From Copenhagen to Nordborg, this itinerary takes the traveler across the two main Danish islands, Zealand and Funen, before arriving on the isle of Als. You’ll discover a modern capital that celebrates the sea, culture, and trade, along with all the landscapes, forests and shorelines that make this country so peacefule. Only a few small hills dot the landscape of hedgerows, gardens, plains, and beaches, where you feel like you have the entire world all to yourself. You’ll follow in the footsteps of Andersen's fairy tales and the paintings of the golden age of Danish art, as well as the small producers and great chefs who have brought local cuisine to the top tiers of the major dining guides.
Founded in the 12th century, Copenhagen has been the capital of Denmark since 1416. Its present splendor owes much to Christian IV, a great admirer of the Renaissance. He had many of the buildings and castles you’ll see while cycling around the city constructed in the 17th century. From the 19th century, Copenhagen established itself as a major cultural center, finally becoming a pioneering city in terms of urbanism and quality of life. In total, the city has 26 stars in the Michelin guide – an excellent start to any gastronomic exploration. A gourmet exploration of the Scandinavian capital of haute cuisine is a must. ...
