Established in 1971 this amazing and extraordinary place used to be one of the city parts. It was then taken over by the locals and turned into a children playground, which at that time was a serious protest against the Danish government.

Christiania became a small state within a state governed by its own laws where all people are free to express their feelings and ideas. On September 26, 1971, popular journalist Jacob Ludvigsen proclaimed Christiania “the land of the settlers.”

A small country in the big country — that’s what Christiania, the lonely planet of Denmark, is. The entrance of the town features an interesting welcome note with the words “You are now entering EU.” As you enter, you will momentarily feel the shift form an ordinary world to a world where the hippy culture dominates. If you walk to Pusher Street you will find a lot of people drugging themselves and selling drugs openly, and that’s what they call freedom. Don’t waste your time on trying to make photos there as photo-shooting is strictly prohibited there.

Almost all buildings have unique gratify style paintings on them and each painting stands for some reason and tells its story. Being the second tourist attraction in Copenhagen it’s a bit dangerous place because with the lack of law, it’s hard to keep discipline, that’s why many Danes consider Christiania a place full of crime and drugs.

Note that the inhabitants of Christiania are lovers of yoga and meditation, so there are people who indeed love healthy lifestyle. To me Christiania appears as a place where the creativity is on the highest top.

Christiania has its own flag, which is red with three yellow circles on it. The color choice has its explanation — they say when the original squatters took over the former military base they found red and yellow paint there. There is also a souvenir shop where you can buy many hippy style things and though Danish Krone is accepted here, Christiania has its own currency, Lon. The Freetown has its own local TV and radio named Christiania TV and Radio.

Each year over one million people visit Christiania, which has become the third best tourist attraction in Denmark. I firmly advise you and at the same time I straonly believe you just have to visit this amazing place. The emotions will be unforgettable I guarantee.

The geographical and cultural heart and soul of Copenhagen was founded in 1167 by Bishop Absalon. It then became the base of the future city. Slotsholmen is an island in the center of Copenhagen, and its English name is Castle Island. This island is the nestle of the Danish capital and the location of the parliament. The surroundings are quite calm and peaceful, the restaurants and bars are world-class, therefore I suggest that you visit and try one of the traditional Danish dishes.

Archeologists say Slotsholmen grounds can reveal much about the history of the city because the area on which the island is located has been the power center of Danish Kingdom for many years, especially in medieval times. Numerous bridges connect the island to the city. Initially, the island didn’t have the present-day size. It’s been changed for many times.

Not only the Parliament but also the Supreme Court and Folketinget are situated in Slotsholmen. Opposite the palace you will see Christian IX on his horse protecting the royal palace from everyone. You will also enjoy the amazing garden located in front of the royal library. This little heaven provides everything for tranquility and isolation, so you will definitely enjoy it especially if you appear there in summer. There are various museums on the island and the most renowned is Thorvaldsen Museum with its awe-inspiring sculptures of Danish artists. Other museums worth visiting are Royal Arsenal Museum and Court Theater Museum. Visiting the church of the island is a must. It’s one of the most visited places, hereby don’t hesitate visiting the small miracle.

Walking around Slotsholmen will give you a great opportunity to admire the glaring view of the scenery. While there I wished I were a painter to depict all that beauty on a canvas to keep it alive. But now I am sure my memory will hardly ever forget that.

Those who are fond of activities can go for  bicycling, horse riding, swimming, golf and canoeing.

Don’t miss the sunny and majestic beaches along the coastline of Moen Island. They are one of the best in Denmark. You will  totally enjoy the White Cliffs of Moen, or Moens Klint which is about 5000 years old. This part is very famous for its different types of amateur birds (providing great rest especially during afternoons), original trees and plants. It also provides the best communication with Nature.

