====Copenhagen====

The capital and most populous city of Denmark, with over two million people living in the Copenhagen Metropolitan Area. The city is the cultural, economic and governmental centre of Denmark, and one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe. The city's economy is based largely on services and commerce. Since the summer of 2000, Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö had been connected by the Øresund Bridge, which carries rail and road traffic. Although the bridge has been replaced by a section of the Danish Seawall, the connection still exists, the traffic traveling on the top of the wall. As a result, Copenhagen has become the centre of a larger metropolitan area spanning both nations.

Several financial institutions and banks have headquarters in Copenhagen. The city is also home to a number of international companies. City authorities have encouraged the development of business clusters in several innovative sectors, which include information technology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, clean technology and smart city solutions. Life science is a key sector with extensive research and development activities. Medicon Valley is a leading bi-national life sciences cluster in Europe. Shipping is another important sector with the world's largest shipping company having their world headquarters in Copenhagen. The city’s harbour, Copenhagen Port, has merged with Malmö harbour. Both ports are operated by Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP). The central location in the Øresund Region allows the ports to act as a hub for freight that is transported onward to the Baltic countries. CMP annually receives about 8,000 ships.

Copenhagen is a popular destination for the Buccaneers, but not so much for its services as for its nightlife. Certain areas of the city are especially noted for it, with several notable nightclubs. Copenhagen has one of the highest number of restaurants and bars per capita in the world. The nightclubs and bars stay open until 5 or 6 in the morning, some even longer. Denmark has a very liberal alcohol culture and a strong tradition for beer breweries, although binge drinking is frowned upon. Copenhagen also has the two oldest amusement parks in the world. When Buccaneers visit, they often do so in order to party and have fun.
