Cyclists raced past castles, coastlines and cultural icons in Denmark’s newest World Tour event.

Danish gastronomy stood out among the five Nordic nations, claiming 6 of the 10 newly awarded one-starred restaurants, bringing the country’s total to an impressive 37 Michelin-starred restaurants, the highest number of restaurants and the highest number of overall stars in the Nordics.
