Denmark has become one of northern Europe’s favourite destinations, and it is not hard to see why: its richness in ambiance and scenery—with forests, beaches, and lakes—, its fairy tale castles, and its wild cliffs offer a rich and complete experience to any traveller.
Stay at some of the best hotels in Denmark. NH Collection offers you the perfect location and top-notch amenities so you can make the most of your Danish adventure.
What is Denmark best known for?
Denmark is famous for having a strong bicycle culture and Danish people are known for their high quality of life with emphasis on social welfare and happiness. It’s a country full of history that will captivate you.
What shouldn’t I miss in Denmark?
Copenhagen is a good starting point to get to know the country. The heart of the city is the Christianshavn district, where you can find some of the top hotels in Denmark, ours included.
Nearby, you may find some of the biggest attractions of the city, such as the National Museum, with great treasures of Danish culture, thousands of years old; the Rosenborg Castle which houses the jewels of the Danish crown, and the palaces of Amalienborg and Christiansborg, for the royal family and the prime minister, respectively. We must not forget the iconic corners of the city and the country: the Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest functioning amusement parks, and the statue of the Little Mermaid, a must-see.
Denmark is also known for its impressive coasts and cliffs, with sights like the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse, which loses ground to the sea every year; the White Cliffs of Mons Klint, the meeting point between two seas in Skagen or the more than two thousand ravens who live in the oak trees in Jægersbog Dyrehave. These can be the perfect day trips to complete your holiday in Denmark.
How many days do you need to visit Denmark?
To get a good glimpse of Copenhagen and other parts of Denmark, you’ll need approximately 5 days. A weekend getaway in the capital can be more than enough if you want to explore the city centre, see its main attractions while you stay at a luxury hotel in Denmark to unwind. However, some extra days would let you experience a more rural Denmark with day trips to charming towns such as Roskilde, where you can visit the cathedral or the Viking Ship Museum; or Hillerød, just 45 minutes away from Copenhagen, which hosts the Frederiksborg Castle, Denmark’s largest Renaissance castle.
What are some must-try foods in Denmark?
If you want to try some local Danish food, you can visit Reffen, a huge urban playground filled with street food stalls, or Torvehallerne, where you can taste the famous smørrebrød, pastries, fresh seafood, local cheeses, and organic produce.
You may also want to try the forward-looking New Nordic cuisine trend, which is epitomized by the two-Michelin-star Noma—a portmanteau of “nordisk mad,” which means “Nordic food”— in Copenhagen. Noma, which emphasizes the use of local ingredients and reinterprets classic Nordic cuisine, has ranked repeatedly as the Best Restaurant in the World by Restaurant magazine and ranked 2nd as of 2019.
How is the climate in Denmark throughout the year?
The average temperature in winter ranges from -2ºC to 4ºC. Danish people are used to the cold, snow, and damp streets; they are not stopped by a little rain as they continue to bike to work. So just dress warmly and bring waterproof clothing!
In summer, you can expect temperatures from 15ºC to 22ºC and long daylight hours. It’s the perfect time for picnics, coastal town day trips and other outdoor activities.
But no matter when you decide to plan your holiday in Denmark, you’ll have a wonderful time. Just be sure to pack according to the season!
How do you travel between cities in Denmark?
Denmark has an excellent train network that connects most cities and towns in the country, making it easy and efficient. In order to reach other areas, buses and ferries are also available, with ferries being useful for visiting various islands and buses providing a more budget-friendly option.
Renting a car can give you flexibility to explore smaller villages in the country side, but the public transport or the bike-share services are the preferred way of moving around bigger cities such as Copenhagen.
Can I go from Denmark to Sweden?
Yes, the easiest way to go from Denmark to Sweden is to take a direct train from Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden. The train crosses the Øresund Bridge, which you can also cross by car or bus, and you won’t even need a visa if you’re a UE citizen!
