You are in the Heart of Copenhagen

Imagine a city where mornings begin with the scent of freshly baked Danish pastries, days unfold among royal palaces and scenic canals, and evenings end beneath the warm glow of lanterns along Nyhavn. Here, it’s easy to believe the Little Mermaid is real, and LEGO was born not from plastic, but from childhood dreams.
