Tourism of Denmark

Almost the last stop of our trip.. Now, we are visiting the country Denmark and there is a lot to do here. Meet the Vikings, go on island hopping on some of Denmark's more than 400 islands, taste the new Nordic kitchen or learn more about the Danish bicycle culture, it’s all possible in this country.

Most tourists consist of people from countries in the neighborhood of Denmark, mainly Germany but also Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands. These people have their own reason to come to Denmark. The Swedish and Norwegian tourists visit especially the city of Copenhagen. The young Scandinavians come to Denmark for his cheap and accessible beer, wines and spirits. The beaches attract mainly German tourists.

The most visited attractions in Denmark are Tivoli Gardens, a lot of fascinating museums, Legoland Billund, many zoo’s, amusement parks and historical places. We visited some museums, Legoland and some historical places.

We visited the Lego attraction in Miniland and it’s plenty of wonderful landscapes, epic battle scenes, fantastic LEGO figures and interactive features. You have also the chance to have a reunion with all the LEGOLAND activities you know and admire.

Some of our group love animals, so do I. that’s the reason why we made an unforgettable and amazing journey, organized by the Odense Zoo. An old man, who takes care of the animals and who was our driver, told us that they have more than 2,000 animals from around the world. We saw the elegant giraffes in the Kiwara and heard the lions roar when we entered their territory, large camels, lazy pandas, and so on.

What about the food in Denmark? If you ask me, the food was great! A few years ago, Danish food was essentially associated with potatoes and bacon. Now, the chefs in Denmark have developed a whole new Nordic food movement. What does this mean? It means a renaissance of classic Danish dishes, which are available in modern versions at several of Copenhagen's best restaurants. It’s based on seasonal produce, traditional preparation and local knowledge.

The Danish people love to eat traditional foods like porridge, open sandwiches and the classic roast pork with parsley sauce, served with a glass of Danish beer. It’s very popular and it's not to be missed! So, I would say, take your suitcase and come enjoy the food here. Not only the food, but also the many attractions in Denmark!
