If you are planning a self catering holiday for the entire family, Denmark is your destination, just a boat trip away!
Fantastic white sandy beaches, clean water, great food and amazingly friendly people. Visit Denmark
How to travel
Going by ferry to Denmark allows you to explore Scandinavia in your own car. And the children will love the exciting “mini cruise” and sea adventure, with the boat departing 5:45pm from England and arriving next day at 1pm in Denmark.
Travel comfortably by ferry, from Harwich England to Esbjerg in Denmark with DFDS Seaways, prices from £75pp (Car plus 4, based on 4 sharing, One Way). Look out for offers and special discounts at dfdsseaways.co.uk
Where to stay
Rent a cottage! Denmark is lined up with charming self catering holiday homes, from traditional country cottages with old style thatched straw roof to contemporary and minimalistic grand design houses, depending on preferences and budget.
Novasol is one of the largest online booking sites for Danish holiday homes. Prices from £199 per week for 5 people. Find your Danish dream holiday home and check availability at novasol.co.uk
What to do
A definite must is to visit Legoland in Billund. It’s the birth place of the famous lego toy brick and a fantastic theme park with lots of fun rides and activities for the entire family.
We also recommend driving to Copenhagen to see the capital of Denmark. You’ll be amazed by the eclectic mix of architecture, traditional and modern side by side, the mouth watering open sandwiches served in many cafes and restaurants and the friendly bicycling city people. If you go to Copenhagen, visit the shopping centre for great Scandinavian design, Illum Bolighus and the enjoyable and nostalgic theme park Tivoli.
We miss it too. Best, Bianca
If only this was true, we would love to visit Denmark to visit Family, and the lovely country. It will be 5 years this year since last visit, due to you STOPPING our ferry, from Harwich to Esbjerg, we so miss it like hundreds of other people in our group
