The landscape consists mainly of low-lying, fertile countryside broken by beech woods, small lakes and fjords. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are also under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark, although both have home rule.

The official language is Danish. Many Danes also speak English, German and French. Approximate flight time: From Copenhagen to London is 1 hour 50 minutes and Copenhagen (CPH) (Kastrup) is 10km (6 miles) Southeast of the city with a travel time of 30 minutes.

Denmark has an abundance of picturesque villages and towns, historical castles and monuments, and a coastline, which varies delightfully, from broad sandy beaches to small coves and gentle fjords.

Throughout the country rolling hills and gentle valleys provide a constant succession of attractive views; there are cool and shady forests of beech trees, extensive areas of heath land, a beautiful lake district, sand dunes and white cliffs resembling those of Dover. Nor should one forget the Danish islands, each of which have its own unique attractions.

The country is full of first class restaurants, modern venues and opportunities for truly creative incentives. Reasonable value combined with the people's friendliness and liking for the British sense of humour make this a destination for anyone's short list.
 

Copenhagen

Denmark's beautiful capital is on Sjælland and thus there is much commercial activity on the island. But there are also fine beaches, lakes, forests and royal palaces. The City offers a wide choice of venues and earns its rating as one of the world's top ten conference venues.

The City can be very busy May - September and is certainly not cheap but it does offer wonderful opportunities for team building and fun activities.

The largest urban centre in Scandinavia, Copenhagen is a city of copper roofs and spires, founded in 1167. It has many old buildings, fountains, statues and squares, as well as the singular attraction of the Little Mermaid at the harbour entrance.

Places of interest include the Vikingland tour to the Viking Ship Museum. A royal tour to the Christianborg Palace (the seat of Parliament), Rosenborg Castle and Amalienborg Palace is a popular alternative. Also you can take a coach tour to old-world Bondebyen and its open-air museum and even take in a brewery tour, which includes the famous Carlsberg and Tuborg breweries. 1989 the biggest planetarium in northern Europe opened its doors in Copenhagen.

Most Danes have smørrebrød for their lunch. This is a slice of dark bread with butter and topped with slices of meat, fish or cheese and generously garnished. It bears no resemblance to traditional sandwiches and needs to be eaten sitting down with a knife and fork. Buffet-style lunch (the koldt bord ) is also popular with a variety of fish, meats, hot dishes, cheese and sweets, usually on a self-service basis.

In Copenhagen, superb gourmet restaurants can be found, whilst Ålborg is noted for its impressive number of restaurants. Most towns have 'fast food' outlets for hamburgers and pizzas, and the sausage stalls on most street corners, selling hot sausages, hamburgers, soft drinks and beer, are popular.

It is served ice cold and only accompanies cold food. There are no licensing hours in Copenhagen.
