MAIN Travel Tourist Attractions Europe Denmark

Regularly voted as "the happiest place on earth" in terms of health and prosperity, Denmark offers a lively mix of centuries-old culture and modern amenities.

In today's Denmark, fierce Viking history and medieval architecture are starkly contrasted with the Denmark of sleek design, a progressive social welfare system, and a tolerant "no worries" attitude.

Top Denmark attractions include its 600-year old capital, Copenhagen offering unique shopping experiences in one of the world's largest pedestrian malls, and the famous fun and enchantment of Tivoli Gardens.

Tourists to the "city by the sea" must not depart before getting off a shot of the much-photographed and often vandalized Mermaid statue.

Other "must-sees" around Denmark are the Egeskov Castle and grounds; a trip back in time to cobbled streets and half-timbered houses in Denmark's oldest city, Ribe; and the spectacular white chalk cliffs at Mon Klint.

For beer lovers the Carlsberg Visitors Center in Valby offers a bit of history and tasting tours of the national brew.
