Top things about Denmark
While Copenhagen is the cultural and historical centre of Denmark, the country is home to several pleasant cities such as Odense, where the writer Hans Christian Andersen was born, and Aarhus with its friendly café culture and lively nightlife. Outside of the cities, Denmark is a great country for sports enthusiasts, no matter what time of year they travel there; in the summer, the lack of hills makes it an ideal area to explore by bicycle, while in the winter cross-country skiing is popular with both locals and visitors. It is easy to take a day trip across to Sweden, while there are plenty of family-friendly attractions throughout the country such as the original LEGOLAND in Billund, and the Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen.
Best cities to visit in Denmark
The capital city is Copenhagen, and this is where most tourists start and finish their visits to Denmark, and it is also where most of the major attractions in the country can be found. The city offers many family-oriented attractions including the Copenhagen Zoo, as well as cultural attractions including the Copenhagen Contemporary Art Centre. The famous “Little Mermaid" statue stands on the edge of Copenhagen Harbour. One of the best ways to see the city is to take a boat trip around Copenhagen's intricate network of canals.
Denmark Hotels
Most of the famous-name chain hotels in Denmark are represented in the larger cities, including Copenhagen and Odense, and cater to both business and holiday travellers. However, there are cheap options available. Tourists on a budget can always stick to the hostels and locally-owned boutique hotels in the larger cities if they want to save some money and be close to all the attractions. Besides these Denmark hotels, there is a selection of quaint bed and breakfasts and guesthouses to be found in the more rural areas of the country.
