Denmark

This is the Bornholm chapter from Lonely Planet’s Denmark guidebook.

The sunniest part of Denmark, Bornholm lies way out in the Baltic Sea, 200km east of Co-penhagen. But it’s not just (relatively) sunny skies that draw the hordes each year. Mother Nature was in a particularly good mood when creating this Baltic beauty.

This is the Copenhagen chapter from Lonely Planet’s Denmark guidebook.

Copenhagen is the coolest kid on the Nordic block. Edgier than Stockholm and worldlier than Oslo, the Danish capital gives Scandinavia the X factor. Just ask style bibles Monocle and Wall-paper magazines, which fawn over its industrial-chic bar, design and fashion scenes, and culi-nary revolution.

This is the Funen chapter from Lonely Planet’s Denmark guidebook.

Funen (Fyn in Danish) is Denmark’s proverbial middle child. Lacking Zealand’s capital-city pull or Jutland’s geographic dominance, it’s often overlooked by visitors, who rarely do more than make a whistle-stop visit to Hans Christian Andersen’s birthplace, Odense.
