The beauty, history, and uniqueness about Denmark, combined with having some of the happiest people on Earth, is what makes it such a remarkable place to visit.

From Vikings to royalty, Lego to folklore and legends, and beer to bikes, there are so many unique things to do in Denmark that give you a truly immersive look into Danish culture.

Ride a bike in Denmark

In all of my years travelling, I’ve found Denmark to be one of the easiest places in Northern Europe to travel in.

Even Walt Disney loved Tivoli! Did you know that his visit to Tivoli is partly where he gained the inspiration to create Disneyland?
