A few steps from Nyhavn, Rosenborg Castle awaits you for a journey back in time. This ancient royal residence, surrounded by splendid gardens, houses the treasures of the Danish sovereigns, including the sparkling royal crowns.
After touching the history, it’s time to indulge in fun at the Tivoli Gardens, a historic amusement park, opened in 1843, offers attractions for all ages, not to mention the wonderful thematic gardens and numerous live shows.
Copenhagen will surprise you at every corner, with its ability to be simultaneously an open-air museum and a lively urban center.
Following the Vikings’ Footsteps
Denmark, with its thousand-year-old history, invites travelers to immerse themselves in the Viking era, a period rich in myths, legends, and heroic deeds. For those traveling in a motorhome or caravan, following the Vikings’ footsteps becomes a fascinating adventure, which combines the discovery of breathtaking landscapes with a deeper understanding of a culture that has left an indelible mark on the historical fabric of Scandinavia.
Roskilde, one of Denmark’s oldest cities, is an unmissable stop on this journey back in time. Here, the Viking Ship Museum offers the unique opportunity to see authentic Viking ships up close, meticulously recovered from the fjords’ bottoms.
For an even more engaging experience, Jelling is a must-visit destination. This UNESCO site is famous for its runic stones, erected by King Gorm the Old and his son Harald Bluetooth.

Kronborg Castle: Between Legend and History
For lovers of literature and history, Kronborg Castle in Helsingør is a must-visit. Known to many as the setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, this imposing 16th-century fortress stands majestic on Denmark’s narrowest point, where the waters of the Baltic Sea meet those of the Kattegat.
As you walk through the majestic halls and cold crypts, let yourself be transported back in time, imagining the life of knights and ladies who once roamed these corridors. The grandeur of the Great Hall, the detailed frescoes, and the spectacular sea views make Kronborg Castle one of Europe’s most fascinating Renaissance castles.
