Acknowledged as one of the world's greenest cities, Copenhagen has much of its centre reserved for pedestrians, enforces strict climate policies and bikes outnumber cars on the street. It is also packed with quirky attractions and a skyline dominated by delicate spires rather than hulking skyscrapers typical of other modern cities

First, there’s the prime location slap-bang in the heart of Europe and framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Jura Alps.
