The capital of Denmark and one of the largest cities in Scandinavia, Copenhagen is a thriving cosmopolitan coastal town. This pretty city is made up of a number of districts that you can tour around with ease in your car hire. Its harbour is one of the cleanest urban waterfronts and features free pools for the public to swim in. The waterside Langelinie promenade is a popular walk as it features the famous The Little Mermaid statue. The historic centre of the city is a pretty area packed full attractions such as the Charlottenborg Palace, Thott Palace, the parliament building of Christiansborg, and the City Hall. The Nyhavn canal is also a great eating and drinking district, picture-book pretty with colouful 17th and 18th century houses. Copenhagen is a very green city, with the ambition that every resident is able to walk to a park or beach within 15 minutes, however some of the best parks and impressive buildings lie a little outside of the city and car hire is the easiest way to access these attractions.
