Denmark holidays

Holidays to Denmark line up artsy cities, rolling countryside and some of Europe’s best-looking beaches.

Cities and scenery

Denmark spreads itself out over mainland Europe and a group of islands – more than 400 to be exact – so holidays here are as varied as they come. But cosmopolitan cities and outdoor adventures are what draw in most of the crowds. And the country’s been repeatedly dubbed the happiest in the world, so wherever you’re heading, you can expect a friendly welcome.

A cool capital

From criss-cross canals and rainbow-hued townhouses to a top-notch dining scene and one of the world’s oldest theme parks, Copenhagen has it all. And as Denmark’s capital city, it makes a great base for exploring more of the country. There’s a whole lot for art and history lovers to see here, too. Take the museum at Amalienborg Palace for example – it houses royal paintings dating back almost 400 years.

The great outdoors

Beaches, forests, lakes – you name it, Denmark’s got it. Around 200 of the country’s beaches have been given the Blue Flag stamp of approval. And if you want to see the country’s wild side, you’ll find plenty of natural sights within easy reach of Copenhagen. Møns Klint is one of the most popular – and for good reason. It’s got towering chalk cliffs, Caribbean-like water and salad-green forest to thank for its picture-perfect looks.
