Getting there Scandinavian Airlines, British Airways and easyJet operate daily flights from London airports. EasyJet has this month started flying from Gatwick on the route previously run by the now defunct Sterling. From Copenhagen airport it takes 15-20 minutes to reach the city centre, either via the efficient, driverless metro system or by train to the central railway station.

Business climate Copenhagen has a diverse business profile, with the main sectors being biotechnology and the health industries, while the IT and communication sectors are showing particularly strong growth. Transport and logistics business also thrive here due to the capital's central location in the Nordic region and an excellent infrastructure.

Don't miss Catch a glimpse of the Little Mermaid before this national treasure is moved to China to be a part of the Danish pavilion at the 2010 Expo in Shanghai. Take in Copenhagen's best views from the top of the Vor Frelsers church, where visitors can scale the outside of the church tower. Alternatively, join one of the canal boats to get a view of old Copenhagen from the many waterways or take a stroll around the beautiful Tivoli gardens.

Etiquette Danish people are relatively laidback and jovial—and that demeanour transfers to their business behaviour. Managers consult staff a lot and decisions are often made as a group, so expect meetings to linger. Danes speak English well—one-in-four companies list English as their primary business language.

Culture If you have enough time for a day trip catch the train to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art—one of the largest collections in Scandinavia—in Humlebaek to the north of Copenhagen. The museum features a sculpture park with panoramic vistas across Øresund. Alternatively, visit the Statens Museum for Kunst, the city's principal collection of visual art.

Where to stay The Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel, the largest hotel in Denmark, is a short walk from the city centre. All rooms have magnificent views. The hotel has four restaurants, including the acclaimed Dining Room on the top floor. The boutique Alexandra Hotel features Danish furniture and art as well as flat-screen TVs and internet.

Eat like a local The capital has a vibrant restaurant scene, and foodies are spoiled for choice. Domhuskaelderen, right in the centre, serves fantastic, traditional open sandwiches while the two Michelin-starred restaurant Noma offers fine Nordic dining. For lunch on the go, try a sausage from one of the hotdog vans scattered throughout the city.
