Denmark sights: 21 beautiful places you must see [with map].

Our interactive map gives you a quick and easy overview of all the top sights in Denmark - one of the best countries to emigrate to.

Tip: Here you will find an overview of the most beautiful photo spots in Denmark.

1. the capital Copenhagen

The Danish capital Copenhagen is a highlight in itself and must not be missing from our list of top sights. For us, Copenhagen is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and you should plan at least one long weekend to explore the metropolis of 600,000 inhabitants with its beautiful old town.

Copenhagen is also the perfect place to start a road trip through Denmark. But now back to Copenhagen. The city's most famous sight is certainly the Little Mermaid, a statue by the Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen. The bronze figure is just over one metre high, making it one of the smallest landmarks in the world. You'll find the Little Mermaid on the Langelinie waterfront promenade. Okay, to be more precise, there is only a copy of the original, which the sculptor's family keeps in an unknown place. This does not diminish its popularity: large crowds regularly form in front of the Little Mermaid. Of course, everyone wants a photo with the city's landmark.

Another top attraction is the New Har bour with its colourful houses (Danish: Nyhavn), which lies between the famous Amalienborg and Christiansborg castles (more on this in a moment). The New Harbour is a canal that was completed in 1673 and was used as the city's central trading port until the 20th century. Incidentally, Hans Christian Andersen lived in different buildings here at different times - namely the buildings with house numbers 18, 20 and 67. Have fun exploring this beautiful corner of the city.

One of the city's best-known highlights is Tivoli, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and a popular attraction for families with children. The Tivoli was opened as early as 1843. Today, concerts are also held in the amusement park, which has countless rides such as a wooden roller coaster from 1914. Tivoli is open from mid-April to the end of September, as well as for a Christmas market and an almost month-long Halloween festival in October.

The Danish National Museum is also worth a visit. Here you can learn a lot about the history of the Vikings, who once spread fear and terror throughout Europe and today are the subject of incredible hype in TV series such as "Vikings" or "The Last Kingom".

If you're looking for a great view over the city, you should climb the tower of the Church of the Redeemer (Danish: Vor Frelsers Kirke). You must not be afraid of heights. Unlike other churches you know, you climb to the top not inside, but on the outside of the pointed corkscrew tower. The staircase becomes narrower and narrower and ends just before the top - a unique experience, but one for which you should have some courage. The view over Copenhagen from the church tower is unique - that's a promise!

Amalienborg Castle

Another famous attraction in Copenhagen that deserves its own section is Amalienborg Castle. The residence of the Danish royals is considered one of the most beautiful rococo buildings in the country and attracts huge numbers of visitors every year.

A highlight is the daily changing of the guard at 12:00. This always takes place when the royal family is at its seat. By the way, the hoisted flag signals: we are home. Depending on the type of changing of the guard (yes, there are actually three different changes), the Royal Guard marches through the city about half an hour beforehand.

Rosenborg Palace

Of course, the beautiful Rosenborg Palace, built in the Dutch Renaissance style, and the adjacent park Kongens Have (King's Garden) in Copenhagen must not be missing as an extra point in our performance.

The royal family lived at Rosenborg Castle until 1710. It was then transformed into today's museum, which houses the Danish Crown Jewels and the magnificent Knights' Hall, among other things.

On the opposite side of the Royal Garden you will find David 's Samling, also known as the David Collection. The museum houses a large collection of Islamic art.

Christiansborg Palace

To the south of Amalienborg and Rosenborg you will find Christiansborg Castle - it also has to be mentioned in our list of the top sights in Denmark. The castle fulfils several functions and is home to the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court and an official residence of the Prime Minister. In addition, the castle is used by the royal family for official occasions.

The free ascent to the prominent tower, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, is worthwhile. Otherwise, you can visit the royal reception rooms, the stables, the kitchen, the chapel and the ruins of the original palace, which was located on the same site.

Have we piqued your interest? Then you can find more exciting sights in Copenhagen here, such as the round tower Rundetårn or the shopping street Strøget.

The Wadden Sea National Park

Another top sight in Denmark is the Wadden Sea National Park (Danish: Vadehavet; website), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With an area of 1,466 km², the Wadden Sea National Park is the largest in the country. In addition to the Wadden Sea, the Wadden Sea Islands, the Skallingen peninsula, the fairytale-like course of the Varde Å river, the Marbæk area and parts of the marshland belong to the Wadden Sea National Park.

