Denmark offers a multitude of possibilities for the visitor. With a coastline of 7.314 km there are plenty of opportunities for experiencing beautiful surroundings. The country's small size gives you the ability to easily travel around and visit other cities.
Unspoilt historic buildings and monuments characterise Denmark’s many small charming old towns. These towns are often situated by the sea, or adjacent to lakes, fjords and streams, and their location invites visitors to enjoy a sailing or a canoe trip. Generally speaking activity holidays featuring for example, fishing, golf or other sports have become extremely popular.
Denmark has extremely high levels of social trust. People trust each other and trust institutions like the government, the monarchy, the hospitals, and the police. Trust is an important part of the business environment, too. People are assumed to be honest unless proven otherwise.
These values of trust and community are deeply embedded in Danish culture and society and have their roots in Danish history.

It’s true, Denmark doesn’t have the stop-you-in-your-tracks natural grandeur of its neighbours, but its landscapes are understated – pure and simple, often infused with an ethereal Nordic light. Simplicity of form and function come first but not at the expense of beauty.
And so you’ll find moments of quintessential Danish loveliness on a long sandy beach, beside a lake, admiring a Renaissance castle, on the bike lanes of Bornholm or in a candlelit cafe that has perfected the art of hygge.
Denmark’s love affair with food goes back a long way. Traditional Danish food is based on what was historically available nearby or could be farmed during Denmark's short summers. Cabbage and root vegetables like beets were an important part of the diet, along with rye bread, fish, and pork. Ironically, the tasty frosted pastries known to much of the world as "Danish" are not Danish at all. They originated in Austria, and are known to the Danes themselves as "Viennese bread."
Chart-topping contentment and quality of life, blockbuster dining and design, and a cheerful emphasis on hygge – explore, what makes Denmark tick.
