Denmark Insider Information

• Denmark’s capital is a popular tourist destination. Copenhagen is small enough to walk around and large enough to host a multitude of attractions. If you feel like a break from the sightseeing-shopping-museum circuit, take a stroll in one the parks or gardens. Popular with locals is the King’s Garden near Rosenberg Castle. The gardens are huge and stunning; the castle itself is surrounded by a moat, inhabited by ducks.
• You could spend a happy couple of weeks exploring North Jutland and its main town, Aalborg. The area has wonderful stretches of beaches with dunes and stunning countryside consisting of hills and forests. Aalborg is quaint and charming, though it has enough of a buzz about it to keep most urbanites happy. The city is especially picturesque during the winter in the run up to Christmas. The Christmas Market is famous throughout Denmark and it starts good and early, on November 25.
• Aarhus is the second-largest city in the country, situated on the east coast of Jutland. It has an “old world charm,” with winding cobbled streets and gabled houses. The city is surrounded by woods on one side and the coast on the other. It’s a great location for walking – explore the woodland, the old town and take a stroll along the beach.
• Roskilde is famous for two things – its Viking ships and the summer music festival. The Viking Ship Museum contains the remains of five ships. It is open 10am-5pm daily and admission is free to under-17s. The Roskilde Music festival was started in 1971 and is the second biggest in Europe (to Glastonbury in the UK). Its popularity has grown immensely with foreigners in the past decade – book tickets early.
• The statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen may be the first thing tourists on the trail of Hans Christian Andersen visit. However, it is Odense on the island of Funen, that was home to the author. Visit the house in which he was born, now the Hans Christian Andersen Museum, take a guided city tour or visit the Tinderbox, a learning center for children all about the fairy stories.
