Copenhagen is a city that loves culture and modernity and fully expresses this attitude through its museums, cultural venues, exhibitions, and art events.
The capital of Denmark, located on the east coast of the Zealand island, and the Swedish city of Malmö on the opposite side of the Øresund strait are separated by only a few kilometers. And possibly because of its long history of relationships with other people and nationalities, Copenhagen is traditionally tolerant and open to foreign cultures and ideas. A positive attitude we can also see in all the museums and events – in the city, in its region (Region Hovedstaden, known in English-speaking countries as the Capital Region of Denmark), and across the whole of eastern Denmark – that celebrate the encounter between Danish and international arts, the union of architecture and nature, and an enduring curiosity for different civilizations.
Our suggestion: if you have time, rent a car or use the very efficient Danish public transport network to go a few miles out of Copenhagen’s central area to visit some of the beautiful museums located on the city’s outskirts; furthermore, many of them are among the most iconic examples of modern and contemporary architecture in Europe.
