Guide to Denmark
Home to Legoland, Vikings, fairy tales, romantic castles and striking design, Denmark is a superb destination for family holidays, couples’ escapes or even solo adventures. Search for trolls, indulge in drømmekage (dream cake) and cycle through picturesque cobbled towns, while enjoying a famously friendly Danish welcome.
With thousands of miles of beautiful coastline, over 400 islands and even a desert - the Råbjerg Mile sand dune - there’s no shortage of spectacular landscapes to discover in Denmark.
Its capital, Copenhagen, is one of Europe’s cosiest capitals, with a charming blend of modern architecture and a historic old town. Here you can visit the ‘Little Mermaid’ statue - a tribute to one of Denmark’s most famous writers, Hans Christian Anderson - the Tivoli Gardens and Copenhagen’s lively neighbourhoods.
