Holiday Rentals Denmark Strolling through the vibrant, cosmopolitan cities of Denmark and exploring the quaint Danish villages and fairytale castles that stud the impressive countryside like gems, one may find it difficult to imagine that this country was the launching pad for Viking invasions that swept across a large part of the European continent.
Today, these friendly, unassuming and downright charming people are really one of the high points to visiting Denmark, although the natural scenery and historic attractions will also compete for a place on your list of “things I love about Denmark”.
Start your exploration in Copenhagen, the bustling port city illuminated at night by millions of sparkling Christmas lights. Here groups of young, laughing locals fill up the streets, walking down promenades with arms interlocked (eight or more to a row at times!) populating the sleek, brightly lit shopping districts, the Bohemian cafés, the bars and nightclubs, the art galleries, the concert halls... With its strong tradition of international trade, Copenhagen means culture.
When in Copenhagen, visit the Tivoli Gardens, a destination hugely popular among tourists because, despite its classification as an “amusement park”, it is so much more than a homogenized Disneyland rip-off – rather, the Tivoli Gardens, which date back to the mid-19th century, epitomize the abundance and charm of traditional Danish entertainment culture, with a modern day appeal. Numerous open-air stages, fireworks shows, walkways illuminated by Chinese lanterns, dozens of restaurants offering a veritable schmorgesbord of delightful Danish cuisine, and many other sights and sounds simply mesmerize you, as they do the millions of tourists who visit the Tivoli Gardens every year.
Outside of Copenhagen, enjoy the natural beauty of Denmark that has mesmerized visitors for centuries. One of the most enchanting landscapes can be found in the northerly archipelago of Svendborg. Visit the Valdemars Slot, a picturesque castle. Learn about the rich seafaring history of this destination at the Sofartssamlingerne i Troense Maritime Museum.
The summer months provide warmth and beauty, and a number of water sports. Although many will find the temperatures brisk all year round, yachting is one of the most beloved active pursuits on the Danish waterways. Cycling through the verdant countryside is also highly popular among visitors and locals alike. Charming hotels, Bed & breakfasts, and apartment rentals make for a wonderful way to experience Danish comfort and hospitality. Enjoy your stay! |
