Ever dreamed of strolling Copenhagen's vibrant streets, hopping to quirky islands, or uncovering Viking history without the hassle of bulky guidebooks? Rick Steves Snapshot Copenhagen & the Best of Denmark makes it real. This slim paperback, excerpted from his full Scandinavia guide, packs everything you need for an unforgettable trip into a format that slips easily into your daypack.
Travelers often get stuck in crowded spots or miss the local vibe. Not with Rick. His firsthand tips help you beat lines at top attractions, find cozy hotels, and pick restaurants where Danes actually eat. Think riding thrilling rides at Tivoli Gardens by day, then toasting with a skål to the national football team at a neighborhood pub by night.
From the immersive Moesgård Museum in Aarhus to the charming isle of Ærø, and even Legoland for family fun, this guide highlights what matters. Dive into history at Roskilde's Viking ships, or fuel up with an all-you-can-eat koldtbord—Denmark's cold table feast—or grab a quick hot dog from a streetside pølsevogn. Sensory details bring it alive: the salty snap of that wiener, the thrill of coaster drops, the fresh sea air on ferry rides.
Whether you're basing in Copenhagen for a weekend or road-tripping to Jutland, this guide fits any itinerary. Solo explorers love the practical navigation; families appreciate kid-friendly spots like Legoland; foodies crave the culinary pointers. Pair it with Rick's full Scandinavia book if you're venturing further north.
At around 200 pages, it's light on weight but heavy on value—your shortcut to feeling like a local. Grab it, pack light, and let Denmark surprise you with its hygge charm and hidden corners. Updated for 2024, it's ready for your next adventure.
