Denmark


Denmark is cute and fanciful. Denmark is a harmonious blend of the old and the new. Ancient castles and Viking ring forts exist side-by-side with lively cities and the sleekest modern design you'll ever see. Over a millennium ago Danish Vikings brought the country to the world's attention when they took to the seas and ravaged half of Europe, but these days they've filed down their horns and forged a society that stands as a benchmark of civilisation with progressive policies, widespread tolerance and a liberal social welfare system. Butter cookies, brightly coloured plastic bricks, "The Little Mermaid", Royal Copenhagen plates and Georg Jensen are some of the trademarks for Denmark.
