Denmark – The Land of Intriguing Experiences
Jutting into the North and Baltic seas, Denmark is a beautiful land of over 400 islands with great destinations where you are never more that 50km away from the sea. Thanks to the Danes fondness for green open areas nature will be with you as you travel through this wonderful land.
Our tour starts on the Jutland peninsula where we visit Ribe, Denmarks Oldest Town and Aarhus, its cultural centre; both of which will bring alive the Dane’s legendary sense for design and architecture. It’s then on to Funen for a stay in the picturesque town of Bogense.
The islands of Funen and Zealand are now linked to Jutland by bridges, including the 18km stretch of the Storebælt Bridges; opened in 1998 having taken 10 years to build they consist of 2 bridges and a tunnel, these are crossed as we move towards Denmark’s capital.
In Copenhagen we have excursions arranged for a tour of the city and to Roskilde for a visit to the wonderful Viking museum and a walk alongside the Baltic Sea Fjord.
We finish our tour with an amazing evening of entertainment at the world famous Tivoli Gardens.
Travelling in Scandinavia at this time of year is very special, enjoying the long days that being this far north provides, with darkness not arrriving until very late in the evening.
Add all this together with some Danish pastries and you begin to understand why Denmark is an intriguing holiday destination.
