A little known fact about Denmark is its length of beach terrain is comparable to that of Brazil or India. Another little known fact is that it’s the birthplace of Windsor’s best attraction, Lego. The Danes don’t tend to shout about their achievements; the country and its atmosphere do just that for them. Once you get here, you can immediately see why the Danes are so quietly happy, it’s just difficult to pinpoint it to just one feature of the country. The beaches are a wonderful thing, often packed with tourists in the high season, but remarkably clean and inviting during the rest of the year; the green fields, with quaint timber houses dotted about its countryside will cast no doubt in your mind that this place has something magical about it; the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen, with their wild natural landscapes and romantic characters resonate across the country...

Tucked away in the far North of the European continent, on the Scandinavian peninsula, lies Sweden – a country of deep forests, rich plains, clear water, red cottages and an abundance of local traditions. But it’s not just greenery and beautiful scenery round here; there’s also a modern society with bustling big city life and one of the highest standards of living in the world.

Blending modern architecture with characterful old buildings, and with a young population attracting fun nights out, decent shopping and seriously tasty dishes, Stockholm’s a great place to be!Published in ScandinaviaTags -

These are just a few of the things present in the Scandinavian quintet (strictly speaking, just Norway, Sweden and Denmark - we’ve included Iceland and Finland too).
