It was first mentioned in history in the 11th century.  Its excellent harbour propelled it to the position of a medieval commercial centre.  It became the capital of Denmark in the 15th century.

Copenhagen is famous as a Scandinavian city with lots of greenery, an abundance of waterways and canals, an extensive network of bicycle lanes and neat Scandinavian architecture. The oldest district is Middelalderbyen, the Medieval City. However, most of the important tourist sights are at Frederiksstaden. Among the tourist attractions there include the Amalienborg Palace and the Marble Church. Slotsholmen is a small island that is also part of central Copenhagen, together with Christianshavn, another district on an artificial island.

Amalienborg, the royal couple's winter residence, is a major architectural work and probably the most outstanding piece of Rococo architecture in Denmark. Amalienborg comprises four externally uniform (but internally different) palaces encircling an octagonal courtyard, in the middle of which has been erected an equestrian statue of Frederik V – the founder of the Amalienborg Palace complex and the Frederiksstad. The statue is known as "Europe's most beautiful statue" and attracts many tourists.The palace guards' changing ceremony at noon every day is also popular, always attracts many tourists.

Today, the public can visit two of Amalienborg's palaces (mansions): Christian VIII's Palace, which has been partly turned into a museum of the Glücksburg dynasty; and Christian VII's Palace, which is used by the Queen to receive and entertain guests, but which is occasionally open for guided tours or special exhibitions.

The bedroom is less than 10 square meters, simply with a bed, a table, and a chair, some manuscripts on the table.

Andersen lived in this narrow space for decades, suffering from loneliness for love, but with his pen he built a colorful world, a hopeful better world for people. It is hard to imagine, what inspired him to have such a broad imagination, what gave him so rich inner world, what gave him such a great soul.
