[Rainier Meadows]

Not much of a skyline - but check out the urban density! :eek:

4/10

[supercees]

I quite liked Copenhagen when I was there. Not much of a skyline but some nice old buildings are there for me, so I'll rate it 7.

[ANDRZEJ]

The city is very nice and looks really beautiful and clean. I like old gothic towers and wonderful brick architecture, and for it I 'll rate 10, but for the skyline which simply doesn't exist 3/10

[SUNNI]

dense but short. but nice
7

[X-seed 4000]

Normally I wouldn't call that a skyline with buildings.

Pro: Nice cathedrals :D

Con: hardly any buildings, short, hardly any buildings and short :D



3.0/10

[brunob]

CPH has little going as skyline goes, although i like the bell towers all over the city. Its little swedish neighbor Malmo will get a better one soon.
On a another note, it's a very pleasant city to spend a relaxing week-end at.
So 5/10

[Daniel8ty8]

Very dense and even. Usually with cities like that, there are some random high-rises in the background which ruin that effect. It doesn't look like that with Copenhagen...

7.0

[SteelCity32]

a few forumers would love to see this one.

Nice skyline for it's small size. 7.5/10

[messiah]

nice and modern city but not a real skyline

beauty: 8
skyline: 3
overall: 5,5

[Eddy]

What is that if not a skyline?
http://ismb01.cbs.dtu.dk/gifs/cphskyline.jpg

I think skyline doesn't necessarily mean skyscraperline. And this skyline is cool. Great, in fact.
8/10

[TropicalSQ744]

Nice churches there! However, the Copenhagen skyline is too sparse and lacks other types of buildings... :bash: :bleep:

I say 6/10

[weirdo]

not very dense but beutiful. 8/10

[Venezuelacom]

there are not so many tall buildings, but i love the density, and the architecture. 8/10

[The Messiah]

Looks like a nice city,but has almost no skyline.
4.0/10

[fox1]

it's pretty impressive.. i think. i say it's a 7 skyline.

[Chibcha2k]

8/10 those towers look great....kind of what gotham city skyline would be

[Fabio]

4/10


for the city 10 but the skyline..........uhmmmmmmm.

[SUNNI]

no skyscrapers...:(
5/10 for a good city:)

[Kaneda]

7/10 There is really no skycrapers, but I still like the skyline very much. The city is fillede with beautiful church spires, and a city has to have some of them, to have a really good skyline. :D

BTW, More pics:

4.5/10 not exactly a big skyline, but the church spires make up for the scrapers:)

[dumatod]

No skyline
No skyscrapers
Nothing really special and interesting
Just looks like any of eropean cities

1/10

[Kommentare]

5.5/10 :)

[ParraMan]

4.5

Beautiful city, however skyline lacks variety and height. That's actually a good thing, and I wouldn't want to be rating Kobenhavn higher than that.

Totally agree. Same is truth with Stockholm.

[Schroedinger's Cat]

Just great views !
I'll give 7.
No skyscrapers, but skyline is beautiful.

[uglyredbone]

[Beautiful city.

[Imperfect Ending]

4/10

Don't see a skyline.

[DiggerD21]

7/10

The skyline looks beautyful.
It reminds me of my Hometown.

How tall are the church towers?

[rayman]

3.5 ...why?? the answer is easy no skyscrapers nothing cool only church towers that dominates the skyline :sleepy:

[Kaneda]

The City hall tower is 106 m.
Christiansborg Tower is also 106 m.
Sct. Nikolaj church is 90 m.
Our Saviors church is 86 m.

I dont know about the Palace Hotel tower, but its also pretty tall. Its the one on Northstar77's last pic. :)

[DiggerD21]

I like the spire of the Vor Frelsers Kirke

[kota16]

I love Copenhagen, and the skyline is so romantic. I give it 8.5/10

[blue_warsaw]

i like the city, but we are skyline judging here so.. 6/10

[Paolo]

Very beautiful city with interesting skyline - 8/10
church&palaces towers are really charming

[SoboleuS]

Almost no skyscrapers, but tall church towers create a really nice skyline. 6,5/10

[MattSal]

A very nice and historical city, but not much of a skyline. I give it a 5.5/10. :(

[Valia]

I like Copenhagen, and the blondes Denmark girls :D. Mainly by the small rivers and the islands. The modern architecture too is magnific, although isnt talls, but not Calrsberg building, is very ugly, sorry. And I like the new opera contrusted by a rich men. In addition it is Europe :) 10/10

[Nouvellecosse]

One of the things that make a good skyline is uniqueness. For a million+ industrialized, capital city, Copenhagen's skyline is very unique. Not to mention beautiful! 7.5

[xantarc]

1/10. European don't care about their skyline, especially English and Danish.

