Inside Copenhagen, The Eco Capital of the World

Danes are often said to be the happiest people in the world, and Copenhagen among the world’s most livable cities.

But even more than that, this incredibly green city surrounded by water and parks is renowned as the most environmentally friendly capital city in the world. In fact, Copenhagen aims to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital by 2025.

Copenhagen has many green oases and open spaces with fresh air, some of the cleanest water you’ll ever find, an excellent and efficient infrastructure and a strong culture of riding bicycles and eating organic food. Youthful, refined and green, it’s perhaps the dream city of anyone devoted to ecology and sustainable living.

Copenhagen is a gloriously attractive city too, with its unique architecture, maze of cobbled streets and ancient churches, palaces and government buildings. There’s that fabulous functional yet elegant Danish design that reflects everywhere you look, from metro stations to schools and even hairdresser shops.

When eating out in Copenhagen, there are plenty of options. The city’s food-scene is making international waves lately with the unique flavors created by Copenhagen’s many climate-friendly and organic restaurants and Michelin-starred restaurants, including Geranium – the world’s only all-organic restaurant with three Michelin stars and Noma, which is spearheading the recent reinvention of Nordic cuisine.
