Yes, foreigners call our cities many strange things:-)
K�benhavn is called K�penhamn, Copenhagen, Kobenhagen, Copenhague,
and many more. Helsing�r is called Elsinore.
Well, �lborg is sometimes spelled �lborg, but the official spelling, as
defined by zip and postal addresses is 9100 Aalborg, and the kommune is called
Aalborg kommune, viz www.aalborg.dk .
�rhus is however almost always spelled �rhus in Danish.
