.
