  3. Hovedstaden

Although Copenhagen is the place to stay, the surrounding area is equally worth a trip to explore. The island of Seeland, which makes up most of the territory of the Sjaelland region, has a lot to offer. According to Norse mythology, it was created by the goddess Gefjon, who took a small piece of Sweden to Denmark. From myth to history, by land or by rail, follow the roads of your dreams. Looking for nature? Cast off to the island of Bornholm and its steep, rocky cliffs. Fancy some culture? Explore contemporary art at the Arken or Louisiana museums. Looking for a bit of history? Relive the glory days of the Danish monarchy at Hillerød. Looking for authenticity? Go to Dragor, a charming little fishing port.
