Discover the joy of going green

In Denmark, green means fun. And there are plenty of green things to do here. Maybe it's kayaking on the water? Or eating the best local food. Perhaps exploring hidden places? And quite a lot about trolls, too...

Danes heart design!

From iconic buildings to world-famous furniture, seeing the way design is blended into Danish life is a good way to re-focus on the simplicity and beauty of daily life. In other words, come and stare at pretty things. There's plenty to see and do!
