If you haven’t done much international traveling, you may find planning a trip here to be a little daunting. Fortunately, once you know how to pack and make the proper arrangements, traveling to is a breeze!

The “world’s happiest country” (according to at least one survey) is also one of Europe’s most underrated destinations. The Jutland peninsula, sprouting up from Germany. It is complemented by an archipelago of pretty islands linked by road, rail, or ferry. The capital Copenhagen, on the island of Zealand facing Sweden.

You can find beautiful beaches, Michelin-starred bistros, and scores of sunny spots to snuggle up for a few days with Mother Nature. Denmark consistently punches above its weight for everything from design to dining and culture to cycling.