Of course, you can walk freely in the Wadden Sea almost everywhere in Denmark (but please pay close attention to the tides). If you are interested in the background of this natural wonder, you should stop at the thatched Wadden Sea Centre (Vadehavscentret) in Ribe (more on this in a moment). With more than 1000 square metres of exhibition space, the Wadden Sea Centre is a popular destination in the region.

You can also book one of the many guided tours in the national park here. The programme includes seal safaris, mudflat walks, shrimp safaris, the mudflats at night, cycling tours in the marshland and, in September and October, the "Black Sun". The Black Sun is a very special highlight. At this time of year, hundreds of thousands of starlings gather over the marshland and eclipse the sun in the evening. Hawks and other birds of prey chase the starlings, creating a magnificent spectacle in the evening sky.

A trip to the mudflats is a must. From the Wadden Sea Centre it is only a few minutes by car to the beach. At low tide you will see people walking far out on the mudflats, many in search of oysters. It's a great feeling to walk along the seabed. But be careful not to trample on any shells or snails. The countless heaps of lugworms working their way through the mud are a funny sight. The water is rarely deeper than ten centimetres. However, rubber boots are ideal for a trip to the mudflats.

3. Ribe

Founded in the 8th century, Ribe is Denmark's oldest town and thus predestined for a place in our top Danish sights. Today, a good 8,000 people live in Ribe. For many centuries, the small town was the most important Danish port on the North Sea. However, the harbour has long since lost its former importance.

Riebe offers some exciting attractions for tourists. The most famous is the imposing Ribe Cathedral (Danish: Ribe Domkirke or Vor Frue Kirke). Strolling through the old town, you will discover many other well-preserved buildings from bygone eras.

4. the Rubjerg Knude shifting sand dune

Rubjerg Kn ude is a huge shifting sand dune between Lønstrup and Løkken and one of the country's most famous tourist attractions. The highlight of Rubjerg Knude is the old Rubjerg Knude Fyr lighthouse, which was in danger of falling into the sea. In 2019, the lighthouse was finally moved 70 metres inland to preserve the attraction for future generations.

From the car park, you take a wide path for about a kilometre in the direction of Rubjerg Knude. Soon you get your first glimpse of the lighthouse from a distance - a fascinating sight. Soon you are standing at the foot of a large sand dune. The lighthouse is not far away. But the deep sand makes progress quite strenuous.

From the top of the dune you have a fantastic view of the huge Rubjerg Knude and the lighthouse, which was inaugurated in December 1900. The wind has created great patterns in the sand. Be sure to climb the 23-metre-high lighthouse. The buildings that once stood around the lighthouse have been enclosed by the sand over the years and have since been demolished. The only evidence of this are a few bricks scattered wildly around the lighthouse. From the lighthouse you have another fantastic view of Rubjerg Knude. If you didn't know any better, you would think you were standing in the middle of the desert.

5 Skagen: where the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea

Skagen is the northernmost town in Denmark and another great highlight. You'll find a nice photo spot in the dunes of Grenen with a view of the Skagen Grå Fyr lighthouse (the "grey lighthouse"). Built in 1858, the lighthouse is the second tallest in Denmark at 46 metres. If you like, you can climb the lighthouse, which is still in operation. To do so, you have to climb 210 steps. The view from the platform over the dunes is fantastic. It is at least as impressive to enjoy the sunset from a distance with a view of the lighthouse.

The best way to explore Skagen is by bike. On your bike tour through Skagen, keep an eye on the house roofs. Where there is always a lot of wind, the roof tiles are grouted with mortar. This is the case all over Denmark.

On your bike tour you should stop at Skagen's oldest lighthouse, the Wippfeuer (Vippefyr). The rocker light is not a lighthouse in the traditional sense, but a construction in which a wood or coal fire used to be hoisted into the air in a basket. It was built in 1626 and was in use until 1747. What you see here today is, of course, only a replica. The original no longer exists.

By the way, in 1747 it was replaced by the White Tower - a real lighthouse that still stands today and is one of Skagen's five historic lighthouses. The five lighthouses are:

• the seesaw light (Vippefyr, 1626)

• the White Tower (Hvidefyr, 1747)

• the Grey Lighthouse (1858)

• the Rubjerg Knude lighthouse (Rubjerg Knude Fyr, 1900)

• the Skagen West lighthouse (Skagen West Fyr, 1956)

Close to the seesaw lighthouse is Skagen Havn, Denmark's largest fishing harbour. Anyone on holiday in Denmark should not miss this sight. Even huge cruise ships like the almost 300-metre-long Brilliance of the Seas dock in the harbour.

