Situated on several islands, including Zealand, Slotsholmen and Amager, Copenhagen is a bustling capital that is, thanks to its charming people, uniquely intimate. This former fishing village has become an international center for art, culture, finance, and politics. Copenhagen is a fairly condensed city that is best seen on foot or bike. Strøget is the main hub, offering entertainment, dining, shopping, as well as lively street parties. The artsy Christiania district - allegedly founded by hippies - is full of interesting galleries, cafés, and bazaars. Other points of interest include Rosenborg Castle, home of the crown jewels; Tivoli, an amusement park built in the 1840's; Rundetårn, the round tower offering a great view of the old city; and Statens Museum, which boasts an impressive collection of art and history. Stop by Carlsberg Brewery to wash it all down and for a guided tour.
