One of the keys to a good travel experience is understanding the culture to which you are traveling. Danes generally have a good command of English, but it helps to know a bit about what their country is famous for to bridge any cultural divide.
Little Mermaid
The statue of the Little Mermaid, based on the tale from native son Hans Christian Anderson, is located in Copenhagen harbor.
Tivoli Park
Located in Copenhagen, this park is a combination of public garden, amusement park and outdoor symphony hall. It is justly known for its beauty and is a central attraction.
Lego
Founded in Denmark in 1932, the LEGO brand of play toys has delighted children for decades. It also has inspired four amusement parks: Billund, Denmark; Windsor, United Kingdom; Carlsbad California and Gunzburg, Germany.
Beer
Carslberg brewery is based in Copenhagen. Tours are self-guided for 40Kr (about $8) and includes two beers at the end of the tour.
Rosenborg Castle
This castle is often featured on tours of Copenhagen and the surrounding area. Originally intended as a summer residence, it instead became the full-time residence of King Christian IV. It is now a fully stocked museum, overflowing with royal jewels and mementos of the royal family.
