Being an island nation, many of Denmark's beaches also function as roads. Big, wide roads that can't be damaged by heavy vehicles - perfect for Danish army tanks on training exercises!

The Danish Royal Library's modern extension earned its name from the way its black granite walls reflected the sun's sparkle in the harbour water below, but as this picture shows, the interior is just as stunning too.

12/06/2019

A straight line through 3 prominent features of the Copenhagen skyline: Rosenborg Castle, the National Art Gallery (Statens Museum for Kunst) and Nordhavn Power Station on the horizon.

All with the backdrop of an uncharacteristically blue Danish sky.

It's sailing season for the Dannebrog, the oldest active royal yacht in the world. The yacht is Queen Margarethe's home-from-home when she travels around the various picturesque Danish harbour cities during the summer months, and is a treat to see at any point around the Danish coast.

A rarely seen early morning glimpse of Nyhavn, Copenhagen's colourful harbour front, from above. The dome of the Marble Church is also visible in the distance.

Møgletønder is one of Denmark's most traditional villages, just 5km from the border with Germany. Formerly home of Prince Joachim, second son of Queen Margarethe II, at the end of this row of houses lies Schackenborg, a beautiful baroque castle.

Den Gamle By (The Old City) in Aarhus is a fantastic recreation of Denmark of old, complete with exhibits and folk from past times. Here it is looking resplendent in the spring sunshine.

06/07/2018

With over 10,000km of coastline, there are plenty of beautiful sunsets to see in Denmark.

02/07/2018

Be the first up the tower of Christiansborg Palace for the most stunning early morning views of the city. Copenhagen is a city without skyscrapers, and this is it's highest point.

25/06/2018

Copenhagen's most special church spire belongs to Our Saviour's Church, nestled between Christianshavn and Christiania. It's one of the best viewpoints over the East of the city.

04/06/2018

Rosenborg Castle is at its most picturesque in the summer sunshine.

10/05/2018

There are quaint buildings aplenty in Denmark. These are in the Citadel, a 17th century star fort just outside Copenhagen city centre.

07/05/2018

Roskilde isn't just known for the festival! Tall and imposing, 800-year-old Roskilde Cathedral is the burial place of Danish monarchs, and and the first brick cathedral of its type.

04/05/2018

Danish street art is bold and makes a statement, like this example from Aalborg, northern Jutland.

30/04/2018

The early morning spring sunshine really transforms Copenhagen Harbour, dominated by its magnificent Opera House.

26/04/2018

For the same rich tradition and inspiring beauty but without the crowds, head to Aarhus, Denmark's second city.

23/04/2018

You won't just find pretty, colourful buildings in busy Nyhavn. Head to Christianshavn for a little slice of Amsterdam in the heart of Copenhagen, without all the crowds.

19/04/2018

It's cherry blossom time in Copenhagen, and no better place to see it than Tivoli Gardens, in the heart of the capital.

16/04/2018

Today is the Queen's birthday, so her guards wear red in celebration, with a special parade at Amalienborg, the Royal residence in Copenhagen.

09/04/2018

On a canal tour of Copenhagen you'll see the city from a different point of view. This is the Storm Bridge, where the boat's captain manages to perform an impossibly sharp turn whilst giving you a good look at the colourful houses above.

04/04/2018

Inspired by an Italian mountain village, the 8 House is just south of Copenhagen in a new town called Ørestad. You can walk, run and even cycle along it's roof pathway!

31/03/2018

Ever wanted to sail your boat into your apartment building? In Copenhagen you can, in Holmen, on the south side of the harbour.

29/03/2018

It's a chilly job taking your 24hr shift guarding the Queen at Amalienborg Palace. Every day at midday the replacements arrive, and if you're there you can watch the changing of the guard. It's quite a spectacle!

26/03/2018

The Øresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö means you can easily visit Denmark and Sweden in one weekend. And take some magnificent photos on the way!

22/03/2018

Copenhagen Harbour is full of rich history, cutting edge culture and, of course, bracing winds from the east!

19/03/2018

This sculpture is a modern rendition of Jelling's Viking palisade, the largest Viking fortress in Denmark. It was built by Harald Bluetooth, whose name we now use for more modern technology!

17/03/2018

This picturesque harbour scene is Helsingør, home of Hamlet and gateway to Sweden. Less than an hour from central Copenhagen, it's definitely worth the day trip!

All Denmark's inhabitants, human and animal, are getting used to the snow that seems here to stay.
