Copenhagen, Denmark
Bikeenhagen
"Where Even the Bicycles Have Bicycles"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a cargo bike rampant, laden with three children and a week's groceries, above a foaming tankard priced absurdly beyond reach. The crest features Nyhavn's colourful townhouses crossed with a 'no cars beyond this point' sign, all beneath a motto scroll reading 'Hygge, But Make It Expensive'.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"Beautiful city but I nearly died three times trying to cross the bike lanes before I even got to a road. The Little Mermaid statue is smaller than my carry-on suitcase and there were about 200 tourists fighting for a photo with her. Nyhavn is gorgeous at sunset but a beer costs more than my flight from Stansted. Still, the pastries redeemed the whole trip, would return with better insurance."— Gary Fenwick, Doncaster
Property Listing
Stunning canal-adjacent living in the world's most liveable city, where your morning commute is a serene glide past pastel townhouses and your evening entertainment is watching tourists fall into the harbour trying to photograph a mermaid statue. Comes with mandatory cargo bike and a mortgage that will make you nostalgic for renting.
Twinned With
Portland — Both cities believe a bicycle and a beard can solve any urban planning problem.
