Denmark is a kingdom where Viking heritage, royal pageantry and bold contemporary design exist in seamless, captivating harmony. Copenhagen, one of Europe's most admired capitals, is its magnificent showpiece. The iconic Nyhavn canal, with its row of painted seventeenth-century townhouses reflected in the still water, is as inviting in reality as it is in any photograph. While the grand Rosenborg Castle, a Dutch Renaissance jewel built by the visionary King Christian IV in the early seventeenth century, houses the dazzling Danish crown jewels in its vaulted basement.
Christiansborg Palace, rising imperiously from its own island on the city's waterfront, stands as one of Europe's most extraordinary buildings. It is the seat of Danish parliament, the Supreme Court and the Prime Minister's office, all within a single palace whose foundations date back to 1167.
From the fairy-tale spires of royal castles to the clean lines of world-leading Scandinavian design, Denmark is a country of remarkable range. Compact enough to explore with ease, yet rich enough to reward every curious traveller who steps ashore. Discover Denmark for yourself on our escorted Travelsphere tours.
