       Exploring Denmark

       Copenhagen is Denmark’s main attraction, a small
       yet lively capital with a considerable number of
       sights concentrated in the center. Outside the capital,
       the pace of life is slow, and the flat countryside is
       punctuated by half-timbered villages and the
       occasional manor house. Roads are of a high standard,
       and the trains and buses extremely punctual and
       efficient. Denmark’s relative lack of hills makes it an
       excellent place for cycling.
