Scandinavia's largest city and historic gateway to the Baltic Sea is a dense but well organized blend of cobblestone roads, historic buildings, and modern infrastructure encompassing museums, music, and cafés.
Of the many attractions, the most popular include the grand Royal Museum of Fine Arts and the beautiful and fun Tivoli Gardens amusement park. The Little Mermaid statue, near the pier, is the city's most recognizable woman.
Almost half a million passengers and 320 cruise ships a year berth at one of two cruise terminals in Copenhagen: Langelinie Pier and Freeport Terminal, both of which are near the city centre. A cruise passenger facility is available at Langelinie pier with a tourist information centre.
