A city in Denmark, Copenhagen is a city full of charm. Located on the eastern coast of Denmark’s biggest island called Zealand, Copenhagen is Scandinavia’s largest city and has been Denmark’s capital for over six centuries.
The city is full of picturesque narrow streets, old houses and canals. A walk along the streets of Copenhagen during the early hours of the morning will fill you up with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread. Unlike other cities, this one is not structured into single purpose districts.
Bicycles are a popular choice of transport in this city and it is quite apparent when you consider that the city has on offer over 2,000 bikes for travelers at around 150 racks. The entire process is made simpler by a coin deposit mechanism, which unlocks the bike rack. Your deposit is refunded when you return the bicycle.
