Copenhagen Living

Copenhagen is lively and charming and has once again been voted among the top cities in the world to live. It is ranked third on the Monocle Magazine ‘Most Liveable Cities’ list for 2011 and fifth on the ‘Best Cities’ list, which is compiled by the renowned consultancy William M. Mercer*. These are some of the reasons that Copenhagen consistently gets a high ranking:
  • Safety and security: Copenhagen has one of the lowest crime rates in the world 
  • Green City: Copenhagen is world renowned for leading the sustainability agenda in transportation, energy, waste management and other aspects of city development
  • Biking Culture: More than a third of the population commutes to work/school by bicycle and there are more than 390km of designated bicycle lanes around the city
  • Efficient Public Transport: The city’s Metro has been awarded the best Metro in the world prize
  • The World’s Best Restaurants: Copenhagen is home to ten restaurants that have been awarded Michelin; good news for the culinary explorer
