Tours in Denmark by Region

| Funen & Odense | H.C. Andersen's birthplace, gardens, castles |

Copenhagen
Copenhagen is the usual starting point, and most flights from North America land here. The compact, walkable center combines historic streets with a modern food and design scene.
- Nyhavn harbor: 17th-century townhouses, waterfront cafés and canal boat tours
- Tivoli Gardens: one of the world's oldest amusement parks, especially atmospheric in summer
- Christiansborg Palace: home to the Danish Parliament and the royal reception rooms
- The National Museum of Denmark: from the Stone Age to the Vikings
- Nørrebro and Vesterbro: street food, vintage shops and independent galleries
- Day trip to Roskilde: the Viking Ship Museum and the cathedral where Danish monarchs are buried
Copenhagen works as a 3–4 day city break or as a gateway to the rest of the country.
Zealand & Kronborg Castle
An hour north of Copenhagen the character shifts: smaller coastal towns, beech forests and some of the country's most historic sites.
- Kronborg Castle (Helsingør): the Renaissance fortress behind Shakespeare's Elsinore in Hamlet, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk): sculpture gardens running down to the Sound
- Frederiksborg Palace (Hillerød): a 17th-century royal castle on a lake
- Møns Klint: chalk cliffs on the island of Møn, an easy day trip by rental car
- Køge and Næstved: small towns with well-preserved medieval centers
Most sites are within 90 minutes of the capital by train or car.
Jutland
Jutland is the mainland peninsula: wider open spaces, heather moorland and most of the country's Viking history.
- Aarhus: Denmark's second city, with the ARoS Art Museum and its rainbow panorama, and the open-air museum Den Gamle By
- Jelling: UNESCO-listed Viking burial mounds and rune stones
- Skagen: the northernmost point of Denmark, where two seas meet, and a long-established artists' colony
- Billund & LEGOLAND®: the original LEGOLAND® park, a full day out for most ages
- Wadden Sea National Park: UNESCO-listed tidal flats, known for the starling spectacle called sort sol in spring and autumn
- Rebild Bakker: protected heathland hills, popular with Danish-Americans for the annual July 4th celebration
Jutland is best explored by rental car, and a 4–5 day regional loop shows a side of the country many visitors miss.
Funen & Odense
Known as the garden island, Funen sits between Zealand and Jutland and is the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen.
- H.C. Andersen Museum (Odense): one of the most architecturally interesting museums in Denmark
- Egeskov Castle: a Renaissance water castle with elaborate gardens
- Faaborg and Svendborg: harbor towns and the starting point for island-hopping by ferry
Funen works well as a two-day stop between Copenhagen and Jutland.
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands are an autonomous territory within the Danish Realm: 18 volcanic islands, sheer sea cliffs and turf-roofed villages, with very few crowds. This is where our ready-made Denmark packages go. See our Faroe Islands tours for itineraries, boat trips and hiking.
Why Choose a Denmark Tour Package

- Short travel times: Copenhagen to Aarhus is about three hours by train
- English is widely spoken, which removes most language barriers
- Very safe and well organized for first-time visitors
- Year-round appeal: long days and festivals in summer, Christmas markets and hygge in winter

- Easy add-ons: Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Faroe Islands connect within a single trip

What are the best vacation package options for Denmark?
It depends on your time. A Copenhagen city break usually takes 3–4 days, a loop through Zealand, Funen and Jutland takes 10–14 days, and the Faroe Islands add 4–8 days. Our ready-made packages currently cover the Faroe Islands.
How many days do I need in Denmark?
A loop of Copenhagen, Zealand, Funen and Jutland covers the highlights in about 10–12 days. Copenhagen alone works as a 3–4 day city break.
When is the best time to visit Denmark?
May through June offers warm weather, long daylight and fewer crowds than July. September is also excellent. December suits Christmas markets, though daylight is limited.
Can I combine Denmark with Norway, Sweden, Iceland or the Faroe Islands?
Yes. Sweden is a short train ride from Copenhagen over the Øresund Bridge, Norway is reachable by air or overnight ferry, and the Faroe Islands are about two hours by air. See our Scandinavia tours for multi-country routes.
Do I need a visa to visit Denmark from the US?
US citizens can currently visit for up to 90 days without a visa. The EU is introducing the ETIAS travel authorization, so check the current requirements before you book.
