Denmark Top Things To Do
• Go horse riding: this is easily arranged in Denmark, which has horses to hire from riding schools and centres almost everywhere. Many riding schools offer riding holidays with half or full board.
• Stop at a pølsevogn (sausage stall) to savour the nation's favourite snack, the hot dog. These can be found almost anywhere there are people, and at any time of day or night.
• Spoil yourself with a relaxing treatment from a health resort, which are widespread throughout the country. Some offer medical and physiotherapeutic treatment, others simply offer recreation in beautiful quiet surroundings.
• Go fishing - Denmark has excellent facilities for both freshwater and saltwater angling. Sea-fishing tours can be arranged with local fishermen at many Danish harbours.
• Be daring, and go nude bathing. This is quite common at Danish seaside resorts. The only beaches where it is actually prohibited are Henne Strand and Holmsland Klit (both on Jutland's western coast).
• Take to the water - facilities for sailing are excellent: over 500 yachting harbours can be found along the coast, and anchorage is allowed at a further 500 islands.
• Take the kids to Legoland at Billund (website: www.legoland.dk), which is open from April to October. Among many attractions to the park is the popular ‘Dive to Atlantis' themed area.
• Escape from reality: also appealing to the young (and young at heart), Copenhagen's historic Tivoli Gardens fairground (website: www.tivoli.dk) in the city centre is open from late April until September, and is another must-see attraction in the Danish capital.
• Spend a night at the opera in Copenhagen's smart, harbourside Opera House, which opened in 2005. It stages quality international productions throughout the year.
• Trace Denmark's geological history at the Geocenter Møns Klint, which opened in 2007 on Sjælland island (website: www.moensklint.dk). The centre illustrates how the modern land and seascape of the country were formed.
• Play a round of golf. Denmark (whose Thomas Bjørn is one of Europe's best-known golfers) has numerous courses, many of championship standard, among them Holstebro (website: www.holstebro-golfklub.dk), in the northwest, and Simon's (website: www.simonsgolf.dk), a new club north of the capital.
