Must-see sights in Denmark

Modern cities and captivating rural landscapes: it is no wonder that this place inspired the greatest storyteller in history.

• Design-oriented, youthful and with its centre turned over almost entirely to pedestrians and cyclists, Copenhagen is considered one of the most liberal and friendly cities in Europe. Wander round the Indre By historic centre and relax on the Nyhavn waterfront with the colourful buildings. Don't forget to visit the imposing Christianborg Palace, the seat of the Danish Parliament.
• Visit the Vikingeskibsmuseet, Denmark's most famous museum. Located in Roskilde, it features five authentic Viking ships raised from the bottom of the sea after 1,000 years.
• Slightly north of Copenhagen is Helsingør, a major ferry port city located on the strait separating Denmark and Sweden. This quiet city is best known for the imposing Renaissance castle of Kronborg, the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
• Built on an island in the middle of crystalline Lake Slotsøen in Hillerød, the beautiful palace of Frederiksborg seems to rise from the water. At one time the royal residence of Danish monarch Christian IV, nowadays it houses Denmark's Museum of National History and features magnificent Baroque formal gardens.
