Denmark is the smallest and southernmost of the Scandinavian countries. Famous fjords and bays, ancient estates and wide wooded plains, many modern cities and provincial towns. And besides, you should definitely see Copenhagen , the pearl of Scandinavia.
In Denmark, great attention is paid to preserving nature in its original form. Windmills that look like they came out of pictures of children's books, the Little Mermaid and unique castles from Andersen's fairy tales. Above the emerald roofs of Copenhagen, blown by the sea winds, rise bronze towers entwined with snake tails and spiral staircases. What other associations do you have when they talk about Denmark?
Denmark is rich in historical and cultural monuments: here you can see monuments from various eras, from Viking times to our time, impressive castles, ancient estates, cozy medieval streets and provincial towns. Archaeological finds, books and art objects are carefully collected in more than 700 museums. Most of them are located in Copenhagen, the capital of the country, a charming city with almost a thousand years of history. The Danish monarchy has been around for almost ten centuries, and its representative, Queen Margrethe II, lives in the capital.
Excursion tours to Denmark - a magical journey to childhood! The fairy-tale spirit of the country does not contradict at all, but on the contrary, it emphasizes the Danes’ passion for ultra-modern architecture. By the way, we advise families traveling to definitely go to the famous Legoland - children will be delighted when they see the “town out of a box” come to life.

Copenhagen is not only the largest and most populous city in the country, but also the greenest city in Europe. Tourists are attracted here primarily by the famous sculpture of the Little Mermaid , Tivoli Park and the beautiful architecture of the old city, and the central pedestrian street is valued for its excellent shopping opportunities. The castles of Copenhagen - Christiansborg, Rosenborg, Amalienborg and Frederiksbor - are traditional symbols and decorations of the capital. In terms of the wealth and abundance of galleries and museums, Copenhagen stands out among the best museum centers in Europe.
