City Overview

Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital — a city of bikes and design, with Nyhavn and the Little Mermaid as landmarks, consistently among the world’s most livable and happiest cities. Life sciences (Medicon Valley), green tech, shipping (Maersk) and design lead, with world-leading carbon-neutral goals. Bike commuting is the norm (over half), it is very safe with an extremely high quality of life, and housing costs are among the Nordics’ highest — Denmark’s economic, cultural and innovation center.
