Product Information

Bike riding is a way of life on Denmark’s flat streets, and Copenhagen is known as the most bike-friendly city in the world. The Danish ride bikes any time of the year and in any weather. You can even find Mikkeler bars in other countries around the world with their beer also now being sold globally, but there are plenty of other craft beer bars around the country that are just as good. 36. Christiania Freetown Christiana is an autonomous anarchist district in the capital city of Copenhagen. It was established in 1971 at an abandoned military base by hippies who broke in to squat there. The community gained notoriety for nearly 50 years for its open cannabis trade. Today, the 900 liberal, alternative thinking residents discourage drug activity in what was once known as the Greenlight District. The vehicle-free community features music venues, restaurants, and souvenir shops. 9. Northern Europe’s Largest Music Festival

Did you know that Denmark has what is officially recognised as the oldest flag in the world? Well, it’s true and it’s definitely something that this country has as a claim to fame. There’s no question that the euro has made traveling around Europe much easier. However, not every member state of the EU accepts the euro, with Denmark being one such example. That said, don’t think that you have to eat at the very highest end restaurants to get a true Danish experience. After all, one of the things that Denmark is famous for is, believe it or not, hot dogs. Simply put, smørrebrød is an open faced sandwich – although it’s also so much more than that. This is especially the case in recent years when when that humble piece of Danish bread, usually full of seeds and other goodness, has now become topped with almost anything you can think of stop It’s not strictly Scandinavian – the concept is very similar to “tall poppy syndrome” in Australia and New Zealand, for example – but is a good, if not slightly harsh, way to explain a key part of Scandinavian culture. 46. Øresund BridgeWith Denmark having been ruled by the Vikings for hundreds of years as well as being the place from which they launched many of their most famous raids, particularly on the UK, it’s easily one of the most famous things in Denmark.

The best way to describe it is to imagine a cold and rainy day (not so rare in Copenhagen!) and so you light some candles, put out a blanket, pour a glass of red wine or some hot chocolate and spend the afternoon reading or just chatting with a friend. Something that may not be something that Denmark is famous for but that you’ve almost certainly used is Google Maps. Specifically, brothers Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen co-founded a mapping start-up (along with two Australians) that was ultimately bought by Google.Janteloven – or “the Law of Jante” – is not only something that Denmark is famous for but also the other Scandinavian countries. For its size in the world, Denmark is an impressive forerunner in renewable energy. In fact, 30 percent of the nation’s energy use comes from renewable sources. The Danish have long put their constant breezes and blustery winds to work, and you’ll spot windmills in the seas between the islands. Today, wind production in Denmark is higher than any other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country. Denmark also utilizes bioenergy, solar, and geothermal energy. 21. Royal Danish Porcelain But what makes this bridge something that both Sweden and Denmark is famous for is how cool it looks. Half of the bridge is above the water, as normal, but the other half is actually underwater. When you look at the bridge, it almost looks like the trains are charging straight into the water, although no train passengers have drowned yet.

Like much of Scandinavia, the healthcare system in Denmark is essentially free, but citizens and residents alike are able to take advantage of the system at virtually no cost to themselves. No matter which time of year you visit Copenhagen, the Tivoli Gardens shouldn’t be missed. While they’re primarily an amusement park, including that it has the oldest roller coaster in the world (don’t worry, it’s very safe), the gardens and other surroundings are also pretty spectacular. Jens was also the designer of the Google Maps pin to point to a specific location. So whenever you’ve been trying to tell a friend where you are and send them a map point, you can thank Denmark for that! 57. World’s largest producer of insulin But after that is what it gives even better. That is, each parent has the right to 32 weeks parental leave. Each parent can share the same amount of leave between them or only one parent can take the entire period. if they choose to share, they can even take the leave at the same time or in periods one after the other. While the official language of Denmark is English, with both Greenlandic and Faroese being minority languages that also have official status in Greenland and the Faroe Islands respectively, you’ll be amazed at how widely English is spoken here.In particular, if you plan to visit around Christmas, the Christmas markets at the Tivoli Gardens are some of the best in the country. The lights and overall atmosphere are like something straight out of a fairytale and will certainly give you the winter wonderland you’re looking for from your Scandinavian trip.
