The Nordics

A staple of most-livable city lists, Copenhagen is surely also one of the most easiest and most enjoyable to visit. Saturday night fireworks at Tivoli Gardens, the amusement park opened in 1843, and the Little Mermaid, perched on her rock by the docks, are timeless attractions for guests of all ages, while the laid-back hippie commune of Christiana and the Viking Ship Museum, 35 minutes outside the city, are attractions you won’t find elsewhere. In the city’s kitchens, the creations of New Nordic chefs make Copenhagen’s restaurant scene one of the world’s hottest. <br /><br /><strong>Travel Tip:</strong> Lufthansa passengers departing from Copenhagen Airport’s Terminal 2 can take advantage of a range of shops offering the latest in Scandinavian fashion and design.
