46 COPENHAGEN

The capital of Denmark, named as one of the best countries for business in the world by Forbes, has a cool and active startup scene. The Danes have a long history of making waves in the global tech community through the creation of major programming languages. Since its founding, Copenhagen has endured attacks from Wendish pirates, British ships, Nazi tanks, and Swedish mercenaries. These days, the main invaders are tourists: approximately nine million visited in 2014. It is now one of the happiest cities and the best places to live in the world.
