Copenhagen, the Danish capital is renowned for its art, culture, cuisine, design and engineering and is one of the best cities in the world in terms of quality of life, innovation and art. From a 15th century Viking fishing village to the modern day megacity of Denmark, the Danish capital has come a long way. The process of urbanisation and development started way back in the 17th century under the reign of King Christian IV. Monarchy is still present in the country which opted for democracy as a means of running the country. Some of the cultural heritages are renowned worldwide including the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. The Copenhagen Stock Exchange is one of the major financial hubs of Europe and the country also has rich maritime history. The devastating Second World War saw Copenhagen under German occupation but the valiant civilians and the highly-practical local government managed to save the country’s rich cultural heritage.
