Venture into Zealand and the Danish Riviera

No. You can’t. There’s nothing better than a destination of many wonders! But there really are so many famous and fabulous things worth seeing on the island of Zealand, Denmark, that we can hardly fit them on this page. We’ll try our best to squeeze them all in!

Forget New Zealand. The old Zealand is where it’s at! This ancient heart of Scandinavia is nestled next to Sweden and Norway at the mouth of the Baltic Sea and dotted with popular Danish holiday islands to the south.

If you go down to the woods today (or whenever you get here) you’ll find some pretty incredible things hidden in the trees in the forests of Zealand…

Roskilde is literally packed with history. It's oozing out. The Viking Ship Museum on Roskilde Fjord is a wonder of living history, where you can even sail in a long ship! The cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the last resting place of Danish royalty. And it’s only 30 mins from Copenhagen.

We may be all about the wonder in the small things in life, but we do all the big dramatic stuff in Denmark too, especially in Zealand. These three very different sights are big attractions in very different ways.

Cool, chic, charming, cobblestoned and characterful - see if you can think of any more words beginning with C that represent our cool capital, Copenhagen. Cycling-mad is one too - and you should know that description goes for all of North Zealand too!
