Land of green livability
In #Denmark, we look for a touch of magic in the ordinary, and we know that travel is more than ticking sights off a list. It’s about finding the wonder in the things you see and the places you go.

One of the wonders that we at Visit Denmark are particularly proud of, is our neighborhoods. We are especially proud of the sustainable development, there has been going on in the big cities over the last few years.
In Copenhagen and Aarhus, our city design and sustainable thinking have made it fun and easy for tourists to make their stay more sustainable. Come and find out how! #DenmarkVacations