⭐ Tip: From Monday to Friday between seven and eight o'clock, the Skagen Fiskeauktion, a fish auction, takes place in the harbour. Visitors are welcome to watch the freshly caught fish being auctioned off.

A unique attraction is also the silted-up church of St Laurentius (den tilsandede kirke). The oldest document mentioning the church dates from 1387, and the church was abandoned in 1795. The last burial in the cemetery took place in 1810. It was simply too costly to protect the church from the drifting sand. The church was finally demolished. The tower, however, was preserved as a sea marker and has been silting up ever since.

Skagens Gren

There's one place you can't miss on your trip to the north of Denmark: Grenen, also called Skagens Gren (in Danish gren means "branch"). This is the northern tip of Jutland and Denmark. This is where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. You can see exactly where the two seas meet from the waves.

Of course, Grenen is one of the top sights in Denmark. The car park (for which a fee is charged) is correspondingly busy. It takes about half an hour to walk to the very tip. You can either follow a wide cut in the dunes, which is also used by tractors with their trailers to take visitors directly to the northern tip. But the path along the beach with the surf is more beautiful.

If you're lucky, you might see seals here. But it's better to stay away from these cute-looking animals. Seals are powerful predators and can even kill small whales and theoretically humans, as a marine biologist friend told us later.

6. Lyngvig Fyr Lighthouse with the sand dunes

The Lyngvig Fyr lighthouse in Hvide Sande on the west coast of Jutland is beautifully situated between high sand dunes. It's clear from the busy car park that Lyngvig Fyr is one of the country's top sights. Before you make your way to the viewing platform, it's worth taking a walk towards the sea. Soon you'll reach the imposing dunes and look down on the endless beach. Make yourself comfortable in a sheltered spot and soak up this moment and the impressive landscape. The air is wonderfully fresh and smells of the sea.

Tickets - or more precisely, entrance coins - to the 38-metre-high Lyngvig Fyr are available in the small museum right by the lighthouse. If you like, you can also buy all kinds of souvenirs in the museum or have a cup of coffee or tea with a delicious piece of cake. There are 228 steps, 79 of them on the wooden staircase that leads up to the entrance at the foot of the dune, to the viewing platform of Lyngvig Fyr.

The spiral staircase to the top will surely take your breath away. From below, the staircase looks like a blue snail shell. An absolutely ingenious photo motif that also graces many a postcard. After a few minutes, you reach a small hatch that leads to the open air at the top. If the wind is blowing, a thick jacket is essential.

Otherwise, the trip to Lyngvig Fyr will be very short. The view over the endless dune landscape, the North Sea and the Ringkøbing Fjord is incomparable. Incidentally, admission costs 50 kroner and is well worth it in any case. Children and young people up to the age of 18 pay nothing, which is why the lighthouse is very popular with families.

7. the Mønsted Kalkgruber

The Mønsted Kalkgruber(website) near Viborg also belongs to our list of top sights in Denmark. The world's largest lime mine was opened up as early as the late Middle Ages, and the oldest passages are about 1000 years old. Mønsted Kalkgruber was closed down in 1955.

You should plan on two to three hours to explore the impressive underground world. Incidentally, the lime pit is home to thousands of bats.

Through the dark corridors of Mønsted Kalkgruber

Before going underground, you should take a look at the small museum with its historical photographs. Not far away is the inconspicuous entrance to the lime mine, a large gateway. Around two kilometres of the 60-kilometre-long tunnel network are illuminated. At the beginning, there is a 10-minute film show about the lime pit, which is shown at regular 30-minute intervals. The show is really well done. It's fun to watch and listen to. The film is shown in German, by the way. After the film, the adventure underground begins.

The exciting thing is that there are no set routes and no groups. You can move freely in the lime mine and explore the dark passages. A torch is obligatory because it is pitch black in the lime pit. You don't have to be afraid of getting lost. At some point you will always come across one of the illuminated paths (at least that was always our hope).

Bats at Mønsted Kalkgruber

They hang in the dark corners of the large rooms: tiny fluffy bats. You will discover the little flying mammals everywhere if you walk through the corridors with your eyes open. Please just look and otherwise leave the animals in peace.

The old lime works

Almost as exciting as the lime pit is the old lime works, which has been restored with great attention to detail. The lime works was built in 1874 and renovated in 1933. The lime works was in operation until 1980. Today the lime works is a museum that gives an impressive view of Danish industrial history. It is a hands-on museum. Steep wooden stairs lead up to the roof. The old furnaces are particularly impressive. You could almost think they were still working here until yesterday.

