Denmark

Denmark is cozy. Denmark is sunny. Denmark is your home. Get ready to explore this beautiful country with MLMT.

Windows overlooking lazy, sunsets. Sunsets that showcase the entire spectrum in mere minutes. Castles that make you push your chin up into the air. Castles that transport you to royalty. The night gets closer to you. In the distance, stars look out for you. A fire crackles with energy and embraces you. Keeps your spirits warm. A sigh escapes your lips. Denmark is cozy. Denmark is sunny. Denmark is your home.

Denmark makes a point to reach out to simplicity. The grandeur of Denmark will not stop you in your tracks. It will not stun you momentarily. It will latch on to you as you walk away. Always wondering what it was that got you. There is just something about Denmark.

When to visit?

People often refer to May and June as the best months to visit Denmark. Longer days, fewer people and perfect skies. September is another such time. Cyclists get excited this time of the year. National cycle routes and surfers head out to the west coast. July and August are not bad either. But, a lot of locals head out to the islands and such. Head out to quieter areas on this trip.

 

Average cost per person

The cost of living in Denmark is quite high. It is an exquisite way of life, however simple. The flight tickets actually cost the highest. This can suddenly shoot up. The costs in Denmark itself can be cut down by staying in cheaper hostels and eating in local restaurants. Most people do Denmark with other countries. This can create quite a balance. It can go up to about 40,000 without flights.

 

Visa Requirements

Your Visa application depends highly on what is the purpose and duration of your visit. The Denmark region comes under the Schengen states and hence has a particular set of rules for Visa. People who are employed or self-employed have to present the salary or income slips for the past 6 months. Retired people have to submit pension documents. Students have to reassure the embassy of their admission to a particular college.

 

Where to stay?

Copenhagen:

Copenhagen is the embodiment of all things slick and cool. It is effortlessly beautiful. Copenhagen is a sly smirk on your face. The culinary dimensions here are just getting more in-depth, and every bite here is a shiver down your spine. Danish design is seen in every spark, in every wall. The style here could render any place into insecurity.

The people here are basically the coolest of cats just gliding away on their cycles. This is the home of the Vikings. Copenhagen is like layers of a chocolate cake.

The pronunciation of the city is the most conflicting thing ever. This is the town of fairy tales. Hans Christian Anderson arose out of here. His tales gave the entire world a magical spin. There is a sense of dramatic music in the air at all times. This is a very relaying theme in all of Odense.

More than even the fairies, there are other exciting attractions here. The zoo, the village museum, the art galleries and the food and bar scene rising up. This is the town for the dreamers.

The city has taken this once in a year attraction and turned it into an everyday thing by creating the Museum of modern music. Musicon, which is home to a lot of skate parks and other arts-related businesses is also significant.

The historic nature of the city is also

active. It is no lesser than any other city. The Vikings were an integral part of the history of this town. One of the most notable things here is the UNESCO recognized cathedral and the harbor with replicas of Viking ships and moors.

Top Experiences

Copenhagen Zoo

This zoo and all the locals claim that it is one of the oldest zoos of all times. The zoo expands over 27 acres and is the home to at least 264 different species of animals. Different areas mimic the actual regions and habitats. There are about 3,000 animals here. It is almost as if the whole of Noah’s arch was emptied here.

Buried Church

The seaside area of Skagen is the home to the Den Tilsandede Kirke. This church was humongous and was dedicated to Saint Lawrence. It dates back to the 14^th Century. But the nearby sand started drifting here in the 17^th century and started filling the church up. The church was finally shut in 1795 because it could no longer be used. Only the central tower can be seen waving to you now, peace sign in hand.

Build yourself a Lego

If you are traveling with children (even adults indeed), this is a place you HAVE to go to. At Legoland at Billund, you get to see 25 acres of Lego-themed parks that used 40 million blocks of Lego. There are tributes to all the favorite places in the world and Denmark as well. It also has rides like Pirateland and Duplo Land.

Fossil Hunt

Stevns Klint lies in the South Zealand areas of Denmark. These are some of the most important fossils ever. The cliffs show off 65 million years of history very proudly. You can go down here and go through and pick up the slices of sediments. These are crumbling away to the sea so be quick. You can learn more about it in the museums.

Champagne Opener’s Championships

Yes, that’s right. Try finding a place that has fun more than this place does. There is a competition in Denmark where people compete over who is the best at opening the corks of bottles of champagne with swords. I repeat. SWORDS. They also have oyster opening competitions. These are a must. Try your chances.

 

Travel Smart

• Airbnb

This will be your best friend in Copenhagen. The restaurants and hotels are exuberant and will expect way too much from you. They will extract everything you have in your pockets. There are better experiences in store for you the local Airbnbs.

• No credit cards

Denmark takes no credit card. So, if you want to be able to pay for your things you better carry debit cards. Another thing you could do is load your wallet with kroners. They will accept your cards only if it works by pin.

• Noma

The chances of you getting into Noma are highly slim. This is one of the most blown up Nordic restaurants. The kind of name it has created with its fine dining gets people running from all over the world. But there are a lot of other places run by people of Noma like Radio and Relay that will help you savor the best food.

• Don’t stick to Copenhagen

Copenhagen sure is a beautiful city, but it is not the only city in Denmark. A lot of the authentic Denmark experience lies on the other side of the island of Fyn. Go anywhere. Go everywhere. Travel is not limited to just one place.
