Best places to visit in Denmark

• Copenhagen: Explore the landmarks in the Danish capital. Amalienborg Palace is its historical centre and residence of the royal family. Or drive about 10 min out of town to the world’s oldest amusement park at Bakken. The Glyptoteket museum contains ancient and modern art, and Rosenborg Castle houses Denmark’s Crown Jewels. Of course, there’s also Copenhagen’s famous Little Mermaid sculpture.
• Aarhus: Set on the Jutland coast and a major fishing centre in Medieval times, you can get a sense of local history and culture by visiting Den Gamle By (the Old Town), comprising around 75 16th-century buildings of all descriptions. By contrast, the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum boasts modern art and ultra-modern architecture. The 12th-century Aarhus Cathedral is another important historic landmark.
• Odense: Known as Denmark’s “garden island”, this is a bit of a global pilgrimage site, as the Hans Christian Andersen’s birthplace. There’s also a commemorative museum bearing his name. Or take about a 15 min drive to Egeskov Castle, the most well-preserved moat castle in Europe, built in 1554. To explore authentic historical Danish rural life, drive about 2 miles to the Funen Open-Air Village.
