Copenaghen
Copenhagen, literally "port of the merchants", is the capital of Denmark and one of the country's most densely populated cities. Originally a city mainly inhabited by fishermen, it became a fundamentally important port for trade.
Copenhagen is a year-round tourist destination and in summer the flow of tourists increases considerably thanks to Northern Europe cruises.
It is very common to add a stay in the city before a cruise, to take in its distinguishing relaxing atmosphere and see what it has to offer. Among its famous attractions you cannot miss the statue of the Mermaid which is located right at the entrance to the port and the Tivoli Gardens, one of the world's largest amusement parks, opened in 1843 and loved by everyone.
Copenhagen (København in Danish and 'Copenaga' in Italian [no source]) is the capital and the most populous city of Denmark with 518,574 inhabitants in the municipality (1,167,569 in the urban area). The city stretches across the islands of Sjælland and Amager and is separated from the city of Malmö in Sweden by the strait of Øresund.
Flam
Flaam is a small town with about 500 inhabitants. It is part of the municipality of Aurland, the typical example of a rural Norwegian municipality.
Flam is a good starting point for all those looking for authentic natural and cultural experiences.
Despite its small size, Flaam continues to be a destination throughout the year. The Flåmsbana is undoubtedly the most famous attraction in Flaam. This spectacular railway connects Flaam with the city of Myrdal.
What makes the station so amazing is largely the combination of the height difference of 863.5 meters. Every year, about 585,000 travelers experience traveling on one of the steepest railway lines in the world on normal tracks.
