Wonderful Copenhagen
A Danish fairytale city
OverviewDenmark is an enchanting land of fjords, rivers and medieval towns. Its capital city, Copenhagen, is a delight - winding streets, captivating squares, the famed Tivoli Gardens, the statue of the Little Mermaid and the Vor Frue Kirke Cathedral, founded in 1191.
Beautiful period architecture provides a spectacular backdrop to our walking exploration of the city. We can also venture to Nyhavn, a cosmopolitan suburb and haven for many budding artists and writers taking inspiration from the pretty pastel coloured town-houses sprinkled along the canal.
We take public transport to the Oresund Coast and the port of Helsingor, home to the castle of Kronborg Slot, a World Heritage Site made famous in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
Our day trip north is to the original capital of Denmark, Roskilde; a medieval fjord town, and home to a Viking museum plus the World Heritage Site of Roskilde Domkirke Cathedral, where many Danish Royals are buried.

John has been a compulsive traveller and walks leader since high school. Having completed the Three Peaks challenge of ascending Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon within 24 hours he's also clearly got an adventurous streak. These days he leads mainly in Greece and Turkey with the odd trip to other destinations which have attracted his attention.
