Denmark

Where Happiness Reigns Supreme

Denmark consistently ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world, and a visit here will quickly reveal why. This charming Scandinavian nation offers a delightful blend of historic cities, Viking heritage, stunning coastlines, and a design-conscious culture.

A Vibrant Capital

Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is a must-visit. Cycle along the picturesque canals, marvel at the colourful Nyhavn waterfront, or explore the Tivoli Gardens, a whimsical amusement park dating back to the 1840s. For a taste of history, visit the Kronborg Castle, the inspiration for Shakespeare's Hamlet.

A Fairytale Landscape

Denmark boasts a dramatic coastline dotted with charming towns and idyllic beaches. Rent a bike and explore the rolling hills and sandy shores of Northern Jutland. Visit the island of Funen, home to the picturesque town of Odense, birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. For a unique experience, take a ferry to the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its incredible tidal flats and birdlife.

Denmark's Viking past is ever-present. Explore the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, housing remarkably well-preserved Viking ships unearthed from nearby fjords. Learn about Viking life and mythology at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, or visit the impressive Jelling Monuments, giant rune stones erected by a Viking king in the 10th century.
