The Danish capital has long been hailed for its eco efforts and hosting events to help build lasting legacies. Now, the city wants to keep pushing the boundaries as a leading location for sports ready to show sustainable responsibility.
“We say that life is easy in Copenhagen,” says Lars Vallentin, senior manager of events at Wonderful Copenhagen, the official tourism organisation of the capital region of Denmark.
“It’s easy to get here, it’s easy to get around in the city. Then, once you’re here, we suggest you get on your bicycle. We cycle because that’s what we do, we’ve always been on the bicycle. It’s clean, it’s fast and it’s good for you.”
Denmark and its capital city have never been shy to champion conviviality and wellbeing. Referred to as ‘hygge’, this collective word for cosiness and contentment of the soul remains a core part of Danish culture. Ultimately, it is about atmosphere and experience, rather than things.
