Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and was originally a Viking fishing village established in the 10th century.

Copenhagen was the first capital city of any country in the world to introduce registered same sex partnerships in 1989. Copenhagen is therefore considered a very gay friendly city.

As the Danes are very open minded many of the popular bars and clubs are considered gay friendly or mixed. The LGBTQ neighbourhood is considered to be Studiestræde but the other places are within a short walk of this street.

Copenhagen Pride is the gay pride festival taking place every year in August.
