Copenhagen is the most livable city in Denmark, which is a popular tourist destination. The city's name means "merchants harbor". Located amongst tiny islands, Copenhagen sits on the island of Zealand and marks the passage from the Baltic to the North Sea making it one of the busiest ports in Northern Europe.
Historically, Copenhagen was originally called Havn. The first mention of Havn came in 1043. The area had become a busy trade center. A trade fair was held in Havn each year for two months and attracted merchants from various Baltic port towns.
As the capital of the oldest kingdom in the world royal Copenhagen has many interesting landmarks and architectural master-pieces reminding us of Danish history so intimately associated with the Danish throne and the royal family. Right in the centre of the city you'll find four royal palaces of which Amalienborg is the residence of Queen Margrethe ll. Copenhagen has much to offer tourists including world-class museums, royal palaces, and, of course, the landmark Tivoli Amusement Park.
Copenhagen's most recognizable symbol is the Little Mermaid from H.C. Anderson's fairytale. A statue of the Little Mermaid sits perched on a boulder alongside Copenhagen harbor. Everyday hundreds of tourists make the journey through splendid parks, gardens, and green areas surrounding the harbor to see the fable statue.
