The Kingdom of Denmark draws travelers to its charming Scandinavian towns, colorful harbors, picturesque islands and lavish castles and palaces. Sitting on a peninsula, the country is almost entirely surrounded by water, so there's no shortage of scenic coastline and summertime fun. Whether you head to the capital city of Copenhagen for culture immersion or spend a relaxing holiday on the west coast with incredible views over the North Sea, you'll find a Denmark vacation rental that suits your vacation style. Once you've booked your stay, it's off to admire stunning gardens or take the kids to action-packed theme parks.

The picturesque setting is full of colorful flowers and grassy spots for lounging. With both the Christiansborg and Amalienborg palaces in the city, you'll have your fill of royal history, while the Renaissance Frederiksborg Castle, just outside of town, offers guided tours of its museum, filled with paintings and an assortment of historic artifacts.
Touring Denmark by bike and boat

You can also grab a canoe or kayak to paddle around on your own.
Springing into the warm season in Denmark

The peak months of July and August bring the most travelers, especially to the capital city, so be sure to book your Denmark vacation rental early, if you plan to visit in summer. The spring months, although a bit chilly, offer a reprieve from crowds.
Off to the islands and parks of Denmark
Denmark's peninsula location means lots of gorgeous coastline to explore, on hikes or boat rides, with everything from soaring sea cliffs to sandy beaches along the water. A series of offshore islands, including the remote Faroe Islands, can be reached by ferry or plane. A couple of parks on the west coast of Denmark offer perfect spots to enjoy some of the coastal scenery. The National Park to the north is full of lakes and sand dunes, while Wadden Sea National Park, a large habitat of marshes and islands, gets regular visits from seal species and migrating birds.
