Honeymoon Tours Travel

Denmark is a peaceful and pleasant place. Its landscape islargely green, flat, and rural - with a host of half-timbered villages reminiscent of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. It is an easy country to visit - not only do the majority of Danes speak English, but they are friendly and extremely hospitable. Above all, the pace of life is not as frenetic as in some European mainland countries.

Denmark consists of no fewer than 405 islands and the Jutland peninsula, which extends north from Germany. Located as it is between Scandinavia proper and mainland Europe, Denmark not surprisingly shares characteristics with both. It has the least dramatic countryside of the Scandinavian countries, yet there are also a number of important Viking sites clotted throughout the land. Zealand, the largest island, is the focal point for Denmark's 5.3 million inhabitants, a quarter of whom live in Copenhagen. Funen is a much more tranquil island, its sanely beaches popular with Danish youth. The Jutland peninsula has Denmark's most varied scenery, with marshland and desolate moots alternating with agricultural land.
