Split between the beautiful islands Amager and Zealand, Copenhagen is one of Europe’s oldest and most attractive cities. It is no surprise more and more people visit the city all year round and the number of serviced apartments in Copenhagen is growing.
There’s always a decision to make when it comes to choosing the perfect long term apartment for a business trip. But what is it about serviced apartments in Copenhagen that make them the place to stay during a visit to the city, in comparison to other alternatives?
Unlike standard hotels, high-quality serviced apartments in Copenhagen city centre grant guests access to fully-equipped kitchens, spacious living rooms, ample space to work and dine freely, and Wi-Fi. Ultimately, Situ’s Copenhagen apartments make it easy for guests to work and live how they choose, all for a reasonable price per night.
The range of Copenhagen serviced apartments on offer surpass the expectations that come with staying in holiday rentals, instead making corporates feel as if they can return to their very own home away from home after a long day of doing business in the heart of Copenhagen.
Copenhagen is easily Denmark’s largest city. It is the country’s capital and has a population of almost 800,000 people. The city is located in far-eastern Denmark on the islands of Amager and Zealand and connects to the Swedish city Malmo via the Öresund Bridge. The E6 and E20 are the European roads that connect both Denmark and Sweden across this bridge.
Copenhagen is certainly not Europe’s largest city, though, covering no more than 90 square kilometres. Regardless, the city’s size does not deter corporates and tourists from visiting the city. Around nine million people make the trip to Copenhagen every year, and it is projected that this figure will double in the coming decade.
It is easy to reach Denmark and the capital city thanks to the transport infrastructure. There are a few train stations dotted across the city but the Central Station is the largest in Denmark and supports the travel of thousands of people every day to international destinations such as Stockholm and Hamburg.
There’s plenty of high quality expat and corporate housing in Copenhagen near the Central Station and the Kastrup Airport, the largest international airport in Denmark. It is also the largest airport across the Nordic countries and is third busiest in Europe. Naturally, with over 30 million people utilising Kastrup Airport each year, it offers the easiest way to reach the Danish capital from overseas.
Living and working in Copenhagen means gaining access to a competitive and promising business climate. Throughout the twenty-first century, the Danish capital has continued to rank amongst the easiest places in Europe to do business.
This is thanks to a low company and corporate tax; which averages below European levels; very competitive business costs, and the city’s continued ability to be amongst the ‘globe’s most liveable’ and a hub for world-leading research and innovation.
Business events are common in the city too, particularly at Scandinavia's second largest conference venue, the Bella Center. Copenhagen also belongs to the Nordic region, which is not only one of the wealthiest in the world as it’s GDP per capita continues to rise, but also has access to a consumer market of 100 million people across Northern Europe. After all, the city has earned the nickname; the ‘Gate to the Baltic’.
As much as the present is encouraging economically, financially, and in terms of business, it is the future that is being built in Copenhagen that makes international businesses want to locate themselves here. The region has some of Europe’s best universities and leads the way across several industries and areas of research. For instance, Copenhagen is known for its amazing Telecom infrastructure, biotechnological products, pharmaceuticals, and its role in biomedicine, computer science, and environmental technology.

There is just no place in Denmark that encapsulates the country’s culture, traditions, and way of life quite like the capital city of Copenhagen.
Small enough to cycle across, yet big enough to be full of ideas. This beautiful city dates back to the 11th century, yet the Copenhagen of today started to truly take root in the first half of the 19th century during the Danish Golden Age. Amalienborg Palace shows the history of the Danish Royal family from around this time, while Christiansborg Palace is home to the Danish Parliament.
Expats can head out of their Copenhagen serviced apartments and spend some time down at the Nyhavn, one of the more popular points of interest. This old dock area dates back centuries and was once home to Hans Christian Andersen, the famous Danish author. This is an excellent area to find a bite to eat, with a selection of restaurants, some offering familiar menus while others are a bit more individual.
If you have young ones to entertain during your stay, perhaps try Tivoli Gardens. More than an amusement park, Tivoli Gardens was founded in 1843 and was a favourite of Walt Disney when he came, with thousands of lights creating a magical experience at night, while there are rides that cater to the nostalgic park-goer, as well as the thrill seeker.
All in all, the Danish capital has much to offer and stands proud as one of the most liveable cities in the world – no wonder there are so many options for expat housing in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen Airport, which is also known as ‘Kastrup’ is based just a fifteen minute drive southeast of the capital’s city centre and its range of serviced apartments in Copenhagen. It is within walking distance of the Oresund Bridge which connects to Malmo in Sweden around 15 miles away.
Covering around five square miles, this is Scandinavia’s main international airport and support the travel of millions of people every year, of which around 80% of them are international and arrive or depart for other European airports outside of Denmark.
The Metro is an invaluable part of the public transport infrastructure in Copenhagen, fuelling the travel of thousands of locals and tourists alike every day. The network is made up of four lines, spanning from M1 to M4. Each of these lines is in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and have trains reaching stations no longer than every five minutes!
A great way to plan your route and understand more about the Metro schedule in the city is to visit the Copenhagen Metro website. There you can find an interactive map that includes information on all the lines and stations that make up the Metro.
Copenhagen buses are split into those that operate across the inner city, and those that operate outside the Copenhagen city centre. It is the ‘A’ buses that support bus travel in the centre of the city, whilst the S buses operate across the outer neighbourhood areas.
Both services run at least 20 hours a day and a rapid rate, even throughout the city rush hour. There are several Night bus routes too (marked with an ‘N’) that run between 1 am and 5 am.
