In the city of Copenhagen, capital city of Denmark

 Copenhagen is the epitome of Scandi cool, modernist lamps light New Nordic tables, bridges buzz with cycling commuters and locals dive into pristine waterways.

=========================================================================
(in the capital city of Denmark) Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, but beyond the remains of a very old castle, museums dedicated to the famous raiders, and narrow streets between canals, you will find that Copenhagen is a modern city. Its colored houses of Nyhavn (shown here), Tivoli Gardens, and an old mermaid statue still draw lots of visitors.

+ Situated on the islands of Zealand and Amager, it is separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the Øresund strait. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by both rail and road.

+ Originally a Viking fishing village established in the 10th century in the vicinity of what is now Gammel Strand, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. During the 16th century, the city served as the de facto capital of the Kalmar Union and the seat of the Union's monarchy, which governed most of the modern-day Nordic region as part of a Danish confederation with Sweden and Norway.

+ Copenhagen is now home to the University of Copenhagen(the oldest in Denmark}, the Technical University of Denmark, Copenhagen Business School, and the IT University of Copenhagen.

+ During the 16th century, the city served as the de facto capital of the Kalmar Union and the seat of the Union's monarchy that governed most of the modern-day Nordic region. The city prospered as the cultural and economic center of Scandinavia during the Renaissance, and by the 17th century, it had become a regional center of power, serving as the heart of the Danish government. During the 18th century, Copenhagen endured a plague outbreak and launched redevelopment efforts that included the building of the Frederiksstaden district and the establishment of institutions like the Royal Theater and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1807, the city was bombarded by a British fleet during the Napoleonic Wars.

.+ After World War II, the development of housing and businesses were along railway routes from the city center. (The city's Metro serves central Copenhagen.)

+ Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen much urban and cultural development, as a result of considerable investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is now the cultural, economic, and governmental center of Denmark, and one of the major financial centers of Northern Europe; With its Stock Exchange, Copenhagen's economy has also developed rapidly in the service sector, Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen has been integrated with the Swedish province of Scania and its largest city, Malmö, thus forming the Øresund Region. With bridges connecting its several districts, the city of Copenhagen is yet characterized by parks, promenades, and waterfronts. which are quite popular with its many tourists.
