Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, sits on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager. It’s linked to Malmo in southern Sweden by the Öresund Bridge. Founded in the 10th century as a Viking fishing village, it has evolved into a major city in the following centuries, marked by significant events like the completion of its iconic town hall in 1905, the serious damages it endured during World War II, and the rapid urban development in the 21st century. Today, it is known for its historic landmarks, modern architecture, and a high quality of life.
