The Kingdom of Denmark, is a small country that borders Germany in the south, being the only land connection to the European mainland, it also borders the North Sea in the west, and the Baltic Sea in the east. In addition there are nearly 500 islands, 100 of which are inhabited. Most of Denmark is a lowland of fertile farms, rolling hills, beech woods and heather-covered moors. The landscape itself is the least dramatic of the surrounding areas; Denmark being very green and flat, largely farmland interrupted by countless pretty villages. Denmark’s capital city, Copenhagen, is Scandinavia’s biggest and liveliest city. One of the oldest and most beautiful of the European capitals, it is an important seaport, a commercial hub and a seat of royalty. Copenhagen is also Scandinavia's most affordable capital, and one of Europe's most user-friendly cities, welcoming and fairly small, with a compact, strollable centre largely given over to pedestrians. Visitors can witness the changing of the guard at Copenhagen’s Amalienborg Palace, home of the Royal Family since 1794, or take a trip to the Helligandskirke, one of Copenhagen’s oldest churches. The Tivoli Gardens, located in the heart of Copenhagen is a century-old amusement park and is one of Copenhagen’s most popular attractions, with its thousands of flowers and sparkling bejewelled lights, it is a real-life wonderland of rides, restaurants, and entertainment for young and old. A trip to Copenhagen would not be complete without seeing their most famous icon, the statue of the ‘Little Mermaid’. Other areas of interest when visiting Denmark usually include, Jutland with it’s beautiful natural areas and in contrast, the sophisticated university city of Arhus, and the fertile island of Zealand, a region blessed with dramatic sweeping fjords, lush rolling fields and thousands of miles of sandy beaches, it’s largest city being the capital Copenhagen.
