Copenhagen Cruise Guide
Overview
Canals, lakes and the sea form the backdrop to modern Copenhagen, Scandinavia's biggest city, and are a reminder of its long heritage as a major Baltic port.
Despite its size, Copenhagen retains a comfortable, small-town feel, but offers the best in arts and culture, nightlife, heritage attractions and high-class shopping - Danish design is world-renowned.
Denmark's capital is a perfect cruise holiday destination - it's friendly, fun and offers just the right blend of old and new.
Sightseeing
Museums, galleries, castles and palaces abound, among them the Amalienborg Palace, elegant home of the Danish Royal family, the Viking Ship Museum and Rosenborg Castle (www.rosenborgslot.dk).
For those in search of something a bit different, the Carlsberg Brewery (www.carlsberg.com) visitor centre is a major draw, while the Tivoli amusement park (www.tivoli.dk) is a must. Boat cruises in the harbour are also popular.
