Welcome to Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, a city spread across the two islands of Amager and Zealand, is one of the cultural and environmental capitals of Europe. This is a city where, despite freezing winter temperatures, 36% of all citizens commute to work by bicycle. Consistently ranked among the world's most livable, best-designed and environmentally-friendly cities, it also has a hard-working business ethos. It's a place where English-speaking expatriates can quickly adjust to life and regain productivity, part of Copenhagen's multi-lingual workforce. Welcome to Europe at its best!

Getting There
The need-to-know stuff, from visas to vaccinations to budget planning. Need to rent a car, find a hotel, a short-term apartment? Click through our articles. Nervous about cultural changes? We’ll tell you what to expect and how to cope. Pets? You need to know the red tape.

Living There
Best place to live? In the Frederiksberg Kommune or the picturesque Osterbro? What is it like to drive in Denmark? Can you use a foreign driver's license? And what about a super-competent doctor, a dentist, an opthalmologist? How do you hook up a phone line? We have the details.

Raising Kids There
Clue in on the best schools, their curricula and fees, childcare options and our recommendations for pediatricians. Copenhagen is a great place to bring your kids out - outdoor activities, the famous Tivoli Garden, zoos, restaurants. And for dressing them, we'll show you the best stores.

Playing There
Okay, you’ve finished work, so now what? Copenhagen offers a smorgasbord of sights and sounds but we'll help you pursue your interests - sightseeing, keeping fit, cinema, music, art, restaurants, nightclubs, spas, beauty salons.
