Don't know why, but in this days I'm thinking I want to leave Italy, and my favourite destination is Copenhagen (maybe this site made me choose this city http://www.copenhagencyclechic.c… ). I obviously never was there. Could some one:
- Try to convince me to move/not to move
- Give me the name of some web agency in the city

use "filter" search for "the agency list" might be a few there.

Hey there sir, well, I dont know, unfortunately, of any web agencies here :(
But I can definitely tell you, that depending on your personality, Copenhagen is just brilliant. Its a very modern and charming city, with many options in the nightlife and a great mix of people. Very multi-cultural.And yes, having a car here its really not ideal, two friends of mine that came from abroad and had a car, drove with their cars back to their countries and started to rely heavily on bikes.
If you are like me, and dont like/ dont know how to ride a bike, the public transportation here is very good too. There is many options to go around, including metro, S-trains and buses everywhere.
Language shouldnt be that big of an issue here either, since Copenhagen is so international, you can see that many places already display the two options of language (English and Danish) available.
But as a traveler myself, I would recommend staying around 2-3 weeks here first, and check places around, see how you adapt in here. And if you like it, bring all your stuff and settle in :)
There is so much to describe into this website, that you could only experience it yourself.

And also, keep in mind you will need a good salary to stay cool in Copenhagen, this is one of the most expensive cities in Europe, and you can already tell by ordering a simple coffee and all that.
Earning a bit more than 30.000 DKK is what I would consider a good salary to live alright in Copenhagen, not with a lot of luxury, but being able to go out, buy clothes and etc.
Also, search about the taxes you pay here in Denmark, its one of the highest in the world.... but you get a lot back, free health care and all that.
- Free Healthcare? It's not free you're paying high taxes. People have lost touch with reality.FredMcWoozy
- well, yeah, public health care, that is really good, comparing to other countries and all that.Fabricio
- In Italy we pay around 40% in taxes, and Healthcare is not completely free, public transportation sucks and Prime Minister got a master degree in corruption :)taxiguerrilla
- ... Minister got a master degree in corruption :)taxiguerrilla
- yeah brotha, then you know what i am talking about :) same thing goes to Brazil...Fabricio
- Hence I dont mind paying the taxes here at all!Fabricio
- public healthcare is good also cause their is no insurance company how's internees only $$$ and not your healthakrokdesign
- who's (not how's) :-) ...writes tooooooooo fast.akrokdesign

Hi
i am half denmarkian.

Currently in Copenhagen right now to install an exhibition. It seems to rain a lot during late autumn / early winter. From my very brief time here the people seem lovely. Food and living are incredibly expensive, but I'm sure locals on my income level have found ways to deal. Everyone speaks english, or at least enough for me to get by. I rented a bike and that's brought everything within reach. Very considered typography, buildings, etc.
This is the piece I'm installing :

http://kunsthalcharlottenborg.dk…- This seems super cool Stewdio, i will be there :)Fabricio
- Awesome! Come up and say hi. I'm this guy: http://stewdio.org/w…stewdio

I'm from Copenhagen - so ask away :)
I grew up there, but moved to the US in 1999 (my wife is American, which is why I moved there).
There are many many many things to love about Copenhagen. In my opinion, it has the perfect size for a city - big enough to be on par with the latest metropolitan advances around the world, yet not too big, where the traffic and congestion of people gets overwhelming and unbearable. There's a rich history of regarding culturally enriching elements (art, design, architecture... etc.) very highly, so there are endless options to experience anything you can imagine on that front.Although I haven't lived there in more than 10 years, I still go there at least once a year (to see family and friends) and my company is also functioning in close partnership with a studio there (www.DyhrHagen.com), so I'd like to think I still a fairly decent idea of what the city has to offer in this regard.
On the 'con' side, it's an expensive place to live (I'm sure you already know this). Taxes are astronomical, and the weather is about as exciting as week old cup of noodles.
But, the fact that there are literally oodles of naturally beautiful blondes, who generally are fairly liberal sexually (Denmark was the first country to legalize porn, you know), tends to make you not worry so much about a little drizzle.

Ciao...I live in Copenhagen, but want to move to Italy – The food and weather is better and we don't have "siesta" here!

I've visited there many times, and as Super_Black suggests, there are "oodles of naturally beautiful blondes, who generally are fairly liberal sexually..." (and sunbathe topless in summer).
What I don't understand is, why did you marry an American woman then? Copenhagen girls are gorgeous.
I loved my visits there, and would consider living there if not for the cost. Lovely, vibrant, city. Can't wait to go back.- Hehehe... not sure, bro. I guess love is weird like that sometimes, right?Super_Black
