Description
Copenhagen is a wonderful, engaging city and the gateway to numerous historic and cultural sites. On one hand, Denmark has a conservative society with strongly held values and beliefs; on the other hand, they are home to Christiania and other divergent behavior. As the world's oldest monarchy, modern Denmark is also a democracy and a welfare state, characterized by social equality and a high standard of living.
