Denmark first became known to the rest of the world more than a thousand years ago, when Danish Vikings took to the high seas and pillaged much of Europe. Nowadays the charming country of Denmark is modern, forward thinking, civilised and successful in so many ways and is viewed as something of a nirvana amongst its population of over five million people. Thanks to its progressive politics, advanced planning, eco-aware society and outstanding work-life balance, Denmark has tradition, history and way of life the rest of the world can only look on and envy.

With stunning scenery, a thriving community spirit and positive take on modern living, Denmark has real style and substance. Plus when it comes to food, you’d be hard pressed to find a better variety of cheese, dairy products, fresh butter, bacon, sausages and beer anywhere else on the planet, with some amazing cakes and pastries to add to the mix too.

Denmark is widely known to be one of the top most liveable and settled countries on earth. You don’t need to look too hard to find much-prized “hygge”, a trait which is unique to Denmark that has a deep effect on the immense happiness of its population. Hygge is the term used for a kind of social nirvana in Denmark – a feeling of homeliness, contentment and friendship. What could be better?
