有趣事实

Copenhagen has more bicycles (900,000+) than cars (700,000+), and 62% of residents commute to work or school by bike — the highest of any world city. The city aims to become the world's first carbon-neutral capital by 2025. The Øresund Bridge connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, is half-bridge, half-tunnel to avoid interfering with airport flight paths.
