      Why Choose a Stopover in Copenhagen?

      Why wait at the airport when you could be walking the cobbled streets of Copenhagen, sipping coffee by the canal or taking in the view from a historic amusement park?

      During your stopover, take the opportunity to explore the best of Danish culture. Wander through Nyhavn, the city’s famous harbor lined with brightly colored buildings and lively cafés. Or spend a few magical hours at Tivoli Gardens, one of the world’s oldest amusement parks, where you’ll find charming rides, gardens and gourmet food.
