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
Attractions include all the places, features and events that are worth going to see or try out – and these can be places you pay an admission to get into, but equally all the free fun to be had in the countryside. 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.
You don’t actually have to be an architect to appreciate the beauty of a fine building. But you will find far more than major monuments in this mine of information. Try the advanced search facility for samples of the many exciting things to look up. How about city gates, squares, water mills, vicarages and pedestrian streets?
