Discover delightful trips to Denmark
When you want a Denmark vacation that gives you more bang for your buck, look no further. This Scandinavian country is full of surprise, delight and inspiration. One day, you could be admiring the Queen’s Palace or taking a chilled-out canal boat ride, and the next, you may feel like a kid again at Tivoli Gardens amusement park or grabbing a picture of the famous Little Mermaid statue.

Classy Vacations in Copenhagen
If you’ve never taken a trip to Denmark, you’re missing out on a European destination with a distinctly cool vibe. Copenhagen is the charming capital city by the coast, which means delicious seafood, calming views, and canal tours with friends, family, or that special person in your life.
One of the many great things about going on vacation is learning more about the culture of the place you’re staying. Copenhagen’s many museums provide a brilliant insight into Danish creativity. Our top picks (in no particular order) are Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, an art and sculpture museum with a huge selection of artifacts going back many thousands of years. Continuing on the art theme, Statens Museum for Kunst or SMK for short is home to Danish and European paintings from the past 700 years or so. Finally, Designmuseum Danmark is a converted former hospital showcasing color and inspiration galore in the form of ceramics, furniture and textiles.
Fabulous food at every turn
Copenhagen also has an outstanding restaurant scene. Nyhavn is a district packed with top-class eateries, cafes, bars and entertainment. It’s popular with tourists and locals alike, with the brightly-colored building facades adding to its appeal. Jægersborggade is another top spot for foodies. If you’re looking for a laid-back day mixing with the locals, enjoying coffee and cakes, and doing a bit of shopping, this street is hard to beat. If you’re still in the mood to try local food, you should definitely stop by Torvehallerne, which is a gourmet food hall where you can pick up a fresh and tasty bite to eat or explore the various fresh produce on sale.
Your Denmark vacation could also include a calming stroll around Copenhagen’s botanical garden, a harborside cycle or getting into the water at one of the harbor baths for a chilled-out swim with a special view.
Visiting Copenhagen also allows you to broaden your horizons into Sweden. The city of Malmö is a short train ride away over the Øresund Bridge. There are also plenty of terrific things to see and do just outside Copenhagen, including the picturesque fishing village of Dragør with its cobbled streets and Elsinore, a market town with a rich history dating back 800 years.
