Knuthenborg Safari Park

You'll find the impressive Knuthenborg Safari Park. The park was originally laid out in English manor style around 1866, and a 7.5 km long stone wall with 4 distinctive entrances was built around the nearly 600 hectare park. Knuthenborg Safari Park has a wide range of activities to suit an adventurous holiday outing. Visit the cafeteria or bring along your own picnic to enjoy in the beautiful, spacious and green surroundings. Come see the exciting bird paradise where 21 large aviaries house a multitude of gorgeously coloured exotic birds. Enjoy the vast number of rare trees and bushes, some of which were planted at the time of the original English manor-style grounds.

Vor Frelsers Kirke

Church of Our Saviour is situated in the romantic surroundings of Christianshavn, the island between Copenhagen city and Amager. Architect Lambert von Haven built the church in 1696. At that time, the church could not afford a spire, so the beautiful tower that now crowns Vor Frelsers Kirke was not added until 1752. Now the tower with its twisted gold and copper spire, which takes you 95 metres and 400 steps above ground-level, is the most famous part of the church. From the top you have a splendid view. The spire has been newly restored and now looks just great. The interior is interesting too. Note the relief depicting the elephant that seems to bear the organ. The elephant is a symbol of the highest order of nobility achievable in Denmark.

The church is also famous for its advanced carillon.

Legoland Billund

The parks are marketed to young families and there is a greater emphasis on rides suitable for young children. The LEGOLAND in Billund, Denmark, is the largest and the oldest. The parks all include a Lego miniland, Lego models made of millions of bricks featuring models of landmarks and scenes from around the world.

Roskilde

Roskilde is an ancient city, and was the capital of Denmark until about 1400, when that role transferred to Copenhagen. The city is a center of economics for the region with a central walking street with a myriad of shops, restaurants and cafes running down the center of the city. Several tourist attractions draw visitors from around Denmark and the world, along with an education program inviting international students to attend the local university for a year.
