Denmark

Denmark is a small country made up of the Jutland Peninsula and over 500 islands with an abundance of places to visit. From the capital city of Copenhagen where historical royal castles can be found buried amidst the surrounding forestland to the beautiful streets of Odense, birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark truly is a land of fantasy.

Denmark's capital city, Copenhagen, is located in Sjælland, an island bejeweled with ancient castles associated with the northern royal family. Hans Christian Andersen, the literary genius behind some of the world's most famous fairy tales, grew up in the town of Odense in Fyn. Danish spirit provides the visitors with feelings of relaxation and tranquility.
