“Try to visit The Little Mermaid statue as early as possible to avoid crowds getting in your photo!”

Lasse, Travel Director

Take a walking tour of the iconic sights of Copenhagen

Walking through Copenhagen offers an intimate encounter with this boutique city. Wander the Langelinie promenade to see The Little Mermaid statue and stand in awe at the classical façade of Amalienborg—home of the Danish royal family. Our sightseeing tour in Copenhagen will show you the intricacies beyond the guidebook.
Cruise along the canals of Copenhagen

Nyhavn, the country’s most popular canal, showcases impressive 17th-century townhouses lining the waterfront. Feel the pulse of the harbor front as you cruise along the charming canal. Hear jazz spill out onto the water and watch the locals enjoy a summer drink at one of the many bars and restaurants.
Travel to Odense where Hans Christian Andersen was born

Popular for its rich history and culture—and because it was the birthplace of some of Denmark’s most popular artists—Odense sits high atop the list of things to do in Denmark. Visit the home-turned-museum of famous fairy-tale author, Hans Christian Andersen and wander the studio walls of Jens Galschiot, arguably Denmark’s most famous artist.
Pay tribute to the tragic Little Mermaid

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tale about a mermaid who gives up her life to be with a handsome, land-residing prince, The Little Mermaid was gifted to Copenhagen in1913. Markyour Denmark trip with a visit to the bronze and granite sculpture that stands in its honor, perched on a rock overlooking the harbor.
Stroll through the medieval streets of Randers

Wander the quaint and unassuming streets of Randers and be transported back to its long history as a market town. Randers City is defined by its old-world charm of skewed, medieval buildings that line the shopping streets. Stroll along Houmeden, one of Denmark’s oldest pedestrian streets, for a glimpse of days gone by.

Our top 5 things to do in Denmark

A trip to Denmark with Trafalgar boasts a fusion of history and unique scenery. We'll guide you towards the best Denmark attractions and down charming streets you could stroll forever.

Copenhagen
National Museum of Denmark

The country’s largest museum is an accolade to the Denmark of the past. Artefacts found at the National Museum of Denmark will take you on a journey as far back as 3,000 years. Feel the weight of history as you amble around exhibitions from the Stone Age, Viking times and beyond.
Aarhus
Moesgaard Museum

Experience the life of the dead at a museum solely dedicated to archaeology and ethnography. Exhibitions bring to fruition a past life that is contrasted by the modern Nordic design of the building it sits within. Admire angular lines and cement exterior combined with the grassy, pitch-like roof; a symbol of the contemporary architecture the country is so famous for.
Copenhagen
Danish Museum of Art & Design

Perhaps the best showcase of Nordic design, the Danish Museum of Art & Design offers up works of some of the country’s most famous artists and designers. Attend a constant flow of fascinating exhibitions such as the Porcelain Study Collection, Danish Design Now and The 20th Century. Visit this institution, and you will find an artistic haven in Copenhagen’s historic center.

Best museums in Denmark

With a thriving art scene, some of the world’s most recognized designs and a history that is ingrained in culture, museums are an essential part of our trips to Denmark. Here are just a few we can’t wait to show you.

Smørrebrød

Literally meaning “butter and bread”, smørrebrød is a Danish take on an open-face sandwich. Expect a piece of dense rye bread topped with butter, cold cuts of meat or fish, cheese, spreads and garnishes like pickled herrings. Smørrebrød will quickly become your daily ritual.
Rød pølse

Found in almost every deli and supermarket in Denmark is this boiled, bright red pork sausage. Considered one of Denmark’s national dishes, the rød pølse—which might simply be referred to as a hot dog—is not considered junk food and is deeply ingrained in the country’s gastronomy.
Frikadeller

Danish meatball recipes get passed down through generations like precious pearls of wisdom. This savory ball of ground pork, onions, nutmeg, garlic, a dash of milk and sage is usually served in a rich and creamy gravy. Pair it with potatoes, red cabbage or beets, and you will have yourself a deliciously Danish dish.

Best food in Denmark

Trafalgar takes you right into the heart of Denmark’s culinary culture. Be prepared to try some unusual takes on classic dishes - even the humble sandwich gets redefined by this Scandinavian country.

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 traveling 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 traveling. 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.
