Bornholm

by solopes

In my first visit to Bornholm I got the idea that it is a place where locals go in search of nature and beach. My idea is also that the waters must be so cold that... brrrrr. I've been there in a sunny (cold) day of Fall, and that didn't happen, either. I will visit it again in September, and will try to have a deeper look. This time I will fly, despite the curious way to take the ferry: Leave Copenhagen by a tunnel, that becomes a bridge entering Sweden from where the ferry leaves to Bornholm's island. Complex but functional! I did fly, I did have time to see more things in Bornholm, and several pages were made in detail.

Copenhagen.

by cachaseiro

Copenhagen is without doubt the biggest tourist attraction in Denmark and you should try to spend at least a couple of days there.It´s a city that is big enough to seem international but small enough to reatin the charm of a small place.The city is an old historical city that also has a very modern vibe to it with a lot of new groundbreaking architecture and it has in recent years become a favorite with the hip crowd.Copenhagen is also a city that is very popular with gay travellers because of the easygoing danish attitude towards homosexuals, so you need not to worry if you are gay.

Copenhagen

by lbhspatriot

Copenhagen is a must see when you are in Denmark, as it is one of the most remarkable and energy sufficient cities I've evern been to! The city is located actually on two islands (most people think it's one) - the one we all know about is Zealand and another, much smaller Amager. Although the Amager part of the town seems a little more "shabby" and is a perfect introduction to the industrial part of the area that later on transfers to Malmo. I enjoyed my stay in Copenhagen, there is definately a lot to do in the metropolitan city with it's nearly 2mln population. It is also young and fresh and as I mentioned before extremely energy sufficient! The Opera House built recently is solely dependable on solar power and so are the cities street lights and lanterns! Copenhagen is a great example that you can benefit both from wind and sun - I find it fascinating! Of course there are many things...

Legoland

by lbhspatriot

The Legoland in Billund is actually the original Legoland park that opened in 1968. The Park is located next to the original Lego factory .I think Legoland Parks are known all over the world - not only by Lego enthusiasts but by all people. It seems mostly to be a family attraction, so people with children will feel right at home. But We (my fiancee and I) at the age of 24 enjoyed it as much as the kids! Even though it was raining the whole day! Actually it was pretty fun, because the park sells raincoats (yello - lego color) and there are special walk in hmm "houses" (kinda like phone booths) that work like giant hairdryers were you can get yourself warm and dry!There are many rides and attractions in the Park. The famous "Miniland" that depicts not only whole of Copenhagen, but many other places in the world: NASA, China, Hollywood etc. It is great to see the world in minature! There...

Copenhagen

by grayfo

Copenhagen is the liveliest of the Scandinavian capitals, with many things to see and do all the time. With Europe’s longest pedestrian mall, it is also the first to offer street after street free of motor vehicles and exhaust fumes. As well as being the capital and largest city in Denmark, Copenhagen is also the country's largest tourist destination.December 1975See My Travel Page for more information.

Elsinore Castle

by solopes

This romantic castle, in Kronborg, a few kilometers north of Copenhagen, is a beautiful visit, and, in your way, an opportunity to see how the inhabitants of Copenhagen deal with nature. The fields denounce the care and pleasure felt by the people cultivating them. In the castle, history and literature blend well.