Don’t hesitate visiting old manor houses in Moen and churches, which stand there as a historical evidence. They have been there for hundreds of years, so don’t you think they can tell the story of Denmark better than any human? Visitors especially enjoy the Elmelunde Church, which is more than 800 years-old and is the oldest one in the whole island. Don’t forget to visit several museums too. The most renowned ones are the Empiregaarden Museum and the Smykke Museum showing jewelry and crafts. There are also many prehistoric monuments to explore.

This Island seems to be part of this world and yet so isolated from it. It’s absolutely cut from the busy and crowded life of big cities. So decide on your goal. If you need some peace and harmony head to Moen Island.

When in 1949 a carpenter from a small town of Jutland produced  the bricks that we call LEGO people could hardly imagine they would have such big success throughout the world. In 1968 already the first LEGOLAND opened in Billund, Denmark and this fairytale place is situated almost three km away from Billund Airport. Originally the park started as an exhibition of houses and landmarks from around the world all built from LEGO bricks, and now it has over 58 million LEGO bricks with many moving vehicles also made from LEGO.

Here in the land of LEGO you will not only enjoy the fashionable buildings of bricks but also make various rides, visit water parks with their great green surroundings, watch 3D movies and more.

There are also many different ways to get the visitors wet, so there are many surprises waiting for you.

Over the years the Billund Park has added many new sections, which have become permanent fixtures within the park.

A beautiful country, Denmark is a place that should be explored thoroughly to truly appreciate all that it has to offer. However, you might find that no amount of time here is ever enough. Its highlights include clean beaches, green forests and open spaces, a rich history and a love of art and culture.

Consider booking a hotel in Copenhagen, the country’s lively capital city, where you can visit two of the biggest attractions for families of all ages. Start by visiting the old port district of Nyhavn, where just a short stroll from the main cruise pier you will see the monument of the Little Mermaid.

Though the monument itself is tiny – the mermaid is only 4 feet tall – it is one of Copenhagen’s biggest draws and can be reached on foot or by a cruise boat. Unveiled back in 1913, the statue was based on the memorable tale by Hans Christian Anderson.

One tip worth remembering if you are a keen photographer is to be careful how you angle your camera. If you photograph the mermaid from her left side, you will have the rather unattractive Holmen district as a backdrop.

Before you move on from Copenhagen, make sure you dedicate some time to visiting the Tivoli. This large complex is made up of a number of attractions so you are sure to find something to suit the whole family.

With a hotel, concert hall and stunning gardens, there is plenty to do here. For the more sedate, a stroll around the gardens will make for a tranquil afternoon and when you get peckish you can choose from one of the many restaurants found here.

There are also many white-knuckle rides at the Tivoli amusement park and lots of smaller, fun rides for the younger visitors too. Just make sure you buy a multi-ride ticket so that you or your children can revisit your favourite rides again and again.

If you are staying at the hotel, or somewhere nearby, consider going to one of the many shows that are held here. The concert hall hosts performances of theatre, ballet and live music.

Legoland in Billund is an attraction that will please visitors of all ages, but especially the kids. It is the original Legoland, which opened back in 1968 and almost everything is built with the tiny Lego bricks.

It is open from late March to early October, with longer hours during the warmer weather. Make sure you give yourself enough time, though, as there is a lot to see and do.

If you are interested in history, head to the magnificent Kronborg Castle near Helsingor. It is one of Denmark’s most impressive buildings, with a rich history that dates back to medieval times.

Thought to be the inspiration for the setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the castle is positioned on a small strip of water in between Sweden and Denmark. In medieval times, this made it the perfect place for regulating the ships passing through.

Finally, don’t miss out on the lovely island of Bornholm. This gorgeous little island is found just east of Denmark and is also known as the ‘pearl of the Baltic’.Take a flight to the island or visit by ferry to explore the island. If you’re active, there is plenty to see and do here, from discovering the beautiful architecture dating back to the 1800s to exploring the cycle paths and coastal walkways.

The island is easy to get to by either ferry or plane and once here you will find everything easily reachable by either bike, bus or one of the many island taxis.
