Top summer experiences in Denmark Danes love their holidays, but there is nothing quite like summer. While Danish winters are characterised by cosy days curled up on the couch with a good book, summer time is much more action-packed. Not only is it ideal for camping and outdoor adventures, it is also an opportunity to get a good dose of culture. By Caroline Edwards
July and August are the best months to experience Denmark’s charming landscapes, as the green fields are brightened up by the long-awaited sun and holidayhungry Danes pack up their cars and drive around the country from one adventure to the next. Whether you seek a countryside escape at one of the Danish campsites or feel the pull of the cities’ big attractions, Denmark has something to offer. The first thing you notice about Denmark is its many islands surrounded by sandy
beaches and northern waves. Experience anything from Copenhagen’s home base, the big island of Zealand, to small idyllic gems with traditional houses and pure wilderness. Here, you can enjoy a green holiday with nature at its core. Moreover, you can combine your outdoor pursuits with exciting activities and trips to the cities. Unlike the rest of Scandinavia, Denmark is rather small, making it easy to drive from one part of the country to another. Why not
pay a visit to the country’s top-notch science park where you get to take an active part in scientific experiments and thrilling experiences, before driving through Denmark’s flat, yet magically green landscapes, spending the night in rural bliss in a caravan? In Denmark it’s all possible. With plenty of campsites and holiday lets to choose from, one can simply set up base and combine nature and outdoor activities with city-life and cultural joys. Sounds like a lot to take in? Don’t worry. With Scan Magazine’s ‘Top Summer Experiences in Denmark’ for would-be holidaymakers, you will be taken to all the best spots, from remote hideouts to sociable communities, all the way into the heart of Copenhagen.
