It's obligatory, really to see the Little Mermaid statue but there's so much to this delightful city that you really only need to glance at it before heading off to the next attraction. Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia and Denmark's capital and spiritual centrepoint - but the city bears the responsibility with an effortless grace and impeccable Nordic style. It doesn't take a sophisticated appreciation of the arts to realise that Copenhagen is genuinely and perennially beautiful. There are canals, lakes, parks, castles, palaces and sensitively formed bridges.If you haven't thought of Copenhagen for the perfect city break, prepare to think again.Although there are a few hotels around the airport and in the suburbs, the vast majority of the 80 or so hotels in Copenhagen are within the city itself. Given the size of Copenhagen, this is perfect in terms of access to the places you might want to visit - you're unlikely to feel that anything is really too far away. You'll be kept busy, too - Copenhagen has over 50 museums of all sorts, and they're just for starters. Weather permitting, and sometimes it does, outdoor activities alone can keep you entertained for almost your entire trip. And when the day is at an end the lively, friendly nightlife is enough to keep anyone occupied.
