What do you think of when you hear Denmark? Perhaps this is the image of the little mermaid, the various lighthouses, harbors, wind farms or the many extensive beaches. Or maybe you are thinking of the Viking Age where ancestors of the Danes traveled all over the world. Denmark has it all! The Netherlands and Denmark are close to each other. A holiday to Denmark is ideal if you don’t want to be too far from home! <\/span><\/p>

Denmark – also called Danmark in Danish – has Copenhagen as its capital and is located in Scandinavia. Denmark is the southernmost of the Nordic countries. Of Denmark’s nearly 5.9 million inhabitants, the largest share lives in urban areas such as Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense. <\/span><\/p>

This country has a total area of 43,094 km\u00b2 and is therefore slightly larger than the Netherlands! As part of the European Plain, Denmark consists almost entirely of lowlands. Another advantage during your holiday in Denmark: the sun shines brighter here than in the Netherlands. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Denmark mainly consists of the Jutland peninsula and the three large islands of Funen, Zealand and Lolland. These four areas together cover an area of 43,094 km2 and consist of approximately 1.6% water, rivers and lakes. In total there are almost 5.9 million inhabitants in this country. A resident of Denmark is also referred to as ‘Dane’.<\/span><\/p>

Geographically and culturally, the Netherlands and Denmark are close to each other. This means that the Netherlands and Denmark trade a lot with each other. The main products sold by the Netherlands to Denmark are telecom proposals and fruit and vegetables. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Every country has its own culture and has its own customs and dishes. Danes are called the Burgundians of Scandinavia. Despite the fact that many Danes love good food, it is often said that they do not have enough time to prepare their own food every day. You therefore see an enormous growth in the demand for convenient food, gluten- and lactose-free products. Are you going on holiday to Denmark and want to try typical Danish dishes? Sm\u00f8rrebrood is a typical Danish lunch dish and worth trying! Prefer traditional dinner? <\/span><\/p>

In addition to traditional dishes, Denmark also has a number of don’ts in behavior. The first unwritten rule is ‘don’t overdo it’. So get down to business right away and don’t pretend to be anything other than that. In addition, using mobile phones during your business lunch is a real no-go. The second unwritten rule is not to start talking about negative things about Danish culture, royal family and EU policy. Finally, Danes like to make their appointments at least a month in advance. Keep this in mind when you go on holiday to Denmark! <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Do you like walking? The top of the dune R\u00e5bjerg Mile, resembles a mini-desert. With approximately 2 square meters and 40 meters in height, this mini-desert is the largest walking dune in Northern Europe. The landscape changes quickly due to the changing weather conditions. Also great for a holiday in Denmark with children! Take off your shoes because it is quite mullet in many places. <\/span><\/p>

Do you want to visit different places? Denmark holiday tip for you is to seek out island life in the South Funen archipelago. South of Funen are no fewer than sixty different islands, each with its own character. But a few of these islands are inhabited. You can easily reach a large part of the islands via a bridge or by ferry. Are you going on holiday in Denmark with children? Cast out your fishing rod and catch your own meal. Or get in a kayak or canoe together and explore the beautiful surroundings!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Northern Denmark shows you the most beautiful beaches, light, untouched nature, space and tranquility! Wonderful to go on holiday to Northern Denmark for beach lovers, peace seekers, nature lovers and holidaymakers who like to be busy. <\/span><\/p>

In Northern Denmark, visit the lighthouse Rubjerg Knude. What is special about this lighthouse? Due to the waves that beat against the land, part of the cliffs on which the lighthouse stands is constantly crumbling. For a long time it was thought that the lighthouse would collapse. Fortunately this did not happen and you can still visit the lighthouse during your holiday in Northern Denmark! Don’t forget to order a local beer with your food!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Did you know that South Denmark is less than 600 kilometers away from Utrecht? Would you like to experience the so-called ‘black sun’ in S\u00f8nderjylland? The black sun is created by a large flock of starlings that gather to spend the night in the reed beds. Or go on a seal safari on the Wadden Sea! Fun outing for the whole family! You can also go on multi-day hikes in Southern Denmark, for example along the Gendarmenpad or Marskstien. Plenty to do during your visit to South Denmark!<\/span><\/p>
