Planning a trip to Denmark? Well, here are some places worth visiting.
Denmark is one of the northern states of
Europe and is located where the "Nordic countries" begin. This
charming region, from which the brave Vikings, Leggo games, and some of the
most beautiful children's stories in the world originated, offers first-rate
attractions and beautiful sights. Apart from these facts, Denmark is known for
its fascinating history and spectacular views, which will make their mark on
your heart and make you want to pack a suitcase to visit them. You are invited
to discover one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and explore some of
its magnificent cities, which testify to its history, lifestyle and all the
good that can be found in it.
We should start in the amazing capital of
Denmark, as it has been chosen as one of the best cities in the world to live
in, and this can be seen through its green gardens and clear harbor waters
where you can easily swim without fear. Among the attractions you’ll see in
this vibrant city are the Tivoli Gardens, where you’ll find a charming and
romantic Luna-Park from the middle of the 19th century and the little mermaid
sculpture at the port of Langelinie. In addition, there are many museums and
galleries, and Michelin-star restaurants - for the refined among us.
The city of Herning is considered to be a
central and vibrant arena of art and culture, with many exhibitions held here
throughout the year. In addition to museums and cultural events, you can visit
Baboon City and enjoy fun attractions for children, which will put even you in
a good mood, or go to the city zoo. The city is known for its large number of
bars and restaurants, so it's no wonder it's one of those cities where visitors
enjoy returning to again and again.
Close to a beautiful harbor, full of polished
yachts alongside old fishing boats, the town of Svendborg is located on a
charming fjord, also the gateway to the archipelago of Denmark's third largest
island - Finn Island. The city combines old and new, and in its modern areas
you can see picturesque cafes and restaurants that offer tasty and varied food,
as well as quiet cycling trails; In addition to this, you can enjoy beautiful
clean beaches, which are usually very popular in the summer, from which you can
take a cruise to the nearby islands. After all, Svendborg is one of the quieter
cities where you should spend a little more time if you’re looking for some
peace.
Less than an hour's drive from Copenhagen
lies the city of Helsingor which sits on the Swedish border. This medieval town
whose main attraction is the Kronborg Castle is without a doubt a quiet and
amazing pearl that must not be missed. A tour of the picturesque streets of the
city, among the old houses, is a delightful and relaxing experience that seems
to be another world far from the busy shopping streets in its other areas.
Apart from the old castle, you can visit the nearby Danish Maritime Museum and
take a ferry ride from Helsingor to Helsingborg, Sweden, which is the busiest
ferry route in the world with about 70 departures in each direction every day.
Surrounded by the narrow path of the Alssund
Strait, Sonderborg is a historic place with a modern feel and the home of the
Sonderborg Castle which sits in its center. The castle is a national Danish
symbol and its rooms, as well as some of the houses surrounding the castle,
serve as a museum and offer contemporary exhibitions about the changing history
of the region. Due to the proximity of the town to the border with Flensburg in
Germany, masses of Danes and Germans pass through it when traveling to other
destinations in both countries.
Esbjerg is a relatively new and rich city
whose economy is based on oil, fishing, and commerce; As opposed to ancient and
historic places in Denmark, this area is considered more modern. Although you
won’t see old sites and ancient fortresses here, there are still attractions
that you won’t want to miss: theater halls which seat more than 1,100 people;
The Museum of the Lighthouse and the Esbjerg Museum, where you can see 3 major
exhibits showing local artifacts, including reproductions from the Iron Age and
Vikings, as well as hundreds of objects that trace the long history of the
country's west coast.
The city of Roskilde is known for its famous
rock festival which began in 1971 and continues until today, in June-July each
year. This important event is considered one of the largest festivals in Europe
and is attended by nearly 160,000 people at a time. But beyond the festival,
Roskilde has plenty to offer, ranging from skating parks to unique art and
design workshops, to a delightful museum of modern music located in a
post-industrial complex. In addition to the modern city, you can also visit the
old city with the impressive cathedral towers that overlook everything, and the
old port of Roskilde, where you can visit the Vikings Ship Museum.
The city of Skagen is situated at the meeting
point between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, its busy port is surrounded by
extensive beaches, which in summer are packed with masses of tourists and
locals. The city, which was first recorded in the late 13th century, was the
focus of many painters and artists who came to paint its desolate but charming
landscapes, which marked many hearts. In Skagen, you will find excellent
restaurants offering varied and delicious seafood, art galleries and many
museums. The place is also very popular among tourists who have visited it
before as it is a great pleasure to visit this city.
The following place is often considered part
of Copenhagen, but since Fredericksburg has no clear boundaries, it can be said
that it is a city within a city. Within this region, there are plenty of
specialty gourmet shops, picturesque cafes and fancy shopping venues; The city
of Frederiksberg is rich in historical and cultural exhibits, while its vast
park offers a wealth of romantic gardens, a labyrinth of shrubs, a Greek
temple, and a Chinese pavilion. But the real masterpiece is the Frederiksberg
Palace, which is designed in the Baroque style, where you can enjoy a modern glass
museum and other delicate displays.
With the newly restored beach in the heart of
the city, Aalborg is trying to rejuvenate and revitalize its recently neglected
industrial areas. In the renovated city you will find a well-kept beach which
is very pleasant to stroll around, as well as a 16th-century castle located
next to an ancient medieval town. Nearby is a Viking burial ground which
definitely warrants a visit, and if you are looking to go out at night, the
Aalborg hotel can be a great base from which to explore the surrounding area.
Odense is the birthplace of the famous
children's writer Hans Christian Andersen, many of whom grew up on his stories;
As such, there are many museums, sculptures, and attractions dedicated to his
literary works. Apart from the places dedicated to the famous writer, there are
also many other museums, art galleries and a charming zoo in this vibrant city,
which is also one of the oldest in Denmark. With a rich historical past of more
than 1,000 years, Odense has a village full of ancient buildings where you can
visit and learn about the city's past. In addition to this, the city is full of
green and peaceful parks throughout, as well as lively bars and cafes in
different styles.
Aarhus, founded by the Vikings, is the second
largest city in Denmark and also serves as the country's main port. This
amazing and large city is full of diverse attractions and a large number of
different architectural wonders, such as the theater building of the city and
the local museum. Over the course of the year, many festivals and events take
place in v, whose theme changes every year, as well as other cultural and
artistic performances, which are certainly an achievement for the local
residents to show off. In the picturesque city you will find shopping centers
and markets that must be visited, lively streets much more inviting than in
other European cities, and unique restaurants spread out throughout the city
which serve innovative local cuisine, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Cafes and bars
are favorite places of entertainment for the local population, which is mostly
made up of students who make the city a great place to live.
