Sail with DFDS Seaways to see "vibrant" Copenhagen

National tourism agency VisitDenmark has described Copenhagen as "Europe's most vibrant city".

Travellers can reach Copenhagen by sailing from Harwich to Esbjerg with DFDS Seaways and driving on to the capital.

Copenhagen, which was recently named Europe's leading cruise destination at the 2008 World Travel Awards, boasts attractions including Amalienborg Palace, home of Queen Margarethe II.

From the palace courtyard, visitors can enjoy a view across the water of the new Royal Opera House, a venue that hosts music and ballet performances throughout the year.

Tourists may also be interested in heading to the Nyhavn part of the city and setting off on a 50-minute canal sightseeing tour that takes in the picturesque Christianshavn area, the parliament building and the old stock exchange.

People who want to extend their trip from Copenhagen and see what the other cities in the region have to offer can take advantage of the network of ferry crossings throughout Scandinavia.

DFDS Seaways sails from Copenhagen to Oslo in Norway, while Stena Line offers ferry services from the Danish port of Grenaa to Varberg in Sweden.
