Wonderful Copenhagen is a city of bridge-spanned canals,
copper-roofed buildings and manicured parks. This famous Baltic
seaport is one of Europe’s loveliest capitals and the seat of the
oldest monarchy in the world. Home to a quarter of Denmark’s
population, Copenhagen is a focus for commerce, culture, industry
and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Although Vikings and fishermen knew this site for years as Havn
(Harbor), the founding of Copenhagen dates from 1167, when the
warrior-bishop Absalon established a citadel here. As commerce
flourished, the name was changed to Køpmannæhafn (Merchants’
Harbor); in 1443 the city became capital of the Kingdom of
Denmark. A century later, Christian IV began the building program
that was the basis of the modern city; in 1669 Frederik III graced
the city with its first royal palace, Amalienborg, for his queen,
Sophie Amalie. Many of these structures still exist; the taller
ones remain the dominant features on what is a refreshingly low
skyline.
Copenhagen was attacked by Britain and Sweden between the 17th and
19th centuries; it was invaded by Germany in 1940 and occupied
until 1945. It has been a crossroads for northern Europe
throughout its history.
Visitors to Copenhagen are impressed by the magnitude of
attractions that await. The locale of Hans Christian Andersen’s
enchanting tale of The Little Mermaid, Copenhagen is known as
Denmark’s fairy-tale city. Its impressive theaters, museums and
churches are of interest to many visitors; the best-loved
attractions include the world-famous Tivoli Gardens, the
Langelinie Harbor with its Little Mermaid statue and the busy
shopping promenade known as Strøget. Shopping and dining
opportunities are endless. Tours of the Tuborg and Carlsberg
Breweries as well as the Royal Copenhagen china factory are
equally popular with visitors. It’s an easy city to get around.
You are unlikely to need to venture far from the central section,
where most of the activity and sights are contained.
Please Note: Guests in transit to the following cruise may check
with the Tour Office on board for sightseeing options. Guests on
Silversea's Pre- or Post-Cruise program may check with the
Silversea Hospitality Desk at the hotel for sightseeing
possibilities, dining and shopping information during their stay
in Copenhagen.
