Denmark in Autumn

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen. As Danny Kaye sang, this "friendly old girl of a town" is one of Europe's great capitals and Autumn is the perfect time to visit, either for a Luxury Castle Stay or a longer tour of this most friendly of countries. For the foodies among you, there are gastonomic treats at every corner as Copenhagen and Denmark generally become famous for their top rated restaurants.

Grab some late autumn sun with our Bornholm Island Holiday. The weather stays warm until October due to the heat of the sun being stored in the rock formations, which are mainly granite: thus its nickname, Solkinsoen or the Sunshine Island. Just a 25 minute 'hop' from Copenhagen Airport, the Island has soaring cliffs, its own dialect and a population of circa 40,000 people. With Neolithic remains; earthworks from the Iron Age; 15 mediaeval churches, four of which are round, and fine examples of 19th and 20th century architecture, Bornholm can be your personal find.

Try our Castles & Jutland Fly Drive, passing through cities like Aarhus and Kolding to reach the ever present sea. Trace the Viking history of this ancient country and explore where Hans Christian Andersen wrote his stories. Then drive gently back to Copenhagen to sample some of the finest food in Europe and wander round this jewel-like capital with its great buildings and cutting edge design.
