A country well known for its high quality of life and the concept of ‘hygge’, the concept of cosy living, Denmark holidays are packed with nature, history, culture and cuisine. The smallest Scandinavian country, split across two islands and a spit that attaches it to mainland Europe, Denmark doesn’t boast the epic landscapes of Norway and Sweden. What it does have, however, is charming countryside dotted with timeless villages, fairytale castles and Viking ruins, small and chic cities, and a wonderful warm and laidback ambience that makes it a delight to explore. The sweeping coastlines, on the North and Baltics seas, harbour a strong maritime legacy and white sandy beaches that have been called ‘Europe’s best kept secret’.
Considered a cultural powerhouse, it is easy to immerse yourself in Danish culture in its compact cities and excellent museums. Copenhagen, the elegant capital, is well-known for its impeccable design and architecture that ranges from ancient castles to experimental office blocks. It is here that you can really enjoy Denmark’s foodie credentials (the city has 21 Michelin-starred restaurants) and some of its most famous attractions – the beautiful old centre, the National Museum and Tivoli World, one of the world’s oldest amusement parks.
