Denmark is a nation well-known for many things: a rich Viking history, impressive castles, cutting-edge new Nordic cuisine, and modern design and living that incorporates a “hygge” sense of contentment and warmth.

On this journey, we go beyond the capital Copenhagen for the many local experiences that the country offers, starting from the beautiful landscape of North Jutland and Skagen that once had a thriving artist colony. Experience the rich culture and bustling scene in Denmark’s second city Aarhus, and then immerse yourself into the literary world of Hans Christian Andersen at Odense. In Zealand, glorious castles await exploration, as well as the Viking history at Roskilde, before returning to Copenhagen – a cultural, culinary and historical mecca. There is so much to experience, that a return trip is always warranted!
