Denmark is situated on the Jutland peninsula north of Germany.  

Denmark is a classic example of a well functioning social democracy. The ordered, and tolerant civil society of today's Denmark stands in stark contrast to the historical image of Denmark as the home to hordes of marauding Vikings.  Today's Danes are a friendly and welcoming people, who make a visit to Denmark as memorable as the country itself.  Denmark's a superb place to visit for a whole host of reasons, the only cautionary note to be sounded for anyone visiting Denmark for the first time is that like other Scandinavian countries the standard of living is high and as a result the cost of visiting Denmark is not cheap.    

Denmark offers you lots variation there's historical and cultural sites like Frederiksborg Castle (also home to Denmark's Museum of National History), there's plenty of art galleries and museums like the The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde where you learn how the Danes went abroad in centuries past.  Denmark is great place for children, there's usually special provision made for them at every attraction, perhaps the most obvious choice for families visiting Denmark is a visit to Legoland.  

Denmark's capital city Copenhagen has a great reputation through out the world for its culture, and attractions.  There's plenty for visitor to take in, the relaxed surroundings, the Tivoli Gardens, a multitude of museums in the city including the Museum of Copenhagen which giving you a unique insight into the city.  If you want to keep the kids busy the experimentarium could be an ideal choice.  Copenhagen also has a very vibrant night-life which attracts many party-goers, particularly in the summer.  The Danes capital city is without a doubt an ideal spot for a city break.  

Outside Copenhagen there's lush green countryside, peppered with small towns which have a rich architectural and cultural heritage.  Århus is half way along Jutland, has a host of museums and a charming historic centre.  Aside from Denmark’s mainland there's also the well known islands of Zealand and Funen.  

The Danish state has stringent employment laws, a state benefit system, as well as levels of pay and working conditions that are the envy of the rest of the world. So the need for accommodation providers to demonstrate their fair and ethical treatment of their employees is a concept that would strike most Danes both employees and employers alike, as an unstated prerequisite.  So when looking at responsible tourism in Denmark sustainable tourism is the main focus.  Denmark has some of the  comprehensive environmental laws in the world, so not surprisingly, accommodation providers have to work hard to prove their eco-friendly credentials.  Denmark is one the Scandinavian countries which uses the Nordic Ecolabel or Swan Label as it is also known, the label is also in use in Sweden, Norway and Iceland.  Denmark is one of the first countries in Europe where eco friendly hotels have really effectively marketed themselves on their credentials ecotourism.  The Scandic hotel chain have is a prime example of a hotel which provides mid-range hotel accommodation while simultaneously constantly trying to reduce the impact made by their business on the environment.  Scandic plan to have zero fossil CO2 emissions by 2025.
