The smallest Scandinavian country is indisputably big on style. Denmark’s ancient castles and medieval towns blend comfortably with its cosmopolitan cities and modern designs. The capital of Copenhagen is a largely pedestrian city, with inviting cafés, harbor-front promenades, fashion boutiques and a spirited nightlife. The city of Aalborg in North-Jutland is known for its art museum and numerous historic sights. And, the charming town of Odense is the birthplace and childhood home of famed storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.
Denmark shares its southern border with Germany, but the rest of the country is surrounded by the North and Baltic Seas… creating more than 4,500 miles of natural beaches and coastline. The famed white cliffs on the Island of Møn are a must-see for any visitor. The Baltic island of Bornholm to the east features dramatic rock cliffs, while its southern coast boasts silky white beaches. Zealand, the country’s largest island, is characterized by rolling hills, and the Søhøjland area of East Jutland is known for its many lakes.
Inland, hiking is a favorite way to discover the landscape. The Marguerite, or “Daisy,” Route forms a scenic course stretching a total of 2,170 miles through the Danish countryside. Another favorite is the Hærvejen Hiking Route—an historic road through Jutland that has been used in turn by cattle, armies and traveling merchants for 5,000 years. Similarly, cycling is a popular pastime for locals and tourists alike, with kilometers of established bike routes available.
Back in the capital city, Tivoli Gardens—an amusement park founded in 1843—is one of Denmark’s top attractions. The screaming 65-foot Dæmonen roller coaster provides a hefty adrenaline rush, as do the 206-foot Golden Tower free fall, and the Star Flyer… the world’s tallest carousel, at a heart-pounding height of 262 feet