8. The ruins of Hammershus Castle

The imposing ruins of Hammershus Castle on the popular sunny island of Bornholm are another well-known sight in this pleasant country in the far north. The 13th-century fortress watches over the north of the island and sits enthroned on the steep rocky cliffs.

Over the centuries, Hammershus has been heavily contested and has been conquered and recaptured several times. In 1743, Hammershus was finally abandoned and left to decay. This was partly due to the locals who took down the fortress walls to build their own houses. For over 100 years, the ruins have been restored and rebuilt.

The path up to the ruins - one of the largest in the Nordic countries - is quite steep, but worth every effort, especially as the view from the fortress over the Baltic Sea is dreamlike.

9. The Round Churches of Bornholm

Bornholm has many more attractions to offer. In addition to lighthouses, windmills, churches, museums, fishing villages, white beaches and the cliffs in the north, the four round churches are particularly worth seeing.

Three of the four round churches on Bornholm - the Church of Saint Olsker, the Church of Nylars and the Church of Østerlars - were designed as fortified churches and also served as defence in the 12th century. The fourth in the group, the Ny Kirke, was only built later in the 13th century at a time when the fear of marauding bands subsided. The Ny Kirke therefore probably no longer served primarily for defence.

Typical Nordic round churches can be found in other parts of Denmark as well as in Sweden and Norway. However, the most famous ones are on Bornholm - a sight you should not miss.

10. Thorup Strand in Jammerbugt

Another great attraction not to be missed on your trip to Denmark is Thorup Strand in the Jammerbugt. The name is actually derived from the word "jammer". A long time ago, when seafaring still had to make do without modern navigation devices, numerous ships sank in Jammer Bay and many sailors drowned in the cold North Sea. Jammer Bay was long considered one of the most dangerous coastal waters on earth.

Thorup Strand consists of only a few houses. In summer, however, there is a lot going on in the little village. The fishermen have formed a community to stand up to the large floating fish factories that mercilessly exploit and destroy the sea.

Thorup Strand was once Denmark's largest coastal landing site with about 20 fishing boats. Today Thorup Strand is the only remaining commercial coastal fishing landing site. The fishing boats are traditionally built and, when they are on the beach, are an absolute highlight. Incidentally, the fish is sold freshly caught in a small shop. The offer changes constantly - depending on what the fishermen bring back.

11. Aarhus

Aarhus (also Århus) is Denmark's second-largest city with almost 300,000 inhabitants. In our opinion, a trip to Aarhus - once a Viking settlement - is a must on every trip to Denmark. The old town enchants its visitors. The top attraction is the open-air museum "Den Gamle By - The Old Town". In this popular museum you can literally stroll through the past.

Entire streets are designed in the style of a town at the end of the 19th century. Another part of the museum takes you back to the 1920s. But the 1970s are also brought to life in the museum. A visit to the museum is one of the great highlights of any trip to Denmark.

Art fans should plan a trip to the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, which is considered one of the most important contemporary art museums in Northern Europe.

12. the Råbjerg Mile shifting sand dune

Just twelve kilometres from Skagen, another great sight awaits you: the Råbjerg Mile shifting sand dune. It is simply fun to walk through the huge area. The patterns created by the wind in the sand are great. If you didn't know any better, you'd think you were standing in a desert somewhere in Africa.

The imposing shifting sand dune has been under nature conservation since 1900 and can continue its path through Jutland undisturbed. The shifting sand dune, which can be up to 40 metres high, covers an area of about one square kilometre and moves about 15 metres per year. One day in the distant future, the dune will probably disappear into the Baltic Sea. But only our great-great-great-grandchildren will experience that.

Right at the car park you will find many paths and traces of other visitors. It is worthwhile to hike a little way into the area. Here the tracks become fewer and fewer.

13. Christiansfeld

Christiansfeld cannot be missing from our list of top sights. The town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. One highlight is Brødremenighedens Kirke, the church of the Brethren congregation, which was consecrated in 1777. The church is the stark opposite of anything we have seen before. No decoration, no altar, no baptismal font and no pictures. Only the old hand-forged chandeliers catch the eye. The room is plain white and huge. There is room for up to 1000 people.

The central Lindegade (linden avenue) is also worth seeing. The old cobblestones and the historic buildings make the street something very special. A highlight is definitely the pharmacy. This used to be, as the name suggests, a pharmacy. Today it's a small café where you can buy all kinds of goodies. The decoration is still reminiscent of times long past. Absolutely worth a visit.

