The wonderful harbour city of Copenhagen is a great starting point for your journey of discovery through Denmark. It’s also perfect for a weekend holiday. This is the city of the Little Mermaid and it is famed for its colourful harbour buildings, lush green parks, palaces, and exceptional museums. Wander around the centuries-old Nyhavn and enjoy a snack and a drink in one of the cosy restaurants, cafés and bars. No visit to Copenhagen is complete without a visit to Christiansborg Palace. This palace, located on a tiny island, continues to be used to this day and sometimes doubles as a workplace for the Prime Minister of Denmark. If you’re in the mood for shopping, browse the shops on Copenhagen’s longest and best shopping street, Strøget,where you’ll find some great boutiques.
If you love nature and beautiful landscapes, you won’t know where to look first in Denmark. In the Jutland region for instance, you’ll find Denmark’s first National Park, Thy. Here you can enjoy peace and quiet on the banks of the tranquil lakes and delight at the sounds of beautiful birdsong. In addition to the park, you’ll also find lots of lakes, forests and marshes. If you’re going on holiday with the kids or if you’d like to go on a wonderful cycling or hiking tour, then the Zealand region is the perfect destination for you. This region combines splendid nature with wonderful beaches. Make your journey of discovery to Denmark complete by visiting the islands of Funen, Bornholm and Møn.
If you also love good food, you’ll love Denmark, as it has many traditional and gourmet dishes. The country’s best known food is Smørrebrød, a sandwich made from rye bread with meat, fish, cheese and sauces. Denmark is surrounded by the sea, so there’s no shortage of fresh fish. If you’d rather eat meat, try flæskesteg, a traditional dish of roast pork with a crunchy crust that is prepared using bay leaves. For desert, round off your meal with sweet treats such as traditional Danish ice cream with all the toppings. Enjoy your meal!
