Denmark Hostels - Budget Accomodation in Denmark, Europe

Best known for its large dogs and Viking warriors, Denmark is a small, prosperous and highly functional kingdom in northern Europe continent that is often overlooked by tourists and backpackers on their grand tour, although it has one of the highest standards of living in the world and plenty of charming experiences to offer visitors.

It is almost totally surrounded by water, consisting as it does of the Jutland Peninsula and 482 islands. Its only land border is with Germany. The countrys capital city, lovely and lively Copenhagen, occupies the biggest of the offshore islands. With all the water it is not surprising that Denmark is very reliant on shipping and fishing; the country also has an important agricultural sector, though, and is famed in particular for its dairy products. Lovers of butter and cheese will enjoy a taste of Denmark!

Denmark boasts small green farms, blue lakes and white coastal beaches, the rural areas sprinkled with thatched cottages, castles and windmills across a gentle landscape which lends itself well to cycle touring. The cities are modern and bustling, but an air of medieval charm has been preserved in old sections of colourful buildings and cobblestone streets. The country boasts 280 museums, most of the important ones in Copenhagen, including the Viking Ship Museum that is devoted to honouring Denmarks bold ancient mariners.

Other special attractions include the annual summer music festival in Roskilde, which is one of the biggest in Europe; the Tivoli Gardens amusement park which has entertained crowds in Copenhagen since 1843; and one of the worlds longest bridges, which spans 10 miles (16km), joining Denmark to Sweden.

The country is compact with an excellent road and rail transport system, and numerous ferry connections to the myriad offshore islands. It all adds up to a very civilised attraction place, as sweet and tempting as the rich, flaky pastry treats that the world has come to know as the Danish.
