Tourist Information for Denmark
Denmark is a friendly country, easy to reach from the U.K. with the added
advantage that almost everyone speaks English. Unless you're into mountaineering
there's something for everyone.
The west coast is very family friendly, with excellent beaches and lovely
islands to explore. Windsurfing is very popular.
Inland, the southern half of Jutland is largely agricultural, whilst towards the
north the scenery becomes progressively wilder. This is a land of water,
dominated by lakes and the sea. The northern tip, Skagen, is well-known for its
rugged beauty. Here the North Sea meets the Baltic in a spectacular display of
wild water.
In between, right in the centre, there are the popular attractions of Legoland
and the Lion Park Safari park, and the many small villages have retained a
picture-postcard prettiness, with old houses, churches and inns. Or visit the
gentle country and seaside areas around Kerteminde or Ebeltoft.
And then there's Copenhagen, a lively modern city, full of museums, galleries,
bars, restaurants and theatres. For a taste of how amusement parks used to be
(with some modern scary rides thrown in!) visit the magical Tivoli Gardens.
Although there's plenty to do, it's a very laid-back city, with a friendly and
unthreatening feel. And the citizens of the other Danish cities, such as Arhus
and Odense, would claim that they can hold their own in terms of attractions and
a genuine welcome.
Finally, bicycles are everywhere, and almost every road has a cycle track
running alongside. Add to this the lack of major hills, and Denmark is a great
country for cycling, although due to the lack of hedges in the countryside it
can be very windy.
