Have to say, having grown up there and moved away for uni, it's quite a nice city. I have friends and family across the globe, people that I knew growing up, and of all the places, Cph is probably one of the best:
- Town centre has everything in close proximity, and is walkable. It's reasonably dense too, so chances are you don't have to walk far.
- The lakes give the place breathing room that is unlike any other city. They're large but not like a river where there's very limited crossings. Eg by comparison London is very much cut in two by the Thames.
- There's a whole theme park right in the middle of town, you don't have a to do a whole day trip in a car to get to it. And there's another one just north of town, also easily accessed by train.
- Public transport works, even for kids. Can't stress how big a deal I've found this to be once I discovered it having moved to other cities. You can cycle in many, many places too, including as a kid. That mobility really means you can have quite a different social life to many other places. You don't need your parents to drive you everywhere, and you can do several things the same day.
- Yes, taxes are high. But if you're remote, how long do you really want to be there anyway? It's cold and dark in the winter. Summers are perfect, sun is out late but not too late, weather is warm but not oppressive.
- Everyone speaks English. Even kids.
