Copenhagen

Season 5 Episode 510 | 25m 04s

Denmark’s capital is the most fun-loving in Scandinavia. As we get to know Copenhagen, we’ll discover reminders of its Viking history and see reflections today of its proudly independent ways. We’ll stroll down Europe’s first great pedestrian boulevard, ogle crown jewels in the palace treasury, and take a bike ride through a hippie squatter community, finishing at Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens.

Aired: 10/03/08
Distributed nationally by American Public Television
