Copenhagen and the Best of Denmark (Alive Guides Series)

Denmark is well known as the land of the Vikings and the country of Hamlet. It is a kingdom of natural beauty and friendly people. It is also a land of surprises. Did you know that almost everywhere you go in Copenhagen you will find... elephants? Author Norman Renouf brings the city of Copenhagen and the towns, villages and countryside of Denmark into focus with detailed descriptions of palaces, pleasure gardens, museums, fine restaurants and more. Day-trips or overnight excursions let you experience the variety that Denmark has to offer, from the North Sea coast at Ribe to the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen at Odense. Travel in high-speed trains over one of the majestic and marvelous bridges that connect the many parts of this kingdom on the water. Visit the palaces and fortresses of Denmark, including Kronborg Castle in Helsingor (familiar to movielovers as the setting for Hamlet, starring Sir Laurence Olivier). Explore the many outdoor museums with their reconstructions of settlements from Viking to Medieval times. Take a break from civilization on remote and enticing Mando Island. Immerse yourself in hygge, which is an untranslatable Danish word describing keen enjoyment of life. And keep your eye open for elephants!
