Culture & Heritage
Discover the rich history, art and traditions of Denmark
Denmark, the southernmost of the Nordic countries, is made up of the Jutland peninsula and more than 400 islands. It is a nation that combines a rich Viking and monarchical heritage with a global reputation as the birthplace of modern design, sustainability and the concept of 'hygge' or cozy happiness.
Festivals & Events
Copenhagen is the world capital of design. From the classics at the Designmuseum Danmark to masterpieces of modern architecture such as the Opera House, the Royal Library ('The Black Diamond') or the sustainable neighborhood of Ørestad. Bicycle culture is the best example of its people-centered urban design.
Follow in the footsteps of the Vikings at the Roskilde Museum, the Jelling rune stones (Denmark's 'birth certificate') or the Lindholm Høje cemetery. The royal legacy is explored at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen and the many castles dotted around the country.
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, north of Copenhagen, is a must-see, famous both for its collection and its spectacular integration into a seaside sculpture garden. In Aarhus, the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum stands out for the 'Your Rainbow Panorama' circular walkway on its rooftop.
Living 'Hygge' in first person
'Hygge' cannot be translated, but it can be felt. It is the feeling of warmth and well-being. It is experienced by lighting some candles, enjoying a hot coffee and a 'wienerbrød' in a cozy cafe, sharing a leisurely dinner with friends or simply reading a book under a blanket while it rains outside. Seeking and creating these moments is the quintessential Danish experience.
Explore Copenhagen by bike
The best way to see the Danish capital is the way the locals do: on two wheels. The city is incredibly flat and has an extensive network of cycle paths that make it safe and easy to get everywhere, from the iconic Little Mermaid statue and the colorful harbor of Nyhavn to alternative neighborhoods like Nørrebro or Vesterbro.
Go back in time at Tivoli Gardens
Visiting Tivoli, in the heart of Copenhagen, is much more than going to an amusement park. Opened in 1843, it is a magical garden that inspired Walt Disney, with a mix of vintage attractions, modern roller coasters, beautiful gardens, concerts and a fairytale atmosphere that becomes especially magical at night, when thousands of lights are illuminated.
Sail like a Viking in Roskilde
At the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, you can not only admire five original ships rescued from the fjord, but also live the experience. In summer, it is possible to climb aboard a replica and help row the fjord, feeling for a moment what the life of these legendary sailors was like.
Visit Hamlet's castle
The imposing Kronborg Castle in Helsingør is world famous for being the 'Elsinore' of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. Exploring its Renaissance halls, its dark casemates and enjoying the views of the Baltic Sea (with Sweden on the other side) is an unmissable date with literature and history.
Be a kid again at LEGOLAND
Travel to Billund, Jutland, to visit the original LEGOLAND park. It is a fantastic experience for all ages. The heart of the park is Miniland, where famous cities and places around the world are recreated with millions of LEGO bricks, along with attractions and shows for the whole family.

Cost of living
Denmark is a country with a high standard of living and, therefore, expensive for the traveler. Plan your budget in advance, especially for accommodation and meals. Shopping at supermarkets and having picnics can be a good way to save.
Internal Transportation
The public transport network is extremely efficient. Trains connect all major cities quickly and comfortably. Within cities, the use of bicycles is the most recommended and popular option. Tickets are often purchased through apps.
Language
The official language is Danish. However, the Danes have an exceptionally high level of English, and the majority of the population speaks it fluently, so communication is very easy for tourists.
