Denmark Tour Package

This time I would take my time and don’t rush like the previous day. This day is about day trip. Take a train to a little village called Egeskov. They have perhaps the most beautiful castle in Denmark with gorgeous gardens around. The castle is located about half an hour train drive from Odense. However, there is a twist – the castle is self is about 2 km from the train stop. There is either bus, but it doesn’t come that regularly. If it is sunny enough you can also walk there – it is not too bad, and it took me about half an hour to get to the castle. Otherwise there are taxi services usually ready close to the train stop.

On the third day move to the hometown of Aragorn. Yes, that is right, Viggo Mortensen is half Danish and he used to live in Esbjerg. The town itself has quite a nice historical center – but to be honest, it is not too special from what you have seen in Odense. So sure, spend a time here, but be aware that there is a more to it.

Let’s take another day trip. This time to a little historical town called Ribe. Ribe has the oldest cathedral in the northern Europe. In the cathedral you will get to see whole exhibition on Ribe’s history and why it is so important for Denmark. Also feel free to climb to the tower and see Denmark from above. You will get to see how flat it is. After visiting the cathedral spend some time in the town. There are one of the oldest houses in the northern Europe that you can see, monastery and you can even visit a Viking museum here.

Start your day early and head to the north. If you have a car (which I recommend especially for this part of trip) it will take about 3 hours to get there, so get comfortable. The place you are looking for is called Skagen and it is known for the watches that they make here but also for being the place where two seas meet. The beach where you can see Baltic sea and North Sea merging into one is located about 5 km from the Skagen itself. At some point you will need to trade a car for either the busses that they are offering here or your own foot.

If you head early in the morning, you can visit the Rujberg Knude Light house, which is just about hour from Skagen. You will get to see a little desert and lighthouse in the middle of it, located just about thirty meters from sea. Walks around there are just amazing but be prepared that it is very windy place.

On your last day, try to get as much from Danish culture as possible. Aarhus is a great place for that. Start by going to the museum of modern Art. They have 5 floors filled with modern art. If you don’t think this is for you, their rainbow view is certainly for everyone – it is only view I have ever heard that is filled with colors like this. After that, if you are interested in old Denmark, head to Gamle by – it is a museum neighborhood designed the way that it would show you how Danes lived 200 years ago. And you find here everything – from how the farms used to work to fishery and so on. As a bonus you can visit here a poster museum. Which is especially amusing if you are into old classy posters.