14. The Atlantic Wall

Another exciting sight is the Atlantikwall, the remains of which can still be marvelled at with a shudder in many sections of the Danish North Sea coast. With the Atlantic Wall, the National Socialists wanted to prevent an invasion of Northern and Western Europe by the Western Allies. From 1942 to 1944, the Nazis planned and built huge defensive bunkers along a length of around 5,000 kilometres, along the coasts of the Atlantic, the English Channel and the North Sea, and from Norway to southern France.

The largest bunker complex in the kingdom can be found in the north-west of the Hanstholm Game Reserve. The so-called "First Battery" in today's Thy National Park(website), consisting of 19 larger bunkers, is considered the best-preserved German coastal battery in Denmark. Most of the bunkers are open and waiting to be explored.

The Furreby coastal battery near Løkken is also worth seeing. Here you can see a good dozen huge World War II bunkers slowly sinking into the sea. There are more bunkers in the area, but many are hidden in the dunes. The site was built in 1941, together with the battery in Kettrup Bjerge just south of Løkken, to defend the Jammer Bay.

From the dunes you have a great view over the whole site. Of course, you can also take a look inside the bunkers. Some of the old stairways lead up to the roofs of the concrete blocks.

By the way,Løkken is known for its beautiful old town and its fine bathing beach (well, that applies to half of Denmark). There is also a traditional seaside hotel in Løkken, which was opened in 1895. In addition, from May to October, there are 485 white bathing huts on the beach along a length of about two and a half kilometres, but they are all privately owned. Those who do not own a bathing hut can relax in the sauna on the beach.

15. the island of Møn

The geology of the island of Møn is reminiscent of the German island of Rügen. The highlight is the 128-metre-high chalk cliff Møns Klint, which rises steeply into the sky. But this is not the only sight on the island. Among other things, the (primeval) forest of Ulvshale, the remote fishing village of Nyord and the Møn Fyr lighthouse, built in 1845, are worth a visit.

Another exciting sight are the megalithic tombs. A total of 119 such graves from the Neolithic period have been discovered on the island. However, it is assumed that more than 1000 such graves once existed. In the whole of Denmark, around 2800 megalithic tombs have been discovered so far.

Good to know: The German writer Günter Grass, who achieved world fame with his debut novel "The Tin Drum", spent his summers in Ulvshale from 1976 onwards. Grass wrote parts of the novel "The Butt" in his "Vogterhus".

16. Haderslev

For us, Haderslev is one of the most beautiful places in Denmark. A highlight is Hadersleben Cathedral, which is considered the most beautiful Gothic church in Denmark. When you look into a Danish church for the first time, you will certainly be surprised by the large model ships in many churches. But of course, the Danes were a seafaring people.

The old town also has many well-preserved streets with buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries. You'll find a lot to the east of the market around Schlossstraße and Klingenberg. But you will also find many historic buildings west of the main street in the area of the former monastery. It is worth strolling through the beautiful alleys without a destination and letting the atmosphere of the city take effect on you.

17. Kronborg Palace

KronborgCastle, or Kronborg Slot as the Danes call it, is one of the most impressive fortresses in the country. Whoever ruled the fortress, which also served as the royal seat, near Helsingør north of Copenhagen had power over the entrance to the Øresund.

The castle has had an eventful history. A small fortress was first built on the site of Kronburg Castle in 1420, and extensive extension work began in 1574. In 1629, a fire destroyed the complex. Reconstruction took place over the next ten years. In the mid-19th century, the Danes abolished the Sund tariff, which ships had to pay when travelling through the waters. With this, the fortress lost its important military position. But it was not until the early 1990s that the Danish military withdrew completely.

However, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kronborg Slot became famous in particular as "Hamlet's Castle". After all, William Shakespeare set the plot of his world-famous play Hamlet in the fortress.

18. Roskilde

Roskilde, known among other things for the legendary Roskilde Festival, should not be missing from our list of top sights. Roskilde Cathedral, for example, is worth seeing. The 13th-century church has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Starting with Harald I Blauzahn in the 10th century, many kings and queens found their final resting place here.

While strolling along the cobblestones of Roskilde, don't miss a visit to the Viking Ship Museum(website). Here you can admire excellently preserved Viking ships and learn a lot about the culture of the time.

19. a guided tour of the Stauning Whisky distillery.

