Bathed by the Baltic Sea to the east and the North Sea to the west, Denmark is in northern Germany, southern Norway and south-west Sweden. It consists of 443 islands, 76 inhabited and a peninsula Jutland. Apart from its two autonomous regions such as Greenland and the Faroe Islands is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries. Member of the European Union since 1973, it nevertheless refused membership in the euro area.
Copenhagen on the island of Zealand, is the capital of Denmark. Inaugurated in July 2000, the bridge of Oresund connects Copenhagen to Malmo in Sweden. But it's a bit more dramatic than a bridge! From Malmö there is indeed a bridge consisting of 52 pillars and 4 towers reaching an artificial island about 4 km long, which allows the rail and bus continuity between the tip and the tunnel of 3.7 kilometers placed at the bottom the sea from Copenhagen. It is then the longest cable-stayed bridge with double deck (road and rail) in the world. Many cycle paths exist throughout the city, evidence of efforts by Copenhagen to promote the use of bikes are freely available from May to October.

The channels give Copenhagen during a tour of the historic waterfront. The Nyhavn canal, dug twelfth century had allowed goods to reach directly the heart of the city. You can get there by taking the Stroetget longest pedestrian promenade's urban world. If your hair is long remained a visit to the free state of Christiania is a must! In 1971, squatters stormed the grounds of the abandoned military barracks Baadsmandsstraede, east of Christianhavn. They proclaimed "Free State of Christiania" governed by their own laws. Based on self-management, safety and ecology, values Christiana attracted many hippies. Getting the status of "social experiment" in 1972, the community will maintain relations with the troubled Danish government before the deputies did recognize a legal status. But the arrival of the liberal coalition, supported in parliament by the far right, wears a severe blow to the city free. The 22-hectare site is now widely popular for its location and multiple building projects succeed. On 1 January 2006, the community has lost its status and May 19, 2007, a first home is destroyed ... yet Christiana is now considered the tenth tourist attraction in the country. North of Copenhagen to Elsinore ... and find the castle of Kronborg facing Sweden. The construction of this castle, world heritage, starting in 1574. Although he played an important role in the history of northern Europe, he is best known for being part of the tragedy "Hamlet." In Jutland, you will stop in the city of Aarhus, where the old city is a veritable open-air museum, composed of 75 old buildings mostly from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries moved across the country to be rebuilt on site. There is also the largest church in Denmark: the "Cathedral Domrirke" while the church Vor Frue Kirkja has the oldest chapel in the country (1060). Most of the islands from Denmark have the distinction of being connected by bridges. Buses provide regular shuttles. But I do not think it exists yet to visit the Faroes. And Greenland. But if you are passionate about life Targigrades's another story ... To conclude ... The Danes, a descendant of the famous Vikings, became one of the nations most progressive and tolerant Europe. Alive and warm, they belie the reputation of Scandinavian cool. This would be a shame to give away to Swedish sirens that of Copenhagen. |
