Copenhagen is a very old town more than 800 hundred years ago Bishop Absalon was given the area by the king as a present. He build a castle on an islet at the cost and provided this tiny fishermans settlement "Harbour" with a fortication.

Since then Copenhagen has wittnessed a grat deal. The Kings settled in the town. The Danish King Christian IV expanded the town and made Copenhagen a "real" capital with castles. Both wars and fires have ravage the town and new neigbourhoods were built.

When the town opened up around 1850 and the rampars were demolished, Copenhagen quickly grew out of the old surround. Where the rampars were before, we today have Town Hall Square, also roads and parks including Tivoli. But the town still grows and changes. New neighbourhoods develop where industry priviously occupied the space, among other places along the Harbour front.

Today Copenhagen is a beautiful old town. Unlike many other capitals, we only have very few high-rise buildings.

Going for a stroll through the streets and old squares of the town, you will always be in touch with the wheater, the sky and the light.