Whisky fans take note: With Stauning Wh isky, one of the best whiskies in the world comes from Denmark. On a guided tour through the distillery near Skjern you will get an insight into the production. On our research trip, we were even lucky enough to have a personal tour with Julie Vesterby, the wife of one of the founders.

It all started in 2005 in an old butcher's shop. Back then, nine men decided to make more out of their hobby. They started a small whisky production. The following year, the well-known whisky expert Jim Murray ("Jim Murray's Whisky Bible") got his hands on the noble drop, or rather, his glass. Murray was thrilled. Spurred on by this, the Stauning Whisky Distillery saw the light of day in 2007.

20. Gråsten Castle

Denmark has many castles worth visiting. If you are in the area around the beautiful town of Aabenraa , you should take a detour to Gråsten Castle (Gravenstein Castle). The castle serves as the summer residence of the royal family.

The castle was originally built in the mid-16th century as a hunting lodge. In 1603 the building burnt down, after which a new castle was built. Around 1700, Grand Chancellor Frederik Ahlefeldt had a huge Baroque palace built - but that too fell victim to the flames in 1757.

Of the building, only the magnificent castle church, which is still in use today, survived the fire. The present castle was built in two stages. After the south wing in 1759, the main building was added in 1842. The palace and palace gardens can always be visited - except when the royal family is staying at the palace. This is usually the case from the end of June to mid-August. On the other hand, visitors can attend parades and the changing of the guard - a very special event.

21. Historic Sønderborg & Flensburg Fjord

The city of Sønderborg stands for beautiful Caribbean beaches and a lot of history. Unfortunately, the city was badly damaged in the German-Danish War of 1864 (more on that in a moment), and many buildings were demolished in the 20th century. Today, you won't find as many historic buildings in the old town as in other cities. Nevertheless, a trip to Sønderborg is worthwhile.

For one thing, Sønderborg lies on the Flensburg Fjord, through which the German-Danish border runs. The Flensburg F jord, in turn, delights with its white sandy beaches, reminiscent of the South Seas.

On the other hand, Sønderborg is home to the Dybbøl Banke History Centre (German: Geschichtszentrum Düppeler Anhöhe). It commemorates the battles of 1864, when Danish troops clashed with Prussian troops (the Battle of Düppel in April 1864 and the Battle of Alsen in June 1864). The German-Danish War did not end well for the Danes. The city, already heavily destroyed, was captured by the Prussians on 29 June 1864. In 1920, the city, which is considered the most important Art Nouveau city in Denmark, passed back into Danish administration after a referendum. In the museum you can learn a lot about these hard times.

Every year at the end of June, the Alsen Historical Brigade re-enacts the decisive Battle of Alsen on 29 June 1864. As a spectator or even a participant (to take part), you will be transported into the turmoil of war. The volunteers set up a soldiers' camp with a tent camp, hospital, sutlers and more at Kær Vestermark. During the day, combat demonstrations are carried out. Finally, at night, the crossing of the Als and the re-enactment of the decisive battles take place. In addition, everyday life on the farms of the time is re-enacted. "/>

Family tip: Legoland in Billund

One reason for families with children to travel to Denmark, apart from the many beautiful beaches, is of course Legoland in Billund. What child doesn't dream of strolling through a miniature wonder world made of Lego? For me, Legoland in Denmark was an unforgettable highlight as a child in the 1990s.

Today, there are more than 50 attractions to marvel at in Legoland. In total, there are more than 65 million colourful Lego bricks in the amusement park. Children's eyes get really big.

Active tip: The Baltic Sea Coast Cycle Route N8

Do you want to explore Denmark by bike? Then we can recommend the Baltic Sea Coast Cycle Route N8 (National Route 8). The cycle trail is about 820 kilometres long and leads in the form of a figure eight on 14 stages along many highlights in Denmark. Along the way are sights such as the cliff Møns Klint, the Nakskov Fjord Nature Park, the Helnæs peninsula and Denmark's largest nature park Lillebælt.

Biggi spent five days on the N8 Baltic Sea Cycle Route and really enjoyed the tour. You don't have to be a professional biker to ride the routes either. Rather, the N8 is a great pleasure route. With an e-bike, you won't even mind the sometimes strong wind. You can find more information about the N8 here at Visit Denmark.

I hope our overview of the top sights in Denmark will help you spend a few pleasant days in the land of the Vikings. Of course, there are many more exciting attractions to discover in Denmark. That's always the beauty of travelling: Discovering countries for yourself and exploring places that completely surprise you.
