Velkommen!<\/em> WindEurope is back again in the Danish capital – here’s a handy guide to help you while you’re there!<\/h2>\r\n

This year, WindEurope\u2019s Annual Event<\/strong> takes place in the spiritual home of wind power, and a modern-day renewables powerhouse \u2013 the Danish capital of Copenhagen. By all accounts the Danes are pioneers in all things green. If you\u2019re not biking around on the city\u2019s excellent network of cycle lanes, you can take one of many electric taxis or its world-class driverless metro system. And as you travel around you can easily spot some of the nearby offshore wind turbines helping to power this sustainable urban centre.<\/p>\r\n

Copenhagen easily earns its green credentials, but by every other metric this is a great city to visit. A trip to Copenhagen is a trip to one of Europe\u2019s most historic, picturesque, livable cities, packed with character and activities to satisfy all tastes. As you set out from the Bella Center<\/a>, here are some things to whet your appetite for this year\u2019s wind industry destination \u2013 Copenhagen.<\/p>\r\n

A future-minded country with a long history<\/h2>\r\n

As you take a walk through the centre of Copenhagen, the cobbled streets, mercantile buildings and grand royal residences all give you a sense of the age of this place. This is the heart of one of Europe\u2019s oldest monarchies, and a commercial and economic hub stretching back all the way to the Viking Age nearly a thousand years ago.<\/p>\r\n

If history is what you\u2019re after, it\u2019s here in abundance. Check out the long list of museums <\/a>and historic royal attractions<\/a> you can find dotted all over the city.<\/p>\r\n

A waterfront city<\/h2>\r\n

Copenhagen is very much a maritime centre, and sits at the meeting point of two seas, where the Baltic enters the Atlantic. Some of the city\u2019s main attractions and streets lie right at the water\u2019s edge. There\u2019s no getting away from it \u2013 this is a city built on, and very much shaped by water.<\/p>\r\n

Nowadays, the harbour is very much at the heart of city life. Canal tours snake their way up and down the waterfront all year round, giving you a view of the city you won\u2019t get on foot. There\u2019s also plenty of watersports to be had \u2013 kayaking, rowing, stand-up paddling, and even some nearby beaches to head to for a swim.<\/p>\r\n

Gastronomic delights<\/h2>\r\n

Copenhagen is home to no fewer than 15 Michelin star restaurants, and while it mightn\u2019t traditionally be regarded as a culinary destination, the gastronomic scene<\/a> here is a huge part of the city experience. For the past 20 years, Copenhagen has been at the vanguard of new Nordic cuisine. Some of the restaurant names here have entered the top rankings worldwide. And the dining scene caters to all sorts of tastes and budgets \u2013 whatever you\u2019re after.<\/p>\r\n

On your walkabout you\u2019ll find plenty of street food markets if you\u2019d like to sample a quick bite. Not to mention a great nightlife and a range of bustling bars for anyone looking to try out Denmark\u2019s world-renowned beers and brews.<\/p>\r\n

Sustainable slopes<\/h2>\r\n

The city might be taking great strides in all things renewable, but there\u2019s more than one way to get your head around this while you\u2019re there. The CopenHill<\/a> is one very real way to immerse yourself, from pretty high up (in a city that\u2019s otherwise completely flat).<\/p>\r\n

This state-of-the-art waste-to-energy facility, opened in the city harbour, has an artificial ski slope on top of it for the winter months, and a recreational hiking area open all year round. It\u2019s a bit of a steep climb, but worth it for the panoramic views \u2013 and for the scale of this country\u2019s green ambitions!<\/p>\r\n
