Denmark

Between the North Sea and the Baltic, The Danish kingdom was established during the age of the Vikings in the 10th century. Over the course of a millennia, it has become one of the most socially, economically developed countries in the world. As a visitor to Denmark, you’ll be charmed by small towns, rolling green hills, and a rich cultural identity. In a week, at a good pace, you can see all four corners of the country, but Denmark is probably best seen at a leisurely pace to enjoy the simple things that make Denmark special. From Aarhus to Odense, Skagen to Aabenraa, this is a little taste of Denmark.
