The gateway to Scandinavia is often overlooked in favour of its Nordic cousins. Denmark is a fascinating country to explore. Whether you’re here for a city break, winter sports, or an active holiday, you’ll be met with a warm welcome which will leave you longing to stay.

Sharing many similarities with neighbouring Germany, Denmark provides an easy introduction to the Nordic way of life. It also offers easy access to the rest of Scandinavia.
