Ten things to experience in Denmark

Tivoli Gardens

It sounds like a tranquil place to stroll through flowering meadows, but it’s really much more than that. Amid the manicured lawns and beautiful flowers, visitors will also find roller coasters, bustling cafes, live music and crowded beer gardens. No wonder it’s the most visited attraction in Copenhagen!

Stroget

A stop at the world’s longest pedestrian street is an absolute must during your Denmark train travel adventure. Located in the heart of Copenhagen, this is also the city’s largest shopping area. From budget-friendly stores to exclusive brands, you’ll find them here.

The Little Mermaid tour

Whether you choose a canal, bike, bus or walking tour, be sure to get a glimpse of the most popular tourist attraction in Denmark …and one of the most photographed in the world! Danish author Hans Christian Anderson wrote The Little Mermaid in 1837 and today she resides on Copenhagen's waterfront, as a national landmark.

Funen

Quaint villages, castles and Renaissance architecture awaits you when visiting this city, which is also the birthplace of storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.
