by karakal73

LegolandLegoland, a km north of the small Jutland town of Billund, is a 10-hectare theme park built from plastic Lego blocks, and is not recommended to anyone who fears having their childhood writ both large and Lilliputian in 42 million pieces. Despite being Denmark's most visited attraction outside of Copenhagen, Legoland is Bleckobland unless you've got a preteen entourage or have always wanted to resolve the structural problems of building the Statue of Liberty out of plastic. The most elaborate reconstruction here is the three-million-block Port of Copenhagen exhibit, which features electronically controlled ships, trains and cranes.Legoland's popularity is partially responsible for turning Billund into Denmark's second-busiest airport. You can also get here by bus from Billund or bus from Vejle, to which there are frequent train services.

by karakal73

ÅrhusThe cultural centre of Jutland, Århus is a lively university city with one of Denmark's best music and entertainment scenes - everything from symphony performances and theatre to a thriving night-owl café life. The city's finest attraction is Den Gamle By (Old Town), an open-air museum with 75 restored buildings brought here from around Denmark and reconstructed as a provincial town. Most of the buildings are half-timbered 17th and 18th century houses, but there's also a watermill, a windmill and a few buildings from the turn of the century.The Århus Domkirke cathedral is Denmark's largest church, with its original Romanesque chapel dating back to the 12th century. Most of the remainder of the church is 15th-century Gothic. Vor Frue Kirke has Denmark's oldest chapel, dating from around 1060; the Moesgård museum has notable Bronze and Iron Age collections, as well as an enjoyable...

by karakal73

RibeRibe is the oldest town in Scandinavia, dating back to the 9th century. However, recent excavations have unearthed a number of silver coins, indicating that a market town once existed on the site as far back as AD 700. Incessant wars with Sweden strangled regional commerce, resulting in Ribe's decline as an important medieval trading centre. Its economic decline has, nevertheless, spared it from modernisation. With its crooked, cobbled streets and half-timbered 16th-century houses, visiting Ribe is like stepping into a living history museum.The town's dominant landmark, Ribe Cathedral, stands as a fine testament to Ribe's prominent past. For a lofty view of the countryside, climb 27m up the cathedral's 14th-century tower. Ribes Vikinger is a huge museum with displays of Ribe's Viking and medieval history. One exhibition hall has a reproduction of an AD 800 marketplace, complete with...

by karakal73

Møns KlintThe spectacular white chalk cliffs rise 128m above sea level, presenting one of the most striking landscapes in Denmark. Created 5000 years ago, the cliffs were formed when calcareous deposits were uplifted from the ocean floor. You can walk down the cliffs to the beach and directly back up again in about 30 minutes, or walk along the shoreline in either direction and then loop back up through a thick forest of wind-gnarled beech trees for a hardier walk of about one and a half hours.Møns Klint is located on the island of Møn, south of Zealand, to which it is connected by bridge and serviced daily by bus.

by karakal73

CopenhagenWith a population of nearly 1.5 million, Copenhagen is Scandinavia's largest and liveliest city. It's an appealing and largely low-rise city comprised of block after block of period six-storey buildings. Church steeples punctuate the skyline, with only a couple of modern hotels shooting up to mar the view. The city's foremost historical and cultural sites remain concentrated in a relatively small area, while parks, gardens, water fountains and squares are scattered all over the city. A cosmopolitan city, Copenhagen abounds with sightseeing and entertainment possibilities. For music lovers and other revellers there's an active night scene which rolls into the early hours of the morning.The central railway station is flanked on the west by the main hotel zone and on the east by Tivoli amusement park. Opposite the northern corner of Tivoli is Rådhuspladsen, the city's central...

by gnowk

visit Christiania (in Copenhagen). I actually found this place to be even more liberal than Amsterdam. And you could indulge yourself (if you are into that scene, that is). Remember not to take pictures while you are visiting; the locals in the area don't particularly appreciate it. I have 2 fond memories; one of which would have been running into my friend Jamie, whom I had already visited in Uppsala. The other memory would have been my visit (and stay) with Rod, whom I hadn't seen in a year or so.

SPENT A COUPLE DAYS IN COPENHAGEN AS PART OF A MUSICAL TOUR IN 1976. AS YOU COME INTO PORT YOU SEE THE STATUE OF THE LITTLE MERMAID.PEOPLE ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND WERE FULL OF QUESTIONS FOR US AMERICANS. TIVOLI GARDENS IS AN AWEINSPIRING PLACE TO GO. THE GARDENS HAVE VARIETIES OF FLOWERS THAT I THOUGHT ONLY EXISTED IN GOD'S IMAGINATION!THERE IS ALSO A THEME PARK WITH LOTS OF RIDES AND FIREWORKS. KIND OF THE DANISH VERSION OF DISNEYLAND.
