Travel Tips For Denmark
Consisting of the Jutland peninsula and over 400 islands, Denmark is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries. Renowned as a land of peace and harmony, it is difficult to imagine Denmark once produced the brutal, seafaring Vikings.
Travelers will find a variety of delights to explore in Denmark. With its scenic villages, castles, ring forts, and monuments, sandy beaches, coves and fjords, Denmark is a place of striking beauty. The best time to visit is August, although anytime April through October, there is nice weather.
Founded in 1167, and located on the islands of Zealand and Amager, the capital of Denmark is Copenhagen. Known as the city of copper roofs and spires, Copenhagen enchants travelers with everything from the Little Mermaid at the harbor entrance, to its cobblestoned streets. The city is a treasure trove of old buildings, parks, gardens, fountains and squares, not to mention the world famous amusement park, Tivoli, which is open from late April to mid-September. On top of that, tourists will find a plethora of excellent eateries and shopping opportunities, and to help tourists get around the city, there is an inexpensive train network.
Organized tours of the city consist of the Vikingland Tour, which takes you to the Viking Ship Museum, and the Royal Tour to the Christianborg Palace, to name just a few. There are also travel tours to the famous Carlsberg brewery.
As fascinating as Copenhagen is, Denmark does offer many delights beyond its capital. There is the biggest Viking burial ground, as well as the most extensive Renaissance buildings in Denmark, both located at Aalborg. In addition, Århus has a collection of over sixty 17th and 18th century buildings, taken from all over the country and recreated, then set on a beautiful landscaped site.
Then, of course, Funen is a must-see. Known as the 'Garden of Denmark', it offers some of Denmark's most appealing countryside. In addition, visitors can enjoy historic castles, churches and manor houses, set in longstanding parks and gardens. Named after the Norse god, Oden, Odense is the main city of Funen, and the third largest city in Denmark. Odense has been called the 'Capital of Fairytales', and is probably best known as the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). Every July and August, Odense has a festival celebrating the works of Hans Christian Andersen, where visitors can tour his childhood home and the Hans Christian Andersen Museum. Funen's newest attraction is the Naturama, which opened up in 2005. This amazing museum has three levels of multimedia and natural history displays.
Knuthenborg Park is well worth the trip to Lolland. This is Denmark's largest park, and it has over 500 species of trees, flowers and plants, and also contains a safari park. In Bornholm, tourists will find Hammershus. Built in 1260, it is Denmark's largest castle ruin. Another tourist highlight is Elsinore. This is where the old fortress of Kronborg is located. The setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet is considered one of the most imposing structures in Scandinavia.
