How to “hygge” with the Danes
Meet the Danes
- some of the happies people in the world
Denmark is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries with the mildest nature. No mountains, only green hills, making it easy to get around and therefore an ideal destination for independent travelers of all ages. We tailor package tours for your customers – independent as well as groups – throughout Denmark. By coach, train, car or even bicycle.
Welcome to the land of hygge
Although blue seas and beautiful beaches surround the 443 Danish islands, the main attraction in Denmark is probably the happy-go-lucky way of life. Hygge, as it’s called – is a defining word in Danish culture, impossible to translate, but cozy and contentedness comes close.
With no natural resources, Danes have always lived on their own ingenuity and creativity. There is a straight line from H.C. Andersen’s fairytales to today’s many award-winning movies and TV shows, world-class gastronomy, architecture and innovative design. Who do you think invented LEGO?
When you go north to Skagen, you’ll experience the most beautiful soft summer light – eternalized by the famous Skagen painters. The west coast is one long sandy beach with cliffs and dunes. The rest is hygge – in landscapes, in villages, country inns, romantic castles and charming cities such as Odense, Aarhus and Aalborg.
