Copenhagen, which is the capital of Denmark, is also a regional center of business, culture, science, and media. The city has established a reputation for being environmentally, the harbor is so clean that it is suitable swimming, and 36% of its residents travel to their jobs by bicycle on a daily basis.

Arts and entertainment

Over the past decade, Copenhagen has evolved from being an old-style Scandinavian capital to becoming a sophisticated metropolitan city on a par with Amsterdam and Barcelona. In part, this can be attributed to massive investments that were made in both cultural facilities and infrastructure, and an influx of successful designers, architects, and culinary experts as well.

The city’s new Copenhagen Concert Hall, one of the most expensive structures of its kind that has ever been built, is now the venue used by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. The ultra-modern Copenhagen Opera House is the country’s national opera house, and the Royal Danish Ballet calls the Royal Danish Theatre its home.

When several American musicians came to live in the city in the 1960s, Copenhagen’s impressive jazz scene began to develop. Its renowned Copenhagen Jazz Festival is held annually in early July, and Vega, located in the Vesterbro district, is considered by many to be “the best concert venue in Europe.”

Food and drink

Gourmets will be happy to know that the city has 13 Michelin star restaurants. Along with a variety of up-scale restaurants, Danish, ethnic, and international cuisine can also be had at more modest eateries, and the world-famous Danish pastry can be found at bakeries throughout the city.

For centuries, Copenhagen has also been well-known for its beer. Carlsberg beer, which is legendary, has been brewed in the city since 1847, and microbreweries have also become popular in recent years. Some of them, such N%C3%B8rrebro Bryghus, are actually brew-pubs, and customers can also dine on the premises.

Business in Copenhagen

Shipping, information technology, and life science have become essential factors in the city’s growing economy, along with the research and development they require in order to meet expectations. The city, which is also strategically located, is home to Scandinavia’s largest airport, and its remarkable infrastructure is well-equipped to maintain the lively pace that has been set. Since Copenhagen acts as a regional hub, many companies have established their headquarters here, and the city has become the chosen venue for area conventions as well.
