Denmark Holiday Guide
Beautiful European Holidays

Denmark Holidays Planner

You can spend days in Copenhagen – in summer, you can swim in the harbour pool and soak up the sunshine in pavement cafes. Year-round activities include the impressive royal palaces and Europe's longest pedestrian thoroughfare, the Stroget, where you can shop for high-quality souvenirs. The Tivoli Gardens in the capital are also a must. Younger visitors will love the roller coaster and assorted other rides, and the park also features a concert hall where you can see both classical and contemporary artists. Outside of Copenhagen, the biggest attraction in the country is Legoland, which is instantly appealing to anyone who has spent any time playing with the little colourful bricks – don't go mad in the shop without checking your luggage allowance first!

Denmark is fairly easy to break down into regions. Jutland is on the mainland has Denmark's beautiful Lake District, while the de-facto capital, Aarhus, has some excellent museums. Funen is and green and lush, and its capital Odense is where Hans Christian Andersen was born – reread his fairytales before you go, so you can appreciate his birthplace and the associated garden when you're there. Zealand has many of the country's fascinating historical sights, including the Viking boat museum in Roskilde and the Trellebourg fortess. Bornholm also has Viking and medieval sights, and Danes visit this rocky island for its beaches and beer.
