The Faroe Islands are a hidden gem in the North Atlantic,
perfect for anyone looking to escape the ordinary. This
group of 18 islands is all about dramatic cliffs, rolling
green hills, and cozy little villages that feel like they're
straight out of a postcard. If you're into nature, you'll
love it here—whether it's hiking up a mountain, watching
seabirds, or wandering along the rugged coastline. The views
are incredible, and the ever-changing weather just adds to
the charm.
What makes the Faroe Islands really special, though, is the
sense of peace you get here. Whether you're exploring the
capital, Tórshavn, with its blend of old and new, or
venturing out to one of the quieter islands, there's a
calmness that you just don't find in many places. It’s the
kind of place where you can totally unwind, disconnect from
the rush of everyday life, and just enjoy the moment.
So, whether you're looking for your next adventure or just
need a relaxing getaway, the Faroe Islands have something
for everyone. With stunning landscapes, a rich culture, and
a welcoming atmosphere, this is a place that will leave a
lasting impression long after you've returned home.

In addition, we have put together our absolute best Denmark
holiday tips:
- Visit the Tirpitz Museum on the southern North Sea,
discover the historic idyllic village of Sønderho on the
island of Fanø and pay a visit to the island of Mandø, which
is only
accessible at low tide.
- At the mid-point of the North Sea, you can
admire the 64-metre high "Blåbjerg-Nyminde Klit" sand dune,
the tallest in Denmark,
visit the culture capital of Hostelbro or the
central Danish lake district, which is very reminiscent of
the nature
in Sweden.
- Thy national park awaits you on the northern North Sea
coast,
offering 30 natural attractions. What's more, you can
navigate the
snaps route around Limfjord and
visit the sand-covered church in Skagen.
- You can go on some great hikes along the Baltic Sea to the
south.
Firstly, you have the Gendarmstien hiking trail with
German-Danish history, and secondly, you can hike around
the Haderslev Dam. If you're feeling particularly
courageous,
you can cross the small belt bridge, which is
also called bridge walking. Please only do this accompanied
by a guide!
- In the mid-Baltic coast, you can visit the town of Aarhus.
The new harbour area is particularly interesting,
with special architectural features and the ARoS
art gallery. The Ejer Bavnehøj is the one of the highest
points in Denmark and
always worth a visit.
- Take a trip to the northern Baltic to
the island of Læsø and discover the mussel town of Løgstør.
For a little history, as well as a great view, visit
Bangsbo Fort prison.
- The archipelago hiking trail will lead you all the way
round the
island of Funen. There are various ferry connections, which
will allow you to
"hop" across the Danish South Sea between islands like
Funen, Langeland and
Æro. The island of Funen is also known for great
delicatessen markets.
- There are more Danish holiday tips for the islands of
Zealand, Lolland and Falster. Visit the Odsherred geopark,
the Liselund castle park on Møn or the
maritime museum in Helsingør.
- On Denmark's sunshine island of Bornholm, you can take a
fantastic bike tour through the Almindingen forest,
hike by the rocky Hammershus-Allinge coastline or
visit the many farms offering great organic products.
As you can see, a holiday in Denmark is varied and
exciting for the whole family.

Low-cost Denmark holiday
There's a holiday home for every budget in Denmark.
From the classic Scandinavian holiday home to
a large luxury manor, we have everything. Here are a few
tips for keeping your holiday in Denmark affordable:
- Travel in the low-season. In
spring and autumn in particular, you will
be able to grab an affordable Danish holiday. Our
holiday homes start from €249/week.
- Shop in Germany. Groceries are
significantly cheaper in Germany than in Denmark. It
therefore
makes sense to buy long-lasting groceries and fresh products
for the
first few days while you're in Germany and take them with
you.
- Cook your own meals. Especially if you're in a larger
group,
you can save a lot by preparing the food
yourself. You will find everything that you need in the
holiday home.
- Use the DanCenter discount available for lots
of attractions and sights. For example, you can
get 20% discount off entry to LEGOLAND Billund
. Just ask at the onsite service office.
- Book last minute. Shortly before the arrival date, we
reduce lots of vacant houses by up to 30%.
- Stay up to date. Our newsletter and
social media channels will keep you informed about special
offers and discounts!
Holiday Denmark - in the land of the holiday homes
Holiday home breaks in Denmark are a
classic way to get some rest – and each generation is
rediscovering just how
relaxing it can be to take some time off by the Baltic or
North Sea coast.
It doesn't matter what time of year it is!
If the typical Danish holiday home didn't exist, you
would have to invent it: a house at the seaside – by more
than
7,000 kilometres of coastline on the Baltic and North Sea.
Denmark has been living the holiday (home) dream for
generations – and it is always being reinvented. It all
began
very modestly – or elegantly, depending on your perspective.
The first Danish summer visitors were nobles. They
were first able to afford country houses in North Zealand in
the 18th century,
spending the summer months there. Around
1900, an increasing number of artists moved to authentic
fishing towns such as Skagen in North Jutland and Hornbæk on
Zealand. To this day, the works of the Skagen Painters and
the Funen Painters attract thousands of art enthusiasts to
Denmark's museums.
From the beginning of the last century,
well-off Danes began building their own real holiday homes.
The real success story of the Danish
holiday home began in the 1950s, however.
As prosperity increased among all classes,
construction of the Danish "summer house" (sommerhus)
as leisure accommodation soared – while there were approx.
40,000 by around 1950,
today there are more than 220,000 holiday homes
across the country.
However, it's not just the number of holiday homes that has
changed. The character and lifestyle in these Danish
holiday escapes are now more comparable with the holiday
atmosphere
of the 1970s, for example. At that time,
the houses became progressively larger, more comfortable and
more
insulated. What had previously just been a summer holiday
home
could now become a home at any time of year. Today, these
luxury houses of 100
or 120 square metres offer all imaginable
amenities, such as washing machines and dishwashers,
satellite TV,
DVD players, Wi-Fi, whirlpool, sauna and more.
Despite increasing requirements, the "essence" of the
Danish holiday home survived regardless of luxury and
furnishing:
making the dream of living in the middle of nature come
true.
On your own piece of land in a house that
is arranged in a simple and pleasant way, with a clearly
Nordic design.
With a terrace for bright, endless
summer evenings. Or a fire for a cosy atmosphere in
autumn and winter. A fully-equipped kitchen
where the family can meet and cook together - unlike in
hectic day-to-day life at home.
The dream brings
couples together, brings several generations of families
together, as well as friends who
want to enjoy the countryside instead of the hustle and
bustle of the city.
The choice of holiday homes these days ranges from
wellness houses to houses with swimming pools, from houses
for
pet owners to houses for fishing, from
energy saving houses to child-friendly activity houses
with a pool table, table football and gaming consoles. The
house with a sea view
complements the holiday home near the city.
You also have the choice of when you travel:
Depending on the time of year, a Danish holiday home can
be rented for several days or just a long weekend, with
arrival on the day of your choice.
The secret behind the Danish word "Hygge".
It is well-known that the Danes have long been among the
happiest people in the world. At least, that is what regular
surveys suggest, such as the European Social Survey, which
tracks the self-assessment of nations each year. There are
many reasons why our Nordic neighbours find themselves in
this permanent positive state. In other countries, it has
been attributed to the Danish hygge phenomenon that the
world has feverishly embraced. Even many Danes don't realise
that the word "Hygge" has Norwegian origins...
