Copenhagen ( København ) is the capital of Denmark.

Its current name is a distorted version of the original one from which it derives. The original name of the city was Kjøbmandehavn, that means "Merchants'harbor".
Copenhagen is located on the island of Zealand and it's the biggest city in the whole Scandinavia: the city is separated from Sweden by the Øresund strait that is just 4km wide at it's narrowest point, but the two countries have been connected the the year 2000 with the Øresund bridge, a two-track rail and four-lane road bridge across the strait.

Now reaching Malmö by car or train takes approximately 20 minutes and is a very scenic trip that you shouldn't miss if you happen to visit Copenhagen or Malmö.

Copenhagen counts around 1.9 millions of inhabitants but the number reaches 2.8 millions if we consider all the Øresund area. This zone spreads from the eastern part of the island of Zealand to the western Scania (southern Sweden).

The population of Copenhagen, thanks to the past and present immigration, is composed by people of every culture and origin and this is what makes Copenhagen a very particular place like no others.

Copenhagen is universally recognized as one of the best cities in the world as far as it regards life quality, when you get there you'll understand why: there's a general positive attitude and feeling all over the city. The Danes are very proud of their nation.

The cost of living is similar to the other big european cities.
