Copenhagen Port Ferry Overview
Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark. Copenhagen is situated on the Islands of Zealand and Amager. Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life. From its humble origins as a fishing village to its heyday as the glittering capital of the Danish Empire, to its current position as one of the world's premier design capitals, the stories and characters of Copenhagen's history can be discovered in its sumptuous palaces, copper-roofed town houses and atmospheric cobbled squares.
