Copenhagen - Named the world's best city to visit in 2019 by Lonely Planet
Every year, the popular travel guide, Lonely Planet, publishes a list of the world's 10 best cities to travel to. We at DFDS have known for several years that "it is wonderful to be a Norwegian in Denmark", so it came as no surprise that Copenhagen came in first place on this list in 2019.
The "Capital of Cool" has now become an abbreviation for Copenhagen. Although the name was invented by Lonely Planet, it is a perfect description of Denmark's beautiful and hip capital. All travel enthusiasts who want to explore the ultimate cool city should take a trip to Copenhagen- The Capital of Cool.
