Denmark

If you are looking for a nice holiday, in a nice country with nice people and you are not too worried about the weather then Denmark is a great place. The rather flat country side offers great variations from the east to the west and from the nort to the south. Denmark is a small country but it does still have a lot to offer both to people seeking cultural entertainment and for people preferrring being out in the nature. In the very north of Jutland (Jylland, mainland connected with Germany) you will find Skagen, a beautiful little town ... if you go all the way up to the tip of the country (just north of Skagen) you will find lovely sandy beaches and you can ...  Read the complete review

I would never have even considered taking a trip to Denmark had it not been for a conference I was required to attend for my research. I had heard it was expensive and the weather was very similar to that of the UK...so really no great appeal to a twenty something female - how wrong I was! This opinion is not meant to be a complete run down of Denmark, more of an account of the areas that I visited in the week I was there. GENERAL ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Believe it or not, Denmark is made up of 450 islands, most quite tiny and uninhabited. It is divided up into 3 regions; Sjaelland, Fyn and the peninsula of Jylland.

Denmark is a country which I love with a passion. It's not that I've travelled it extensively or know a great deal about it, more that, if I was forced to live elsewhere on this planet, it would be there. I've visited about a dozen times over the last 20 years or so but never ventured further than Jylland (Jutland, the mainland). No, I've never even been to Copenhagen but have heard from many who have that it does indeed live up to the song lyrics. One day I'll get round to it. Why haven't I visited elsewhere? I don't know really. I suppose it's because I've just never got round to it because everything we want can be found ...  Read the complete review

My first day in Copenhagen was not exciting. The weather was gloomy and the Tivoli Park was not open because it was still in April. However, there was one thing I must say. The warmth and friendliness of Danish was almost unsurpassed in most of the European countries. They were so helpful. Whenever we had doubt about the bus we should take, somebody will always turn up to help us. When you travel around the county, I had an inexplicable sense of secure.

There is extensive bus network around ...  Read the complete review
