In 1989, Copenhagen wrote world history being the first city in the world allowing registered same-sex partnerships. In 2010, same-sex couples were given the right to adopt on an equal footing with heterosexual couples, in 2012, it became legal to get married in the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, and in 2019, a new law was passed by the City of Copenhagen to ensure future work towards securing all Copenhageners equal opportunities regardless of sexuality, gender identity or gender expression.
Copenhagen is a tolerant capital with plenty of room for differences. Dive into an abundance of delicious gastronomic hubs, amazing museums, inclusive urban spaces or simply enjoy the great atmosphere. Copenhagen is yours to explore.
Copenhagen is the perfect mix of old, half-timbered houses, renaissance splendour, beautiful green parks, open spaces, and contemporary architecture. Walk the old cobblestone streets in the city and feel the presence of history around every corner. The many castles bear witness to the city being the home of kings and queens for centuries. The Danish Monarchy, a constitutional one since 1849, is still in function and one of the oldest in the world today. Enjoy a visit to Rosenborg Castle, Christiansborg Palace and Amalienborg Palace, where the royal family resides in the city, and spend time in some of the city’s many history museums to learn more about Denmark and Copenhagen.
