Denmark Beyond Copenhagen

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | Using Copenhagen as a springboard, we'll visit the very best of Denmark. Aarhus welcomes us with its ruddy affluence, charming open-air museum, and eerily well-preserved ancient bog man. Roskilde impresses visitors with its royal burial church and the best Viking-ship museum anywhere. And the delightfully quaint isle of Ærø comes with half-timbered cottages, ships in bottles, and cobbled alleyways that remind us of the world of Hans Christian Andersen. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #denmark

I'm British and moved here 5 years ago and I tell you what it was the best decision of my life

[carstenhansen]

Well made. You actually made me want to go on a trip around my own country.

This is just perfect, You really show DENMARK, and not just Copenhagen. There is such a big difference from Copenhagen to the rest of Denmark :)

My favorite part of Denmark is most definitely northern-west of Jylland. It’s the most calming, beautiful, and during summer the weather is just amazing!

I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm so glad I did.
One of the girls in this video, is my childhood friend. From 10 years ago.
This is so crazy

Wow! Very beautiful sceneris and beautiful buildings and great Churches. I am a senior citizen from Singapore. I have never been to all these fantastic countries. I'm very blessed I can travel around the World on YouTube. Ha ha! Thank you very much YouTube

Denmark looks insanely beautiful. I would like to visit this country one day, that is one of my dreams. Greetings from Bulgaria !!! <3

Greets from Hamburg, northern Germany. My city is only two hours from the german-danish border away which means that I do visit Denmark quiet often and I just have to say: Jeg elsker Danmark! Der er et yndigt land!

[daciavera]

I love Denmark
Beautiful country and beautiful people!!

[martint]

In my opinion Denmark is a unicorn of countries, to be born there is like winning the 50 state lottery

Over the years I have really enjoyed Rick's journeys through Europe and elsewhere. I was lucky to visit many of the places he has showcased because I worked for Continental Airlines for twenty years. The scenery was great in all of the countries I have visited, but it's the people I met along the way that I will remember the most! From the man in Scotland that helped me fix a flat tire, to a couple in Ireland that fixed me a great Irish Sunday dinner, to a lady I met in Hyde Park that just wanted to talk with an Anerican, to a Turkish man that played Backgammon with me for hours in Istanbul (neither of us spoke the other's language), to a family in Italy that I stayed with for a week.

Thanks Rick!

It always bring me joy to see videos of tourists visiting my home country. It makes me happy to be danish.

[SimonWadaKlaris]

Great video about Denmark! You truly capture the essential culture and spirit of Denmark!

[sherryannefelix]

I am absolutely enjoying your videos of travels through Europe Mr. Steves. I am from a little island in the Caribbean called Barbados. Your videos really make me feel that I am "there" in the actual countries that you visit. Safe travels and great job on the videos.
