Introducing Denmark

Perfect for city breaks or country retreats, Denmark has everything from historical sights to world-class dining, chic cities to rural charm. There are quaint cobbled squares, Viking ruins, medieval architecture and Renaissance castles dotted around the rolling countryside. In Copenhagen, you’ll find buzzing cafés and Michelin-starred restaurants, not to mention pretty canals and palatial buildings. And along the coast are beautiful stretches of sand in Jutland, Amager Strandpark and Zealand Island.
