Are you taking a school trip to Denmark? If so, there are many different things you’ll want to see and do. If you’re staying in a Denmark holiday home (Dänemark Ferienhaus), you will be able to come and go as you please, although transportation may be an issue. If your accommodation is in a large city, like Copenhagen, you may be able to take a walking holiday (Wanderurlaub) — that is, you might not need transportation at all, or you may find that public transportation is enough to get you every place you need to visit.
So what major tourism sites will you find in Denmark? There are many places to visit in Copenhagen, the capital of the country. One of the most famous is Amalienborg Palace, the home of the Danish royal family. Of course, not all of the palace is open to visitors, but many areas of this historical home are. Then there’s the Little Mermaid statue, a statue that commemorates one of the most well-known fairy tales written by Danish author Hans Christian Anderson. If you’re interested in historical sites, you may want to visit the city of Aarhus. This old Viking city is home to the Aarhus Cathedral, a huge cathedral that is the largest of its kind in Denmark. A trip to the coast may also be in order. In addition to seeing the cold waves of the north, you can also view the amazing offshore wind turbine clusters that help power the country.
Naturally, you’ll also want to sample a lot of the great Danish food while you’re on your school trip to Denmark. Much of the cuisine is centered around fish, naturally, since fishing is a major industry in the country. For lunch, many places serve a type of open sandwich on rye-bread that includes both fish and meat along with vegetables like fried onions and cabbage. The evening meal usually features meat and gravy with either pasta, rice, or a potato dish. Meatballs, hot porridge, minced, fried beef, and roast are all popular dishes in Denmark. For dessert, you’ll enjoy a nice mousse or ice cream.
