Denmark Denmark

Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a major north European power, Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation, with a society that is often seen as a benchmark of civilization; with progressive social policies, a commitment to free speech, a liberal social-welfare system and, according to The Economist, one of the most commercially competitive. Top it off with a rich, well-preserved cultural heritage, and the Danes legendary sense of design and architecture, and you have one intriguing holiday destination.

Denmark is also the birthplace of one of the world’s most popular toys, Lego. There is no better place in the world to experience the wonderful world of Lego than at the Legoland theme park in Billund.
