Whe-hey! Up, up and away! This is the place to search if it’s been too long since you last felt that rush. If there’s one thing we really know how to do well in Denmark – it’s amusement parks. Not megaparks where you end up trudging around for hours to get to the next amusement. No Sir! We mean the kind of friendly parks where you don’t feel overwhelmed, but get maximum fun for all the family. This could be our famous Dyrehavsbakken, near Copenhagen, which happens to be the world’s oldest amusement park, but could also be crazy golf here and there in the country.

In this section of Guide Denmark you’ll find all the attractions – the famous and the less well known – laid out, representing the very diversity that makes Denmark so exciting to visit.
