A
Mysterious Country by FABIOLA GROSHAN
Denmark
is the smallest country of Europe’s five Nordic countries. The Kingdom
of Denmark is probably one of the most magical places in the world. The
mystical stories of majestic castles, Vikings, and little mermaids make
Denmark one of the most incredible places in the world.

This
small northern country is a mystery land waiting to be discovered. Although
it is a small country, with no more than 4.5 million inhabitants, Denmark
knows how to make itself known and loved. Although a travel to Denmark
might seem more like a travel to a mystery land, the capital, Copenhagen,
is probably one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. This city
is home to almost 2 million people, more than ten percent of who come from
other countries of the world. Copenhagen is the city where nobody can ever
get bored. For those who like water and swimming, the capital of Denmark
has the Copenhagen Harbor and numerous
other beaches. You can indulge yourself with wind-surfing, diving, kayaking
and go to some of the wildest beach parties that you have ever seen.
A travel
to Denmark will also teach you to love the environment more. This country
has a firm position regarding environmental protection, and therefore,
you will find places to rent bikes everywhere in Copenhagen.
According to Denmark travel guide, some of the other places to see in Copenhagen
are the sculpture of the little mermaid, a sculpture that is almost a symbol
of this country, and the numerous museums, where you can learn more about
this mystery country and old, mysterious castles. Whenever you get tired
of biking, you can take a break and enjoy some of the most delicious pastries
of the world.
The
Tivoli
Gardens is another place to visit when you travel to Denmark. This
place is famous for its outdoor activities, for its grandiose concerts
and, most of all, for its different rides. This is a place for all ages
and is recommended by Denmark travel guide.
Denmark
is a place of many forests and castles and overall peace and serenity.
However, if you want to be intrigued or transport yourself into a world
of mystery, then you must visit the Kronborg castle. This is Hamlet’s castle.
A good Denmark travel guide will tell you that every summer Shakespeare’s
play is reenacted at this castle, so this could be your chance at a little
mystery and great acting.

One
place you do not want to miss when in Denmark is Lego land. Everybody has
heard about the famous Lego and most of us have even played with Lego most
of our childhood, so if you travel to Denmark it would be a shame not to
visit Lego land.
Denmark
is a quiet, romantic and mysterious county. It is the perfect location
for a family holiday, as well as for a romantic one. This mystery country
changes from year to year, but the essentials stay the same. Denmark was,
is and will always be a place to relax, dream and enjoy nature. It would
be a shame to miss out on all that.

tips in Denmark by ANDY BURROWS

Danish
road rules Drivers must be at least 18 years and always be carrying their
full, valid license and insurance documents with them in the car. Rental
documents, international driving permits, passports - or ID cards - for
tourists will suffice. The Danes drive on the right and seatbelts are mandatory
for all passengers.
| Tourists
bringing their own cars into Denmark need to be aware of certain requirements.
Drivers must carry a red warning triangle in case the car breaks down,
have the letters of their country of residence on the rear of the car,
or the new-type Euro plates, and right-hand drive cars need to have headlamp
deflectors fitted.
Danish
traffic police are very strict and on-the-spot fines for most motoring
offences are common. This especially applies to speeding motorists, where
radar traps are frequently used to catch people out and hefty fines implemented.
Drink drivers are also harshly dealt with – the maximum permissible blood/alcohol
level is 0.5mg/ml.
Danish
road network Newcomers to Denmark will be surprised at the high quality
of the roads here. |

Although
there are only three main motorways, they cover the essential parts of
the country and many secondary roads are as good as motorways. Motorways
carry the European numbering system, denoted by the letter ‘E’, with E47
serving Copenhagen, the E20 running
west from Copenhagen past Odense and onto the mainland and the E45 running
north to south through the mainland.
All
roads are free to drive on in Denmark, including the motorways, with the
exception of the two major bridges, the Oresund and Storebaelt Bridges.
Parking
Parking
can be tough in Copenhagen, where
vehicles are only allowed to park for an hour in designated spots on the
streets and only after the purchase of a disc – bought from petrol stations,
post offices or tourist offices. Other cities are slightly more forgiving
although go over time, forget to pay or park illegally and look out!

Danish
road safety
The
national breakdown service in Denmark, known as Falck, is 112 and they
can be called from any of the emergency motorway telephones 24 hours should
you break down - all other essential services are also available on this
number including police, fire and ambulance. For non-emergency car problems,
Forenede Danske Motorejere (FDM) is the Danish motoring organisation who
can provide assistance.
Even
with perfect roads, accidents do happen and tourists should remain extra
vigilant, particularly when near large cities during rush hour and in inclement
weather.
