More About Denmark

The Kingdom of Denmark is the smallest of the five nations in the Nordic region and is located on the Jutland peninsula. This is a fascinating country steeped in history which makes it a great place for holidaymakers looking for something a little different to their usual sun and sea vacation. The capital of Copenhagen is an absolute treat - packed with shops, cosy cafes and some of the best restaurants in Scandinavia. There are many classic must-sees here including Nyhavn which is very pretty and hosts an amazing Christmas Market each year, Tivoli Gardens which is a world-class amusement park with lots of eateries, the imposing Rosenborg Castle and the Christiansborg Palace which is home to amazing halls, huge paintings, shimmering chandeliers and much much more. For a total change of pace, visit Aarhus where you‘ll find an abundance of beaches, forests and national parks. This historic city is small but has an iconic harbour, sandy coastline, the Old Town Open Air Museum and the extensive Aarhus Botanical Gardens. There are 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites to explore including the dramatic white cliffs at Stevns Klint, Kronborg Castle, Wadden Sea National Park and historic Christiansfeld. Getting around is easy if you hire a car as Denmark has an excellent road network. There's also a good train service plus offshore islands are well serviced by ferryboats. Foodwise, you're in for a treat with sumptuous Nordic cooking, open sandwiches, delicious herring dishes, tasty rye bread and mouthwatering layer cakes and pastries.
