Copenhagen, Denmark, seemingly has numerous distinct images, each accurately capturing a facet of the city. Copenhagen is an old merchants' town overlooking the entrance to the Baltic Sea; a progressive city tolerant of a wide range of social behavior; a metropolis that manages to run efficiently yet feel relaxed; and a city with so many architectural treasures that it's known as the "City of Beautiful Spires." Put together, these images, which enhance Copenhagen tourism, make a truly memorable picture for Copenhagen visitors. And given the Danes' highly tuned environmental awareness, Copenhagen sightseeing can be enjoyed on foot or on a bicycle.
