Tailor-made Denmark vacations shaped around your passions

Cycle along Copenhagen’s canals, explore Viking culture, learn to cook like a local, or visit castles and palaces in Denmark. You might like to kayak along Copenhagen’s many waterways to discover the city from a new perspective, or take a bicycle tour of the city, or a boat tour of the harbor and backwaters.

You could see the crown jewels and the country’s parliament in the city’s palaces and castles, take a cooking class to learn how to make smørrebrød, visit markets and museums, or ride one of the world’s oldest roller coasters in Tivoli Gardens. Outside Copenhagen, you can explore Hamlet’s world on the edge of the Øresund Sound, take a day trip to Sweden, or delve into Viking history and its influence on Europe.

In Denmark you can style in modern, minimalist design hotels, restored historic buildings, and boutique urban retreats. You’ll find elegant, contemporary design combined with 18th-century grandeur in Copenhagen’s landmark Hotel d’Angleterre, Nordic chic and a Michelin-style dining at a converted warehouse on the docks, and a magnificent fairytale pleasure palace by the Tivoli Gardens. For more details, take a look at our collection of places to stay in Denmark.

Effortlessly cool Copenhagen is Denmark’s star attraction, but it’s also worth venturing to Roskilde, Helsingør, and Øresund Sound. In Copenhagen, you’ll discover a compact, modern metropolis with a strong cafe culture, great museums, and lively nightlife. The waterfront cafes and brightly painted houses of Nyhavn should be your first stop, before visiting the 17th-century Rosenborg Castle, the Christiansborg Palace, and the Little Mermaid statue.

Copenhagen is also home to a collection of first-class museums, the Tivoli Gardens — the oldest amusement park in Europe — and the ‘free town’ of Christiania, a collectively-run alternative district with quirky architecture and eco-conscious restaurants, stores, and workshops.

Beyond Copenhagen, you can board a virtual Viking ship and visit a youth culture museum in Roskilde. Lording over the waterfront in Helsingør is Kronborg Castle, setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet, while north of Copenhagen, the Louisiana Modern Art Museum houses a vast collection of modern and contemporary art.

It takes around seven and a half hours to fly from Toronto, Canada to Denmark, and around 12 hours from Vancouver.

The time zone in Denmark is UTC+1 hour. Daylight Savings Time is observed from the last Sunday of March through the last Sunday of October.

The best way to get around in Denmark is by train or by car. The Danish rail network is comfortable and reliable and will take you to most destinations, but you could also rent a car for complete freedom to travel when and where you wish. If you’d prefer not to drive, we can arrange a private vehicle with a driver-guide to take you between destinations.

Canadian citizens don’t need a visa to travel to Denmark. Denmark is part of the Schengen area where you can stay visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Speak to your doctor for up-to-date advice on immunizations for Denmark and ensure that you’re up to date with routine vaccinations at home. You can also check the recommended vaccinations by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Check that your passport will be valid for at least three months beyond the end of your stay in Denmark or the wider Schengen area and that it has at least one blank page.
