The Scandinavian nation of Denmark boasts a long, proud history and is a modern beguiling destination for visitors looking for a cultural break. Home to just five and a half million people, the relatively small nation makes up a large peninsula jutting out of northern Europe (perfectly names as Jutland) and a number of islands.

The largest island, Zealand, is unique in housing the only European capital not on its country's mainland, Copenhagen. The Danish capital makes up over a third of the country's population and is renowned as a culinary destination with some of the world's finest restaurants in residence. Copenhagen also has a great deal of cultural attractions such as the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek art museum, the Danish National Gallery, or the Arken Museum of Modern Art. The country is remarkably flat, which makes it an ideal destination for a walking or cycling holiday. Which is perfect as Danes love their bikes!
