Denmark
From wide beaches to rolling hills
Denmark, so much more than just Copenhagen
Denmark is a country full of fond memories for us. Tessa spent half a year in Copenhagen as an Erasmus student, so she knows the city very well. Together with Sander, she explored the charming nearby towns, and later they traveled further through Scandinavia. With our parents, they also discovered other parts of the country: from wide sandy beaches to rolling green hills. Denmark feels like a place where there’s always something beautiful to experience.
About Denmark
Denmark is known for its charming coastal towns, rolling landscapes, and cozy atmosphere. The country is made up of numerous islands, connected by bridges and ferries. You’ll find historic castles, colorful houses, and endless cycling routes. The Danes take pride in their design, hygge (coziness), and environmentally conscious lifestyle. Beyond the vibrant city of Copenhagen, places like Aarhus, Odense, and the Wadden Islands are also well worth a visit.
