The home of hygge and Hans Christian Andersen
Denmark is a small country comprising hundred of islands and endless opportunities for family fun. The capital, Copenhagen, should be the first stop on any Denmark family vacation, as it’s the country’s cultural and culinary hub. Here you can see the famous Little Mermaid statue perched on her rock beside the Langelinie Pier, and hop between cosy cafés for coffee and pastries.
This country also boasts phenomenal museums that will appeal to multiple generations. There’s the Experimentarium (an interactive science centre) and the fascinating Design Museum, plus the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. After exploring them you can sit down for a meal of classic Danish cuisine featuring smørrebrød (open sandwiches) and frikadeller (meatballs) or the avant-garde creations of Michelin-starred restaurants.
Within Copenhagen you’ll find grand attractions like the Amalienborg Palace and Rosenborg Castle, which houses the Danish crown jewels. And if you want to venture farther afield, head to the Faroe Islands. This volcanic archipelago offers panoramic hiking trails, Viking villages and amazing wildlife including puffins, whales and dolphins.