[AMS guy]

Copenhagen has a very special non-typical skyline. If you guys, who say that the city has no skyline, would come to Copenhagen with a ferry, you would see far from the distance that the city DOES HAVE a skyline.
Copenhagen has many churches with spires. It looks breath taking seen from a ferry.

[Nemo]

Nice old city-skyline, but also similar to a lot of other cities, like the north-German Hansae towns.

No significant higrise buildings at all.

[Pruim]

Not much highrise, 4/10 (and I don't think it needs any - very beautifull place)

[skipperBill]

nice. 4.5/10.

[LMCA1990]

10/10- i love copenhagen (and denmark of course) not only because it's where my family came from but i just think its the best that the nordic/scandinavian countries have to offer.

[whatever...]

i guess it's hard for people from other side of Atlantic to understand where is the true value - in a glassy newly built tower or a church that is 3 times older than their country and had survived the history that would be hard for them yanks to understand... 9/10 from me, one of the better historical skylines in Europe

[WANCH]

Copenhagen doesn't have much of a skyline so I'll rate it a 3. But the city itself deverses a 9.5 :)

[montesky]

funny
3/10

[pon]

Looks a peaceful city to live in. :)

[Nout]

Never been here, but looks as a nice city. But no skyscrapers at all.

I miss pictures from the suburbs you can see far away from the centre on some photos. Not that those buildings will be nice, but for sure it will look urban.

To those who think this isn't dense, the city has 503,700 people, in 34 square miles. (14,814.7 people per square mile)

Copenhagen is doing great battling personal automobile use.

4/10 FLAT skyline

[tigerboy]

ok, where is the skyline??? ;) But it`s a really nice city

Eddy a skyline dies not have to be tall. By definition every town/city has a skyline. Some are tall some are not.

My classic examply for this is Oxford, England. Oxford has no talls and thus would invite the question "where is the skyline ???". However its famous Dreaming Spires over its colleges and churches are among the most evocative and beautiful skylines I have ever seen. Simply beautiful

Oxford has a great skyline which happens to be a non skyscraper skyline. Copenhagen could be said to have the same. This at any rate is my view.

As a scraper skyline it is a 0.
As a skyline it is a 7.

[Benonie]

10/10- i love copenhagen (and denmark of course) not only because it's where my family came from but i just think its the best that the nordic/scandinavian countries have to offer.

My family doesn't come from Copenhagen, but you're right it's a very nice city in a very nice country.
The city with the best bicycle lanes in Europe!
Lots of culture, the most beautiful Library and Opera House I've ever seen. And a great, relaxing atmosphere. We've liked our stay there very much.

It doesn't have a skyscraperskyline, but I like the historical skyline with the spires.
9,5/10 for the city, and 8/10 for the skyline.

[Mr cph]

10/10 for its unique charm... looking forward to the future highrises in Ørestad and Nordhavn development zones. Protect the old city core.

[FloridaFuture]

6/10

[skyboi]

There is not much of skylines except for the spires from Churches , or Castles in most of the European Nations , so it's unfair to compare them with the modern skyline Cities nowaday around the world, they are just in a class of their own , beautiful and happily ever after from a story's book... I love 'em

[AMS guy]

In the category "historic skyline" 9/10.
Even in Europe only a few old cities can be proud of a skyline with so many spires.

[TVN]

Towers of capitalism or towers of historie and Kings and queens national power. Its still the same, only the time makes the diffience. Why should SkyscraberCity be a forum of capitalism?
Its about highrise and the citypower to build it.
8/10
We can "always" build new skyscrabers, but historie has all ready chosens its places.

7/10 for the city (dense and beautiful), hopefully 9/10 in 5-10 years, because of the 11-20 new towers (mini skyscraper) in Ørestad. The development in Nordhavn, Carlsberg city etc.

Check the Wikipedia article for some of the upcoming projects. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen#Copenhagen.27s_new_skyline)

[SRG]

Kind of interesting that it's only skyline is its churches. So take them for what they are, a skyline. 6/10

The city though gets an 11/10..

Gorgeous city and beautiful skyline. High rises don't belong in this city. To all those giving Denmark's capital such low scores don't know the definition of skyline. Skyline is defined as an outline (as of buildings or mountains) against the background of the sky. Copenhagen gets 9/10 from me.
