Voted in 2008
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 (above).
Other "must-sees"
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.
