In the nation��s capital, you can enjoy a variety of tours and excursions from Copenhagen to the rest of Denmark. We loved the nightlife and laid-back vibe here. Copenhagen also has some top hotels for a luxurious Scandinavian vacation stay.
• Aarhus is Denmark��s principal port city. Our taste buds were treated to delectable fresh seafood here. The nightlife was buzzing here too, and many sidewalk cafes catered to our need for refreshment.
