Founded in the 12th century, Copenhagen has been the capital of Denmark since 1416. Its present splendor owes much to Christian IV, a great admirer of the Renaissance. He had many of the buildings and castles you’ll see while cycling around the city constructed in the 17th century. From the 19th century, Copenhagen established itself as a major cultural center, finally becoming a pioneering city in terms of urbanism and quality of life. In total, the city has 33 stars in the Michelin guide – an excellent start to any gastronomic exploration. A gourmet exploration of the Scandinavian capital of haute cuisine is a must. ...
