Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark, situated on the islands of Zealand and Amager. It is a major regional center of culture, business, media, and science.

Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life and it is also considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities with the water in the inner harbor being so clean that it can be used for swimming and 36% of all citizens commuting to work by bicycle, every day bicycling a total of 1.1 million km.

Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen drew much inspiration for his fairytale world from the city of Copenhagen, where he penned "The Little Mermaid."
