What to see in Denmark first of all
In their own way, all excursions in Denmark are interesting, but some people like to explore the monuments of history and architecture, others are interested in sports facilities, others adore fishing and outdoor recreation. Our list includes options for tourists with any hobbies, including those that are suitable for a weekend visit to the country.
1. The Little Mermaid Statue (Copenhagen)
Statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen
The capital Copenhagen, located on the island of Zealand, is in fact the main attraction of Denmark itself. The monument to the Little Mermaid, located in the port of Copenhagen, has for some time become a kind of symbol of Denmark. The sculpture, sitting on a granite pedestal, is dedicated to the character of Andersen’s fairy tale, which tells a beautiful love story: a sea beauty, saving a handsome prince from a storm, fell in love with a young man and turned to a sorceress so that, in exchange for her wonderful voice, she gave her legs, and the little mermaid could go ashore. According to the spell, the girl was supposed to make the prince fall in love with her, but if she failed, she was supposed to turn into sea foam. As it turned out, the young man’s heart was taken over by another, and after the expiration of the period given by the spell, the little mermaid died, turning into foam.
The ballet, staged based on a fairy tale in 1906, impressed one of the audience — Karl Jacobsen, who later became famous as the founder of the Carlsberg company. It was on his initiative that the statue of the Little Mermaid was created, which in 1913 took pride of place on the coast of Copenhagen.

One of the most famous and significant religious buildings in the capital was the Church of the Savior. The Protestant church was built at the end of the 17th century during the reign of King Christian IV, and its doors were first opened to the parishioners in 1695. The peculiarity of its architecture becomes noticeable at first glance — it is a long twisted spire, which is so high that it can be seen from almost anywhere in Copenhagen.
Initially, the temple building, built of red brick in the Baroque style, was the most important landmark in Denmark, but only half a century after the completion of construction, it acquired an even more original appearance when the temple was crowned with an unusual spire resembling a bee sting.
The interior of the temple is also amazing.
- For example, an unusual altar made of wood and marble, and unlike the usual iconostases. Or an ancient musical instrument — a huge organ of 3 thousand pipes, which is still in good condition, and you can even enjoy its amazing sound. And every hour the whole neighborhood is enveloped by the ringing of a quadrillon consisting of 48 bells.
3. Tivoli Park (Copenhagen)
A green corner of the huge Tivoli Park
If you are going on a trip with children, you will not have a question about what to visit in Denmark. After all, the Tivoli Amusement Park is the first thing that a young traveler must see with his own eyes. One of the oldest parks in Europe is actually the great-grandfather of all modern amusement parks, including the world-famous Disneyland. And even if there are no super-modern attractions designed with the latest technology, but the beloved high-speed carousels and roller coasters are always open to visitors. Tivoli is a classic of its genre, a real amusement park, as not only we imagine it, but also as it was seen by past generations:
- vintage carousels with cozy and fascinating lighting; a number of street performances; a sea of fireworks, a lake with large fish that can be fed by buying special food right on the spot; a pantomime theater; many good restaurants.
The park is open to the public during the warmer months — from April to September.

4. Rosenborg Castle (Copenhagen)
The former residence of the Danish kings Rosenberg Castle
In the very center of the Danish capital lies the oldest park with an area of about 5 hectares, headed by the most important landmark in Denmark — Rosenborg Castle. The ancient large-scale structure is located in the northwestern part of the park and is surrounded by a moat filled with water around the perimeter. The castle was built by order of King Christian IV in 1624. For a long time, Rosenborg served as a royal residence, and only in 1710 it began to be used for official receptions, and another castle began to serve as a residence, built on the orders of Frederick IV in the suburbs of the capital. In 1838, the doors of Rosenborg were opened to all visitors, royal collections and numerous objects were exhibited here, testifying to the period from the 16th to the 19th century.
The park in which the castle is located is called the Royal Garden — it was created shortly before the construction of the castle itself, so its landscape is decorated with architectural elements in the style of that era – Renaissance. Now the park is extremely popular among tourists and attracts more than 2 million visitors every year.

