The Danes are a pretty sophisticated bunch, and responsible for far more that we consider stylish than any population of just 5.5 million has any right to be. Copenhagen is the natural choice of destination to start appreciating this characteristic cool – few capitals sum up their nation quite as well as this compact coastal city. But, make no mistake, there’s much more to uncover on Denmark holidays. Take, for instance, the northern coastal town of Skagen, with its wind-swept dunes and stellar seafood restaurants. Or the idyllic island of Lolland, which boats charming hamlets, extensive hiking and biking trails, and pristine sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Then there’s the city of Odense, birthplace of storytelling legend Hans Christian Andersen. Denmark holidays are also great for anyone interested in Viking history. Some of the star attractions include the Viking King’s Hall in Roskilde (the largest Viking Hall in the country) and the Viking Ship Museum in Copenhagen. Let the Scandi sightseeing begin...

Travel to Denmark by region

Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a place completely at ease with itself and which offers the weekender serious gourmet dining, shopping for cutting edge designer goods, excellent nightlife and, particularly in mid-winter, an all-enveloping sense of hygge - a word that's difficult enough to pronounce ('hooga', is a good approximation), let alone define, but easiest explained as 'cosiness'. Hygge evolved as a mechanism to help the locals cope with the dark winter months and while you may not be able to put your finger on it, hygge will be all around, in candle-lit restaurants and snug subterranean bars, making the whole city even more alluring in winter.
