A city on the global stage

World Capital of Architecture. World’s most digital city. Capital of the world’s least corrupt country. Copenhagen continues to top global rankings – and it is easy to see why. 

The city is also an ideal setting for international congresses and conferences, with hundreds of restaurants and hotels and Bella Center just a few minutes away. 

Copenhagen is globally recognised for its expertise and innovation, especially in sectors such as life science, green energy and digitalisation. It is where research, advanced technology and ambitious sustainability goals meet – making Denmark a frontrunner on the global stage. 

Copenhagen – a safe choice

Copenhagen is a city where you feel at ease – and that is not just local opinion. The Economist Intelligence Unit has named it the safest city in the world, and in 2025 it was also declared the world’s best city to live in. 

The rankings are based on a wide range of indicators: from healthcare and infrastructure to education and culture – all of which contribute to the sense of safety and ease that define everyday life here. 

Close to everything

Copenhagen has the buzz of a capital – but the distances of a village. Whether you land at the nearby airport, hop on the metro or catch a bus or train, you are never far from where you need to be. 

The infrastructure makes it easy to get around, and cycling between districts, landmarks and meeting places is part of everyday life. It is this rare blend of cosmopolitan energy and accessibility that makes Copenhagen perfect for both hosting events and enjoying them. 

The green and blue city

Copenhagen is known for its parks and clean harbour waters – but sustainability here runs deeper. Over 70% of hotels are eco-certified, many venues offer green solutions, and organic food plays a key role in the city’s culinary profile. 

Nearly half of Copenhageners bike daily, and the city’s compact layout makes green mobility the easy choice – whether by metro, bus or bike. The ambition is clear: to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital. From urban development to food and event solutions, sustainable thinking is part of everyday life. 

Find your perfect place to stay

Copenhagen offers a wide range of hotels that make it easy to find the perfect place to relax and recharge. Whether you choose the vibrant city center, modern Ørestad, or green areas on Amager, you’ll enjoy high quality and comfortable surroundings for both work and rest.

Copenhagen on a plate

Copenhagen is a gastronomic capital where sustainability and innovation shape everything from street food to Michelin-starred dining. The city’s food scene ranges from classic open sandwiches to creative dishes, always focusing on quality and local ingredients. Whether in cozy courtyards or by the harbor, delicious experiences await. 

Copenhagen – a destination in a class of its own

Copenhagen draws guests from all over the world with its unique mix of culture, creativity and sustainability. It combines modern meeting facilities with iconic sights – and is known for its hospitality, cleanliness, food scene and historic charm.
