Denmark is usually not in the list of the most frequently touristed countries in Europe, however, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth visiting. In true, Denmark is a group of islands situated in the Baltic Sea north of Germany.
This country will attract both tourists searching for antique places and those who seek modern European megalopolis. Denmark is widely known to play a sufficient role in ancient Europe history, especially in the era of the Vikings. You can find here multiple early Christianity and gothic churches, castles or the royal family and other stunning palaces. However, tourists can find in Denmark modern towns and conceptual architecture. Also don’t forget about one of the most popular fairytale writer ever - Hans Christian Anderson. He lived in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark and this is the place where he wrote his magnificent stories. You just need to visit this place to feel local atmosphere and you will definitely get the feeling that fairies can live only in the place like this. By the way, modern Denmark doesn’t forget to make our children happy as this country is as well a home of widely known Lego toy construction sets.
If you want to make your trip to Copenhagen, you may have heard this place is a pricey one. Well, that is true; you can see it in the list of most expensive travel destinations. The truth is, Northern Europe has never been cheap for travelers, but budget tourists shouldn’t avoid it as even a short search will show you hotels with rooms around $100-120 a night. What’s really expensive is alcohol. The center of the city is full of tiny and lovely cafes, but be ready to pay up to $12-15 for just a cup of coffee and a croissant. In general, it’s better to take your credit cards with you, if you want to have a real holiday and don’t think about money.
When you visit Copenhagen, don’t miss just to wonder around and get a feel for the city. Believe me, there are lots of things you should see. Include in your tour list worldwide famous the Little Mermaid statue, multiple beautiful parks and real architecture masterpieces like Henning Larsen’s Opera House. This building is a real piece of modernistic culture of tomorrow and a must visit stop in Copenhagen. By the way, it’s free to visit.
Usually tourists have a diverse attitude towards museum visiting. On the one hand, it’s a useful thing and a usual way to explore the country. Most travel agencies even offer museum tours in addition to your travel program. On the other hand, museums quite often are boring and costly. Museum of Danish Resistance is not in this list. Take a visit to this place and enjoy truly fantastic tour.
Food is an essential part of any vacation as every tourist wants to know where he or she can try local cuisine at reasonable price. I can say for sure, feel free to eat whenever you want in this city. It doesn’t matter, will this be a costly restaurant in Copenhagen’s center, or a student union bar - you can enjoy quality meat dishes and fresh salads in both places. Small bars quite often have a hippy inspired atmosphere, but the cheapest beer can also be found here.
In general, Copenhagen is a great place to visit if you want to know what “old Europe” means.
