Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is a clean, safe, and highly walkable city with a population of around 800,000 in the metro area. Danish is the official language, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. The local currency is the Danish Krone (DKK), though major credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are easy to find throughout the city. Copenhagen has a temperate oceanic climate, with mild summers (average 17–22°C / 63–72°F) and chilly winters (0–5°C / 32–41°F). Cruise ships typically dock at Ocean Quay (Oceankaj)—the main terminal for large vessels—or Langelinie Pier, both within a 10–20 minute drive of the city center. Transportation options are excellent, including taxis, buses, metro, and bike rentals; in fact, Copenhagen is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, with over 390 km (240 miles) of dedicated bike lanes. The city is known for its efficient infrastructure, low crime rate, and eco-conscious lifestyle. Public restrooms, free Wi-Fi (especially at the port and tourist hubs), and tourist information centers are available in key locations. The city center is compact, making it easy to explore top attractions on foot or by bicycle. The tap water is safe to drink, healthcare is reliable, and food safety standards are high. Copenhagen is also home to world-famous dining, design, and fashion, as well as unique cultural experiences like hygge—the Danish concept of cozy, relaxed living. With its excellent public services, sustainable mindset, and friendly locals, Copenhagen provides a comfortable, modern, and enriching environment for cruise passengers and other travelers alike.
