Copenhagen is a city full of fairy tales (童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have a street for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.

Walking along the river banks, you'll see the Amalienborg Palace first. The king's family is living there.

Churches and castles show us the original (最初的) city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445.But fires in 1728 and 1795 completely destroyed (摧毁) the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today dates back to (追溯到) the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Keep going, and you'll see the Christiansborg Palace. The town of Copenhagen began there. Then you will see Nyhavn (尼哈芬),a waterway, which was dug in 1673.When you see it, you'll understand why Hans Christian Andersen made this beautiful waterway his home. Nyhavn is a peaceful and wonderful place. You'll usually see some rich people walk along here.

If you walk there, you can enjoy the old trees, the colourful lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.
