Best Places To Visit In Denmark

If you’re considering visiting Denmark, you’ll be rewarded with a country that is overflowing with a rich history, vibrant surroundings, amazing architecture, etc. Located in Northern Europe, here are the best places to visit in Denmark.

  • Copenhagen
  • Helsingør
  • Aarhus
  • Humlebæk
  • Roskilde

Copenhagen

When talking about the best places to visit in Denmark, it’s easy to start off with the capital city – Copenhagen. The city is a cultural and historical hub that you must explore when visiting Denmark. Castles such as Frederiksborg are full of history and are a tourist’s dream.

If you’re visiting Denmark with family, you can treat them to Scandinavia’s most popular theme park; Tivoli Gardens which is home to a variety of rides, concerts, and theatres. You can even stop for some ice cream (for the kids!).

We will give you a heads up, there are water rides which will wet your clothes but our dry-cleaning services can help you with that!

Helsingør

If you love literature, you’ll love Helsingør. The town of Helsingør is significant historically because of its Shakespearean past and is one of the best places to visit in Denmark. The Kronborg Castle is popular among tourists and will make you feel part of a fairytale! The castle was the setting of William Shakespeare’s play; Hamlet. Wherever you go in Helsingør, it’s full of culture from museums, churches, and elegant palaces like the Fredensborg Palace.

Aarhus

Aarhus is a must when visiting Denmark. Originally starting as a Viking settlement in the eighth century, the city today is a major attraction with a vibrant city atmosphere, and it was named a European Capital of Culture in 2017. You’ll want to make sure your camera is ready because there are plenty of colourful buildings that will be great for your Instagram feed! An iconic spot to visit in Aarhus is the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum. You don’t have to be an art-lover to appreciate the sculpture of this gorgeous museum!

If you want to have a relaxed day, you can always visit the parks in Aargus Botanical Gardens and picnic there with your family! If you make a mess on your picnic mat or drop food on your clothes, Laundryheap has got you covered!

Humlebæk

Humlebæk is a small town that is worth visiting in Denmark. The town’s main attraction is the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art which is celebrated by artists and lovers of art regularly. What makes this museum popular is that it displays the works of famous artists such as Pablo Picasso, Yves Klein etc.

After you’ve visited the museums, the town also offers must-try coffees at the Louisiana Café. If you’re visiting Denmark and humlebæk in the summer, sit back, enjoy your coffee and get your camera ready to take pictures of the views from the café!

Roskilde

We’ve mentioned Denmark’s rich history but one of the best places to visit in Denmark is Roskilde. Formerly Denmark’s capital city, Roskilde would amaze tourists who are keen to learn more about Vikings because you can visit the Viking Ship Museum and step back into time and relive the Vikings Era (don’t worry, it’s all educational fun!).  

Roskilde also prides itself on hosting a music festival, the largest in Northern Europe. If you want to just vibe and sing out loud at the festivals, you are in the right place!

Visiting Denmark should be on your bucket list. Book your flights, experience the vibrant cities, visit the beautiful parks, and explore the city’s history through museums and castles!

Top Coventry tourism spots

Coventry is a West Midlands city that was founded in the Middle Ages. It is the 9th largest city in England, and brimming with must-see tourism spots.

  • Coventry music museum 
  • Allesley park 
  • Bagot’s castle 
  • Brandon Marsh nature reserve
  • St Michael’s tower climb

Coventry music museum

The Coventry music museum is an independent museum celebrating the unique music stylings in Coventry and its surrounding areas. It is the life-long vision of music historian and journalist Pete Chambers and his wife Julie. As you travel through the museum you are transported through the decades, exploring the vast music scene that is at the heart of Coventry. Admission is £4 for adults and £1 for children, with concessions only paying £2. These admission fees, and any other generous donations given by the public, are used to maintain the museum and its incredible exhibits. 

Allesley park 

Allesley park is a picturesque and historic nature experience. In the 13th century, it was used as a deer park, but now visitors can enjoy the rolling hills and unspoiled green space at their leisure. Nestled within Allesley park is a wide variety of fun activities to keep the whole family entertained, including an 18-hole golf course, a 9-hole crazy golf course, and a children’s play area. If you are visiting Coventry on a warm summer’s day, Allesley park is a great location for family fun. 

Bagot’s castle

For those who enjoy history, Bagot’s castle will prove to be an interesting experience. The castle itself lies in ruins, however, the original building is believed to have been constructed in the 11th century at the time of King Henry the first. In the late 1300s, the castle was rebuilt by Sir William Bagot who entertained many distinguished guests, including Henry IV. Bagot’s castle has remained derelict since the 16th Century, however, in recent years, has had a renewed interest. When you visit the castle today, you can explore the ruins, as well as enjoy a woodland walk, and visit the Bagot goats, a rare breed of goat known to have been around since the late 1300s.

Brandon Marsh nature reserve

If you love being surrounded by nature, then the Brandon Marsh nature reserve is a Coventry spot you don’t want to miss. Spanning 92 hectares, Brandon Marsh is well known for the quality of its reedbeds, pools, and woodlands. As such, it attracts a huge variety of birds and wildlife for guests to observe. Once you have trekked the reserve, you can head to The Badger’s Kitchen to unwind and relax with tea and cake, whilst watching the birds fly on live nestcams.

St Michael’s tower climb

For the best views in Coventry, put on your comfiest shoes and take on the St Michael’s tower climb. Open seven days a week, excluding bell ringing sessions, you can take the 180 step climb at any point on your Coventry trip, and admire the stunning view of Coventry and its surrounding countryside. After you’ve taken on the tower, you can wander around the rest of Coventry cathedral, including the ruins of the medieval parish church and surrounding grounds.
