Let me highlight for you a couple of must visits on your Denmark trip, as per our experts:


Copenhagen

The capital city where urbanization has rapidly caught up. This is the place you would find yourself at when you land in the country and at the time of leaving and thus, it always remains close to a visitor's heart. It is a rapidly growing metropolitan city by all standards. The essence of the city is its fast paced life. It’s the hub of all the economic and developmental activities of the country. The city has been mentioned in various surveys and is a place of major scientific research that has been affected in the past couple of years. This is the most environment friendly city of the world so; you could enjoy the least polluted metropolitan city. With its two oldest amusement parks, the city proves to be a visitor's muse.

The city has a more than a couple of star restaurants and we, at European Gateways know all of them as well as possible. Also, there are a few museums in case you have an historical inclination. The city architecture would definitely appeal to your ascetic side. The pull is in the simplicity and the thought that bragging is vicarious.


Aarhus

The second largest city situated in the heart (centre) of Denmark is to the right of Peninsula Of Jutland. Therefore, unofficially, it is known as the capital city of Jutland. The city is the principal port of Denmark and you would see a lot of activity and movement wherever you go into the city. The city is the oldest city and thus, a tourist's must visit topper. The place is also famous for its architecture. the longest and tallest cathedral, Large church, City hall, summer retreat of the Danish Royal family is what you could live while visiting Aarhus


Aalborg (Ålborg)

The hip and happening city of the country. This is where you would find the young peppy crowd of University students. The city is a hub for all industrial and educational institutes. Except for famous points like the tripod tower and a newly opened museum, I suggest you to keep one day for this city. One day just to go around the universities and try small local things. This is the place where you would see students lining up small food joints and they are the real delicacy of the city.


You would see a lot more than any other tourist sees here? The reason being that we have a workforce of local people working with us in the country. You could be rest assured that you would not just be seeing Denmark while you are here. You would rather be living the country in a true sense.
