A short break could be just what you need in the way of inspiration and energy for your busy 9-to-5 week. A City Break in Denmark is a different and exciting experience where you can shop, do some cultural sight-seeing, stroll in the parks and take in some wining and dining in Copenhagen, Århus, Odense or Aalborg. All these cities have great historical and cultural appeal and are within easy reach of other attractions. The gastronomic level is high, whether you settle on a romantic eatery, gourmet restaurant or historic inn serving regional dishes.
