Copenhagen: A Historic Trading Hub by the Øresund Shore

The city of Copenhagen, or København in Danish, has a rich history that is pre-historic in its origins, as a bustling trading town along the Øresund shore. It served as a vital hub during the Viking era and played a significant role during the peak of the Hanseatic League's reign over the Baltic territories. Its name, "the merchants' harbor," reflects its strong maritime heritage. Today, Copenhagen is a metropolis that blends its medieval origins with contemporary allure, making it a captivating destination. It boasts a remarkable architectural legacy, with many iconic landmarks that highlight its historical and cultural significance. The city's unique charm and beauty are evident in structures such as the Old Stock Exchange, the Round Tower, and Rosenborg Castle, which were constructed during the reign of King Christian IV (1588-1648).
