Creator's Key Takeaways

Denmark is small flat and really well organized while the capital city Copenhagen is a thriving metropolis and the country does have a vigorous economy

Roskilde impresses visitors with its royal burial church and the best Viking-ship museum anywhere

The delightfully quaint isle of Ærø comes with half-timbered cottages, ships in bottles, and cobbled alleyways that remind us of the world of Hans Christian Andersen

I'm impressed with the many charms of this lowkey yet self assured land

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | Using Copenhagen as a springboard, we'll visit the very best of Denmark. Aarhus welcomes us with its ruddy affluence, charming open-air museum, and eerily well-preserved ancient bog man. Roskilde impresses visitors with its royal burial church and the best Viking-ship museum anywhere. And the delightfully quaint isle of Ærø comes with half-timbered cottages, ships in bottles, and cobbled alleyways that remind us of the world of Hans Christian Andersen. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #denmark Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe. *Check out more Rick Steves’ Europe travel resources:* • “Rick Steves’ Europe” public television series: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/video/tv-show • “Travel with Rick Steves” public radio program: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/audio/radio • European tours: https://www.ricksteves.com/tours • Guidebooks: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/guidebooks • Travel gear: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/ • Travel classes: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/video/travel-talks • Rick Steves Audio Europe app: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/audio/audio-europe Rick Steves, America's most respected authority on European travel, writes European travel guidebooks and hosts travel shows on public television and public radio. 00:00 Intro 02:03 Frederiksborg Castle, Hillerød 04:40 Øresund Bridge 05:24 Roskilde 07:02 Viking Ship Museum 08:49 Odense 10:52 Legoland 11:47 Aarhus 15:54 Ærø
