You'll find a handful of harbour baths along Copenhagen's harbour, such as at Islands Brygge, Kalvebod Brygge, and Nordhavn. There are plenty of sandy beaches within 30 minutes of the city centre, but you can also just take a dip in harbour as the water is clean enough to swim in.
This is one challenge you'll most likely be unable to complete as you cannot be more than 52km from the ocean in Denmark.ġ4. The Copenhagen harbour is clean enough to swim in If you're looking for a real challenge while you're in Denmark, try not to see the ocean at one point. You'll never be more than 52km from the ocean in Denmark! Bornholm and Samsø were voted as the EU's most sustainable islands back in 2020, so if you like green living, look no further. This means that there are plenty of opportunities for you to go on an island getaway! Some of our favourite and most popular island retreats are the islands of Ærø, Rømø, Bornholm, and Læsø. 12. Denmark has 444 islands, but only 76 of them are inhabited We're also proud of the fact that since 2018, LEGO’s plastic plants and other leafy pieces have been made of plants. That's right. LEGO trees, leaves and all of those fun green elements are made from a sugarcane-based plastic. Nowadays you can visit the original LEGOLAND® and learn more about this renowned toy at LEGO® House. The world-famous LEGO® brick was invented by Danish Ole Kirk Christiansen in the town of Billund in 1949. Both of them are brilliant suggestions if you're looking for a fun-filled day - and that's a fact! (okay that was cheesy but it was right for the picking.) You find Bakken located just a short 20 minute train ride from Copenhagen central station and Tivoli Gardens is located just on the opposite side of the street from the station in the centre of our vibrant capital. If this isn't a fun fact, we don't know what is! Because Denmark is home to the world's oldest amusement park, Bakken, as well as the second oldest one, Tivoli Gardens. You'll find the two oldest amusement parks in the world in Denmark
But don't worry, we've toned down the craziness a bit, so nowadays the barrels are simply decorated with cut out versions of black cats and the bonfires only burn doll versions of witches. We don't mind admitting that some of our Danish traditions seem rather weird to the modern eye, as they include batting at a black cat in a barrel at the annual carnival "fastelavn" and burning a witch on a bonfire at Sankt Hans (midsummer's eve). Let us introduce you to three letters you won't come across in the English alphabet: Æ, Ø and Å. But we've added a bit more to the challenge. The Danish language is said to be one of the most difficult ones to learn due to a bunch of silent letters and complex pronunciation. The Danish alphabet has 3 additional letters: Æ, Ø, and Å
