A magical land surrounded by mystical tales of majestic castles, little mermaids, vikings, delicious pastries, and beautiful beaches. Denmark has it all – from the Tivoli Gardens to popular beaches to Legoland – there is always something for people of all ages. The Kingdom of Denmark is the smallest and southernmost of the five Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland and Denmark) if its offshore territories – Greenland and the Faroe Islands – are excluded. Its regions include Jutland, the mainland peninsula located north of Germany, as well as Zealand, Funen and Bornholm, three of the major islands located in the Baltic Ocean.
Copenhagen, the capital, is located in the island of Zealand. This city has evolved into a well-developed cosmopolitan city beyond your wildest imagination. Considered as the hub for international traffic, business, development and education, Copenhagen is home to 1.7 million people – 7% of which come from other countries. The city offers plenty of activities for everyone. Those who like swimming will enjoy the clean waters of the Copenhagen Harbour and all the public beaches that offer diving, wind-surfing, kayaking, grilling and bonfires. Denmark is a culture that embraces biking and the environment, therefore you will find that bikes can be rented for free all throughout Copenhagen. You can bike to the site of the little mermaid – a beautiful sculpture based on a popular fairytale that has also become the symbol of Denmark. You can also bike to museums, castles, gardens, shopping, restaurants, and cafes. One of the most popular theme parks in Denmark is the Tivoli Gardens, which features all kinds of rides, activities, and pop/rock concerts.
