We kick off with a little orientation drive, and I&#8217;d have to say that it\u2019s one of my favourite moments on a tour. Us Travel Directors all do it differently but I prefer to drive to Nyhavn for everyone to take some pictures. Nyhavn is one of the best places in and around Copenhagen that really shows how Denmark is a fairytale country. Hans Christian Andersen was Danish, born in Odense and actually lived in three different houses in Nyhavn. The inspiration for his fairytales? Surely Nyhavn played into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taste-a-local-treat-called-flodeboller\">Taste a local treat called fl\u00f8deboller<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I always bring a little Danish local treat to Nyhavn called fl\u00f8deboller. I highly recommend you try them when you&#8217;re here to experience Denmark. Guests love them and I think it\u2019s a great memory to enjoy local Danish treats while looking at stunning scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/nordic-adventure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nordic Adventure<\/a> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-out-for-bicycles\">Watch out for bicycles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/07\/denmark-bicycle-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-869920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/denmark-bicycle-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/denmark-bicycle-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/denmark-bicycle.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For someone planning to visit for the first time, my top local tip is: watch out for bicycles &#x1f923;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biking is part of life for the Danes, and we ride fast. To really experience Denmark, one of the best things to do is hire a bike and see all of the city in a couple of hours. Denmark, and especially Copenhagen, is flat as a pancake. We have a saying that you can stand on a crate of Carlsberg (Danish beer and probably the best in the world) and see the ocean from anywhere in the country. You can never be further away than 50km from the sea in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taste-local-danish-pastries\">Taste local Danish pastries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Danish pastries are a must, and my favourite is the oversk\u00e5ren. In Denmark we call it wienerbr\u00f8d. The story is that in 1850 Danish bakers went on strike and the bakeries had to hire foreign bakers. In came the Austrian bakers from Vienna who brought their pastries and adapted it to the Danish tastes. Danish bakers then brought these sweets to USA, and it&#8217;s therefore called a \u201cdanish\u201d in English, but in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Faroe Islands it&#8217;s called wienerbr\u00f8d. All bakeries have different kinds of danish pastries, there isn&#8217;t just one, there are probably close to 100 different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED BLOG: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/tag\/christmas-markets-in-denmark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Christmas markets in Denmark<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-snack-on-smorrebrod\">Snack on sm\u00f8rrebr\u00f8d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/07\/smorrebrod-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-869921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/smorrebrod-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/smorrebrod-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/smorrebrod.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to try is our sm\u00f8rrebr\u00f8d \u2013 open faced sandwiches on rye bread. We eat that for lunch every day, but if you get it at a restaurant it&#8217;s much fancier than what we have in our lunch box. There are so many different toppings to have on the bread, but we have traditions of when to eat what. We always start with fish, Denmark is surrounded by water so we eat a lot of fish. Herring, plaice, eel, smoked salmon, shrimps\u2026 Then we go to meats like frikadeller, leverpostej with bacon, pork tenderloin, potatoes, cold cuts\u2026 And then cheese to finish it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visit-dragor-where-i-spent-my-summers\">Visit Drag\u00f8r, where I spent my summers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent my summers in Drag\u00f8r as a child as my grandmother had a summer house. My brother and I would go during the summer when our parents had to work and we were on school break. We always walked down to the old town and got ice cream in the evening, and I still do that every time I visit, also on tour &#x1f929;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This town is where I would take any guest who comes to Copenhagen. It&#8217;s a tiny fishing village that is the best preserved of its kind in Scandinavia from the 17th century. Trafalgar visits it as an optional experience called Green Hills and Hygge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I take guests on a little walking tour where I tell old sailors wife&#8217;s tales and connect the history between Denmark and Sweden, which is now joined by the nearby \u00d8resund bridge. Then we have dinner at a local restaurant with all Danish sm\u00f8rrebr\u00f8d (open faced sandwiches). There&#8217;s chicken and asparagus mayo, fried plaice (flat white fish), roast pork with crackling and red cabbage, and a Danish cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/scenic-scandinavia-and-its-fjords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-continue-the-fairytale-trail-in-odense\">Continue the fairytale trail in Odense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of fairy tales, there\u2019s no better spot to visit than the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. We take a walking tour of Odense, the city he was born in and where he lived until he was 14. Throughout the city find many statues and sites that are connected to him. I always tell guests the story of the steadfast tin soldier as well before we arrive into the city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visit-one-of-the-oldest-amusement-parks-in-the-world\">Visit one of the oldest amusement parks in the world&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/07\/Tivoli-Gardens-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-869918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Tivoli-Gardens-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Tivoli-Gardens-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Tivoli-Gardens.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tivoli Gardens is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. According to my stats, only Bakken, which is about 15km north of the city, is older. Tivoli is magical. It&#8217;s a place for everyone to experience in Denmark whether you&#8217;re five years old or 90 years old.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located between the town hall and central station, this fairytale amusement park and garden is the centre of Copenhagen. There are rides for the kids and lots of small boutique shops and restaurants, plus it\u2019s just a five-minute walk from our hotel with Trafalgar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Created in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitdenmark.com\/\">Visit Denmark<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Are you planning a trip to Denmark soon?