6. Ehresund Bridge (Copenhagen — Malmo)
The Ehresund Bridge is a tunnel between Denmark and Sweden
Another major attraction in Denmark is the Ehresund Bridge between the Danish capital Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmo, which is a grandiose project that began to come to life in 1995. First of all, the abolition of passport control and simplification of customs control between Denmark and Sweden contributed to the emergence of this project. Having already started the project, workers found 18 unexploded shells from the Second World War in the places where the bridge was installed. During the construction of the bridge, another unexpected problem arose — one of the tunnel segments was skewed due to an error in engineering calculations. Nevertheless, this did not prevent, bypassing all difficulties and eliminating all shortcomings, by August 1999 to complete the construction of a grandiose structure — a bridge-tunnel with a length of 7,845 meters, combining a double-track railway and a four-lane highway.
The Ehresund Bridge has become a masterpiece of modern engineering, causing real admiration for its grandeur. Today, tens of millions of people cross the bridge every year to get to the neighboring country by the shortest route. Thus, the bridge made it possible to bring the borders of the two states closer and significantly reduce the travel time.
7. Museum of Modern Art (Aarhus, central Jutland)
The Museum of Modern Art in Aarhus
Do you want to feel like a lilliput, in front of whom Gulliver appeared from a well-known fairy tale? Then you should see a huge silicone statue of a sitting boy, which is made so naturally that it practically merges with reality. The Museum of Modern Art is a must—visit in Denmark if you happen to be in central Jutland. It was the statue of the boy that became the hallmark of this museum, and the museum itself is so unusual that every visitor after passing through its 10 levels remains under an unusually strong impression. The fact is that the main concept of the museum was its internal organization based on the principle of circles of hell, purgatory and paradise, described in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Thus, the visit begins with the lower floors with an “infernal” entourage, and the top of the structure is crowned with a transparent rainbow halo, from inside of which you can observe the surrounding panorama of the city.
The museum was opened not so long ago, in 2004, but has already managed to gain fame not only among local residents, but also, of course, among guests of the city and the country. Here you will find a huge variety of expositions — surprising, exciting, amazing, frightening and even shocking. Unique collections of paintings, graphics, sculptures, sound and video installations, creative experiments — all this is concentrated on the museum area of 17 thousand square meters.m.

Connoisseurs of historical sites with a rich chronicle of events will definitely find something to visit in Denmark — fortunately, there are a lot of historical monuments here. These include the Nyhavn district, one of the most vibrant and colorful in Copenhagen. Back in the 17th century, a canal was dug here connecting the city with the sea and leading from the Royal Square to the main city port, and around the same time many bright buildings with fancy pointed roofs were erected, which have preserved their appearance to the present day. The storyteller writer Hans Christian Andersen lived and worked in three of them at different times. Cozy restaurants intersperse with ancient buildings, where you can appreciate the taste and variety of local dishes. There are many ancient wooden ships moored near the shores of the canal.

14. The Museum of H. H. Andersen (Odense)
The G.H. Andersen Museum in Odense
There is an amazing place in the Danish city of Odense that allows you to immerse yourself in a good old fairy tale. The ancient, once poor neighborhood has been restored and put on public display as an expensive antique toy. It is here that the fabulous, literally, landmark of Denmark, the Hans Christian Andersen Museum, is located. The modest yellow house with red tiles, where the great writer was born, was once the haven of a young couple – the parents of the future storyteller, who lived in poverty, but in endless love for each other, as the writer himself said.
Today, the Andersen Museum has become a part of the city, or rather its historical district, where the same small and bright houses flaunt, the same bright flowers grow under their windows, the cobblestone pavement is laid out in the old way. Everything inside the museum house is fascinating – from interiors, paintings based on the writer’s fairy tales, to his personal belongings. And in an open theater right in front of the museum, scenes from famous fairy tales are played out, and grateful viewers watch the performances nearby, right on the grass.

