A visit to Copenhagen is guaranteed to enchant all ages with its fairytale history and olde worlde charm.

Copenhagen city breaks will uncover a colourful history dating back to the Vikings and boasts a wealth of museums and galleries. The true symbol of the city is the charming statue of the Little Mermaid which can be seen basking in front of the harbour and is a must see during a leisurely cruise along the waterfront. The Danish capital is filled with royal palaces such as ornate Princes Palace which houses the National Museum and Christiansborg Palace, a dreamy romantic stately home that could easily have come from the imagination of Hans Christian Andersen himself.
