The jovial, relaxed, warm and hospitable Danes make for a prominent highlight of the country. One of Europe’s oldest kingdom, take a to experience and feel royalty. Often marketed as “Fairytale Country”, the place is no less than utopia in many ways. The moment you step on the soils of Denmark, you come across modern Danish design and an utterly relaxed contemporary lifestyle sweetly mixed with ancient historic castles and an equally archaic monarchy in the world.

The examples include majestic castles, forts, churches, monuments, museums, art galleries, pictorial art in the shape of sculptures, and other important historical sites. Denmark’s entire existence from landscapes to landmarks seems to have a strong creative undertone to it. This is proved from the fact that Copenhagen was a central place for one of the spontaneous artistic movements in the late 1940s.

Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, and  it is marked by many church steeples and canals. The Copenhagen Zoo is my favorite tourist spot in Denmark where you will find a number of tropical birds and animals. The Copenhagen Zoo is special in its own way and will give you a memorable experience. The Little Mermaid at the entrance of the city of Copenhagen is another famous place to visit. The Little Mermaid is a statue of a mermaid and has a height of 3.3 feet only. The Botanic Garden of Copenhagen will interest not only Botany students but also family people who would like to have a walk in the park with their loved ones.

Denmark’s ‘Whiskey Belt’ is on the gold coast of Denmark. A world of beaches, luxury villas, green verdant forests and high life attractions. In an egalitarian nation which loves it’s yummy beer it is said that the regions affluent residents prefer a tipple of whiskey - hence the name. Stretching along some 40 kilometers of coastline north from Copenhagen, the region is a refreshing and easily accessible alternative to city sightseeing. Here are some of the highlights.

The train system in Copenhagen isknown as the S-Tog for those of you who didn’t know. Most of the trains in the rail network are quite new and very sleek. Mastering Danish train travel is vital to traveling with confidence and success . Riding the rail network in Denmark is not a difficult thing to master, if you just take the time to learn the basics. Once you figure out how to read the maps, understand how the city is divided into zones, you will be able to get on and off any train and soon you will be zooming around Copenhagen like a native.

Once you embark on your rail journey in Denmark, I imagine without a doubt you’ll be wanting to see Copenhagen of all places within this small country. Copenhagen is city of many different cultures and lifestyles, it is also it shaped like a mermaid and is a lot smaller than what you might think. Tivoli is also a must see destination, and the city itself offers a wide range of possibilities, specially with Christiania, officially part of the city since 1986. Spend at least a couple of days in Copenhagen, visiting also the towns around, specially Roskilde, which will introduce you to the viking history with some rebuilt Drakkar boats which used to be the taxis of the water here.

Tickets are necessary for the rail network in Denmark, so you must either pick up a ticket with Rail Europe, at one of the ticket automats at the stations or get a klippekort from the kiosk to punch. At the automat you just follow the instructions for buying a ticket. You check your route from your starting station and than how many zones are you travelling through including your starting and ending zones. If you start in Zone 1 and end up in Zone 31, you will have travelled in zone 1,2 and 31, so that would be 3 zones. You will need a 3-zone ticket.

The Denmark rail network is broken into different zones and it is vital to understand how many zones you will travel within and out of. On the train maps, the various zones are divided into zones. Each zone is divided into colors and also has a number attached. The most popular zones are 1 and 2. Zone 1 is must of metropolitan Copenhagen; Zone 2 is the outlying suburbs to the north and west of the city.

All of the S-Tog trains have an open seating plan, so you can sit anywhere you like. The only exception is that some of the carriages only have seats along the way and have a large open area in the middle. This carriage is to accommodate people traveling with bikes and baby carriages, so try to avoid using these places during busy times.

Each Denmark rail pass has a time restriction so make sure that you complete your travel within the time period. Your ticket may or may not be checked, it just depends if there is a conductor on your train or not. If a conductor comes by, just show him your ticket and do not give it him. Conductors do not wear uniforms anymore, so the person asking for your ticket could be someone trying to steal it. Remember to ride safe and have a wonderful time traveling my families home Country.
