Straddling the border between Scandinavia and continental Europe, Denmark packs majestic castles, pristine beaches, and thriving nightlife onto the compact Jutland peninsula and its network of islands. Vibrant Copenhagen boasts the busy pedestrian thoroughfare of Strøget and the world’s tallest carousel in Tivoli Gardens, while beyond the city, fairytale lovers can tour Hans Christian Andersen’s home in rural Odense. In spite of the nation’s historically homogenous population, its Viking past has given way to a dynamic multicultural society that draws in visitors as it turns out Legos and Skagen watches.
