Imagine staying in a large apartment in Copenhagen or central Rhus; renting a luxury villa in Dueodde on the holiday island of Bornholm; or getting away from it all at a big house on the scenic island of Mon in Lolland-Falster.
Where to Stay in Denmark
It’s not easy choosing where to stay in Denmark, with such a fabulous range of dynamic and historical cities, a beautiful coastline, and diverse rural landscapes.
In Denmark tourists can discover Viking heritage; explore the picturesque islands; go sightseeing in Copenhagen and other historic cities; get tickets for one of the famous Danish summer music festivals; spend time on the world-class, white sandy beaches of the 7,400 km-long coastline; and visit World Heritage Sites such as The Jelling rune stones, Roskilde Cathedral and impressive Kronborg castle in Elsinore – home of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, prince of Denmark.
On the largest island of Zealand, hire a holiday apartments in Copenhagen, the capital, to explore the medieval city and the contrasting modern architecture incorporating world-class designs; see the canals of Christianshavn and Frederiksberg castle; head over to the lively Norrebro neighbourhood; seek out the famous Little Mermaid statue in Sterbro; and enjoy all of the city’s superb shops, cultural venues and nightlife.
If you hire a holiday home in Jutland, Denmark’s European mainland, you can enjoy sightseeing from a holiday apartment in Aarhus, the country’s second largest city, with its brilliant historic Open Air Museum revealing how the city looked in the 1800’s. Or you could find holiday accommodation in Herning to enjoy the spectacular beaches of Jutland’s western coast; and take in the history and architecture of picturesque Aalborg _ or have a night out on the lively Jomfru Ane Gade.
Rent a holiday house on Funen or one of the surrounding islands to explore the picturesque homeland of world-famous author H.C. Andersen, and his childhood house in Odense, Denmark’s third largest city. Drive through lush landscapes, past country manors, and visit the Funen Village open air museum of 18th century farm buildings, or Egeskov Castle, one of the best-preserved Renaissance castles in Europe.
South of Zealand, stay in the Lolland-Falster island region, hiring a holiday villa on Falster, close to excellent beaches. Or you could stay in group accommodation on Mon to take in the scenic countryside, Viking burial mounds and spectacular chalk cliffs – or find a big holiday home on Lolland, which supplies most of the sugar for the country’s famous Danish pastries.
For a real holiday atmosphere, hire a beach villa on Bornholm, the ‘rock’ island that is home to the mystical roundhouse Crusades churches, and some very fine beaches. Explore Ronne, the island’s capital; visit the castle ruin of Hammershus; and discover some of the pretty villages dotted across the island. Visit the forest of Almindingen; Joboland amusement park; the Medieval Centre of Bornholm; the white sandy beaches of Dueodde; the pretty harbour town of Gudhjem; and the well-preserved historic market town of Svaneke, which is home to many artists and their galleries.
