Copenhagen Airport (CPH)
City Orientation and Maps

(Copenhagen, Denmark)

Copenhagen is the biggest of all the cities in Scandinavia and is known locally as 'København'. The city is a particularly lively spot and despite its overall size and sprawl, Copenhagen features many attractive areas, with mainly low-rise buildings and architecture. Copenhagen's skyline is dominated by a mixture of old and new, including a number of prominent local churches.

Denmark's capital city for around 600 years, Copenhagen has grown dramatically over the years. The arrival of Copenhagen Airport (CPH) in 1925, on the island of Amager, heralded the city's expansion plans and although initially only a small, private airport, by the mid-20th century, more than one million passengers were passing through the gates. At this time, Copenhagen Airport won a prestigious award, ranking it as the best airport in the whole world.
