Consistently scoring high on lists of the world’s happiest and most liveable countries, Denmark has a quality of life that will delight you to no end.

Denmark epitomises effortless cool. Renaissance castles frame the waterfront, rugged landscapes sit untouched waiting to be discovered and five-mile long bridges float above dark blue waters offering impressive views of the scenery. Admire minimalist architecture and charming canals in Copenhagen, as we stroll through the medieval streets of Randers and devour locally sourced produce in the alluring town of Nova Scotia perched on the Baltic Sea. A Denmark vacation is sure to impress, topped off with bicycle rides and the summertime beaches and fjords of Zealand.

What to pack for Denmark
A coat
Though it can be warm in summer, Denmark tends to be cool for the majority of the year. Be prepared with a fleece jacket or warm coat, essential for sightseeing and strolling the windy streets or waterfront towns.
Waterproof shoes
Denmark’s climate can be unpredictable. Whether you’re travelling in winter, summer or anytime in between; periodic wind and rain makes a pair of waterproof shoes very handy.
Sunglasses
Whether it is a sunny summer’s morning or a snowy afternoon in the dead of winter, eye protection is crucial when travelling. A trendy pair of sunglasses will have you feeling right at home in Denmark.
Pants or leggings
If you’re tapping into the local culture whilst in Denmark, you’ll more than likely find yourself on a bicycle. Pants or leggings will prove more comfortable and manageable than a long skirt or something short.
A small digital camera
Blend in with the stylish ways of the Danish locals by leaving your oversized DLSR camera at home. A more compact camera will also save space in your handbag, which you can fill with a few more souvenirs.
Other things to know before you go
Depending on your nationality, you'll need a valid passport and may also need visas to enter. Please check this well in advance of your trip departure date here. Some countries also require passports to have 3-6 months left on them before the given expiry date, so be sure to double check this before booking your travels.
