“There is no shame coming second, particularly when phase two of your new metro is about to go live, your airport is a joy, you can bike safely through the city and you have so many stunning residents.”

According to the international magazine, MONOCLE, Copenhagen is the second best place to live in the world – only topped by Munich, Germany. MONOCLE metrics rate cities on their liveability in terms of public transport, crime rates, education, medical care, tolerance, drinking and shopping, green space, access to nature, and environmental initiatives.