15. Roskilde Cathedral (Roskilde, New Zealand)
Roskilde Cathedral – the tomb of the Danish kings
Christian IV Chapel in Roskilde Cathedral in Denmark Slaunger
The Cathedral in Roskilde is the main cathedral of the country, a vivid example of the Gothic style, an object of world cultural heritage, and for travelers it is a good option to see in Denmark. The cathedral, which became the tomb of all Danish kings, is located in eastern Denmark, on the island of Zealand.
This is the first Gothic cathedral built of brick, and the way it was built served as an example for the spread of this architectural style throughout northern Europe. The construction was started in 1170 by the founder of Copenhagen, Bishop Absalon. In the 13th century, the construction of the temple was continued, and it was then that the original Romanesque style was replaced by Gothic features characteristic of that time — two spires erected during that period serve as confirmation of this.
Since the 14th century, the cathedral has become the tomb of the Danish monarchs, who from that moment began to be buried in ornate sarcophagi, both on the territory of the cathedral and beyond.
The history of the altar in the cathedral deserves special attention — it was originally intended for another castle — Frederiksborg, but was installed here. The paintings of the altar convey scenes of the life of Jesus Christ, from birth to the crucifixion.
It was thanks to the appearance of this cathedral that Roskilde became considered the spiritual capital of Denmark.

21. Runestones (Yelling)
Runestones behind glass cases in the Alicudi Yelling
Denmark, whose nature still preserves the ancient monuments of mankind, is known for one unique attraction — historical inscriptions carved on large natural stones. These are the so—called runestones – mute evidence of the thousand-year history of the country. The largest and most famous of the runestones can be seen in the village of Yelling, on the territory of the Yelling Church between the burial mounds. Two opposing religions seem to have converged here at one point, and two stones are living evidence of this: one of them is completely carved with pagan inscriptions, the other with Christian ones. The creation of a small pagan stone dates back to about 955 A.D., the creation of a large Christian stone — no earlier than 965 A.D. A color copy of the latter can be seen today in the national Museum.
22. Cape Grenen (Skagen)
View from the south side of the sandy beach of Cape Grenen on the Jutland peninsula
Northern Denmark, whose photo reflects the unique features of its landscape, has its own interesting places. One of these places is Cape Grenen, located a few kilometers from the city of Skagen. The peculiarity of the geographical position of the cape is that it is located at the junction of two currents, which formed a long sand spit extending 4 kilometers deep into the sea. Due to its unusual position, the cape has long been considered a dangerous place, characterized by very high sea waves, so the first lighthouse was erected here in the 16th century. The local flora and fauna are no less peculiar — for example, Grenen is an ideal place to observe migrations of birds of prey. There are two museums on the cape — a military museum from the Second World War, and an art museum with a collection of paintings.
23. Bornholm Island (Hovedstaden)
Houses on the coast of Bornholm island Lilly M
Some sights of Sweden and Denmark are located on the border of these states. These include the island of Bornholm, which is separated from the Swedish coast by only a few kilometers of sea space. This place is ideal for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Among the recommended places to visit on the island, it is worth highlighting the ruins of Hammerhus Castle — one of the largest Northern European fortresses, the Bornholm Museum dedicated to the history of the island, the Paradisbackern area with rocky landscapes and rift valleys, a number of round medieval Romanesque churches. And the island’s landscapes themselves are an attraction: valleys with lush vegetation alternate with rocky massifs, and the stone coast is washed by the calm waters of the Baltic Sea.
24. The white cliffs of the Isle of Men (Baltic Sea)
The high rocky massif “White Rocks” on the island of Men in the Baltic Sea Chad K
Harsh, dramatic, magnetic landscapes of northern nature, with its pristine mixed forests, mountainous landscapes, rocky islands, unite a number of Northern European countries. That is why the natural attractions of Finland, Sweden and Denmark have their own unique features. Thus, the rocky coast of the island of Men is a characteristic monument of Danish nature. A unique feature of this area is the bright white hue of the rocks: over millions of years, the dead mollusks gradually formed a Cretaceous layer on the ocean floor, which later came to the surface as a result of the movement of giant glaciers and formed a hill. The sea waters undermined the shore, forming an amazing miracle of nature — snow-white rocks.
25. The Faroe Islands

Winter is the perfect time to travel “to the ends of the earth” to see the northern nature in all its power and severity. If you are wondering what to see in Denmark in winter, include in your itinerary a visit to the Faroe Islands — the northern treasure, which is often given the status of an Icelandic landmark, although officially these lands belong to Denmark. Here, fantastic nature unfolds in front of travelers in its pristine, sedate, restrained, magical: These are deep calm lakes, dizzying fjords, mysterious gorges, stormy waterfalls, coastal cliffs slumbering in misty clouds. Each island of the archipelago is unique and is an attraction in itself.
