Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

Located close to the Gefionspringvandet fountain and St Alban's Church this park really needs to be better known, particularly by anyone interested in the history of World War 2. Situated at the edge of the park are two busts mounted on plinths of famous Danish men who fought with the allies during this conflict. The first is Wing Commander and Lieutenant Colonel Kay Birksted who fought with the Royal Air Force, commanding the Norwegian Squadron. As well as being awarded medals by both the Danish and Norwegian Governments he was also awarded the DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross), DSO (Distinguished Service Order) and OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) by the Government of the United Kingdom. The second person commemorated is one of these truly larger than life characters that one rarely comes across. Major Anders Frederik Emil Victor Schau Lassen who joined the British Commandos in 1940 and eventually ended up as a temporary Major in the Special Boat Section of the Special Air Service. During the war he was awared the Military Cross three times i.e. his MC came with Two Bars, and then in April 1945, at the age of 24, his bravery won him a posthumous Victoria Cross. He was therefore the only non-Commonwealth recipient of the British Victoria Cross in the Second World War. It is fitting therefore that these brave men are commemorated in Churchillparken.
