North Sealand

North Sealand is a vacation favorite with Danes and not just because of its close proximity to Copenhagen. North Sealand not only offers you the famous Kronborg Castle, immortalised in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but also beaches, lakes, deep woodland and green open landscape, perfect for hiking, cycling and camping trips. The area is fringed by calm coastline where you can dip in some of Denmark’s best coastal swimming areas. The drive or train ride north into the region winds along the beautiful Oresund coast, giving you views across to Sweden. The massive Isefjord and Roskilde Fjord define the West of the region.  

The Danish Riviera

Head to the Danish Riviera, a short drive from Copenhagen and lined with lovely, calm beaches. The famous Coast Road winds north from the capital past beach after beach on the way to some of Denmark's most popular holidays destinations.
