Copenhagen is a unique cultural hub. The City of Spires, nicknamed for its mix of medieval and Renaissance architecture, is known for its minimalist approach to fashion, beauty, and décor. Much like other Scandinavian cities (Oslo, Norway, included), Copenhagen is full of sleek and efficient aesthetics, often dialed up with a dash of eye-catching experimentalism. In other words, it’s an undeniably cool and less-is-more locale.
