Denmark Travel Guide

Denmark is a country in Scandinavia. The main part of it is Jutland, a peninsula north of Germany, but also with a number of islands, including the two major ones, Zealand and Funen, in stersen Sea between Jutland and Sweden.

Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a major north European power, Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation that is participating in the general political and economic integration of Europe. However, the country has opted out of European Union's Maastricht Treaty, the European monetary system (EMU), and issues concerning certain internal affairs.

Denmark is also the birthplace of one of the world's most popular toys, Lego. There is no other better place in the world where one can buy Lego bricks than at the Legoland theme park in Billund. These days the Danish Vikings have parked their ships in the garage, and put the helmets on the shelves, and along with the other Scandinavian nations, have forged a society that is often seen as a benchmark of civilization; with progressive social policies, a commitment to free speech so strong it put the country at odds with much of the world during the 2006 cartoon crisis, a liberal social–welfare system and, according to The Economist, one the most commercially competitive. Top it off with a rich, well–preserved cultural heritage, and the Danes legendary sense of design and architecture, and you have one intriguing holiday destination.

Things to do

Denmark is a destination where there is something for everyone, whether you want to experience the countries culture, visit some of the many amusement parks or just relax on the beach.

Denmark is teeming with amusement parks, and indeed features some of the most famous in world; Copenhagen's Tivoli is one of the oldest of such parks in world, and by Walt Disney's own admission a major source of inspiration for his own Disneyland. Also in Copenhagen, nestled among majestic beech trees Dyrehavsbakken is the worlds oldest operating amusement park, and both of these parks features some of the oldest still operating rollercoasters in the world dating back to 1914 and 1932 respectively, and both receiving the ACE Coaster Classic Award. Just as famous is Legoland in Billund, the largest and the oldest of the now global franchise, with its spectacular miniature LEGO sceneries the star attraction, and a good selection of thrill rides to entertain kids. And while outshined by its world famous rivals, there are four other major amusement parks in the country: Sommerland Sjælland, Bonbonland, Fårup Sommerland, Djurs Sommerland, and a host of smaller ones.

With a 7400 kilometre coastline, almost the same as Brazil's and longer than India's, you are never far from a beach in Denmark. And each summer, particularly the west coast of Jutland, is subjected a veritable invasion of more than 13 million German tourists, usually in the many vacation homes dotting the coast from north to south.

Mainland Denmark has 3 world heritage sites; The Jelling rune stones date back to 900's have been called "Denmark's Birth Certificate", testamenting to Denmark's conversion the Christianity around that time, it was erected by what is considered the first official king of Denmark, Gorm The Old, whose son is buried in another of the sights, Roskilde Cathedral, the first Gothic church in Northern Europe build of brick, and the final resting place for most Danish kings and queens ever since. The third, and possibly most famous, is Kronborg castle in Elsinore, home of Shakespeare's Hamlet, prince of Denmark, but also an impressive castle in its own right, guarding the main route to the Baltic sea.

Denmark offers many opportunities for an active holiday. You have easy access to sailing and angling waters and more than 10,000 kilometres of signposted cycle routes, 140 plus golf courses and plenty of beautiful nature for brisk walks – just to mention a few of the options

Getting Around

Even the remotest parts of Denmark are linked by railways, and the train offers easy and comfortable transport between the regions. Combining the rail and bus services is also very simple, as your train ticket extends to your continued journey on a bus. The Danish coach and bus networks are extraordinarily extensive, and enable you to reach even the most remote corners of the country. To get from one end of the country to the other it is often quicker to hop on a coach than take the train, because the connection is usually more direct.

Nightlife

Danes love music from huge open–air festivals to small venues playing all kinds of music: jazz, blues, folk, salsa, pop and rock. If you want to explore Danish nightlife, chances are that you will be listening to live music. If you are looking to sample the Danish nightlife, there are also great options for taking in some live music at all the new bars, which often have a club culture or disco.
