Is Denmark worth visiting?
Denmark is definitely worth visiting. It’s home to century-old castles, a rich Viking heritage, and a stunning architecture that blends history with modern designs. It’s such a safe, clean and welcoming country, family-friendly, with activities for everyone, from trendy shops and coffee places to amusement parks like Legoland, an idyllic countryside and over 400 islands to explore.
Which part of Denmark should I visit?
Copenhagen, the capital, is a must. Stay at one of our hotels in Copenhagen city centre and discover the rococo style Amalienborg Palace, where the royal family currently resides; the Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park over a century and a half old, or the iconic statue of the Little Mermaid, one of the most photographed corners of the continent. These are just some of the many landmarks Copenhagen has to offer.
But also, from our hotels in Denmark, and thanks to the country’s accessible size, you may visit other places of great interest, like Odense, Andersen’s native city, with his house now converted into a museum; or the Kronborg castle, in neighbouring Helsingør, the setting of the timeless play Hamlet and designated as World Heritage, or the impressive cliffs of Helligdomsklipperne in the Bornholm island.
Other landmarks in Denmark that you can’t miss include the Legoland themed park, in Billund, near the original factory; the open-air Aarhus museum, with typical artefacts coming from different corners of the country or the Skagen beaches which inspired its own artistic movement and is known for having a church buried in the sand.
What is the best month to visit Denmark?
The best months to visit Denmark are from May to September. In summer you will get the warmest months with long daylight hours. The temperature will be ideal for cycling, sightseeing and visiting some coastal towns.
Nonetheless, Copenhagen also shines during Christmas. Magic comes in the form of Christmas markets, the Tivoli Gardens are as pretty as ever, and even thought the weather might be cold, the festive spirit and all the holiday treats such as mulled wine (gløgg) or roasted almonds will keep you warm.
What are the major holidays and festivals celebrated in Denmark?
Apart from Christmas, another major holiday in the country is Sankt Hans, more precisely, Saint John’s Eve.

If you are looking for what to see in Denmark, this is a fun family activity to witness.
Fastelavn, the Danish carnival, is also a relevant event for Danish people. Kids dress up and eat Fastelavnsboller, delicious cream-filled buns. Another celebration you should look out for is the Roskilde Festival, one of Europe’s biggest music festivals. All profits go to humanitarian and cultural causes and attracts over 130.000 attendees.
What are Denmark’s most famous dishes?
Denmark’s most popular dishes include the open-faced sandwiches, smørrebrød; the national dish which consists of fried pork with parsley sauce, stegt flæsk med persillesovs; and pan-fried meatballs, frikadeller.
