Travel information Denmark

Baedeker Allianz travel guide - Denmark (2009), page 98 (translated from German):
"In Denmark there are around 50,000 holiday houses available ranging from basic to luxurious. These accommodations are all privately owned and therefore individually built and furnished. Holiday houses are rented out per week and prices vary according to facilities and location. They can be booked via travel and letting agencies in Germany and Denmark as well as tourist agencies on site, online via www.atraveo.de."

The authors Dr. Madeleine Reincke und Achim Bourmer give an impression of the country:
“Mild lighting, the sea and the colours of the landscape interweave in this country to a unique symphony. Probably there is no other place in Europe that radiates time has stopped in such a pleasant way, concrete not yet being invented and having the landscape all for oneself.”

No other country in Europe stands that much for perfect holiday home vacations than Denmark. The most southern Scandinavian country, situated between the North Sea and Baltic Sea offers along its coasts and on its islands holiday apartments and houses in different variations. atraveo provides a selection of more than 25,000 different holiday homes and apartments. The spectrum ranges from two-person bungalows with simple furnishings close to the beach to luxurious holiday houses for several persons with many facilities such as sauna, whirlpool, swimming pool and solarium. A holiday in the country of holiday homes For an exciting holiday at the seaside both the North Sea and Baltic Sea are suitable. Whilst the North Sea coast of Jutland is characterized by long, wide beaches the Baltic Sea coast is rather fjord-like and winding. Here often the many small holiday resorts stretch towards the sea. Especially popular are the so-called South Sea Islands, the small and large islands in the Baltic Sea. Whether Funen, Zealand, Langeland, Lolland, Møn, Ærø or Bornholm – everywhere you will find appealing holiday homes ideal for you and your family or friends or even for a romantic holiday for couples. The North Sea islands Rømø and Fanø are in no way inferior and impress with their extra wide sandy beaches. Apart from that the country has also other sights and attractions to offer. With the capital Copenhagen of course leading the way with its old harbour which is amusingly called Nyhavn (“new harbour”) and the small mermaid. At Skagerrak, the northern tip of Jutland,where the North and Baltic Sea join together you can gaze at the large shifting sand dune Råjbjerg and Billund Legoland captivates kids as well as grown-ups. With the right holiday home fun at every time of the year The best travelling time for a holiday home vacation in Denmark is of course summer. Especially during the months July and August one can expect perfect temperatures for great vacations by the seaside. But also the rest of the year it is suitable for a holiday. Especially the choice of the right holiday house is important. You would not for example mind the rough and chilly North Sea breeze on your thatched roof that much whilst you are relaxing in the sauna of your holiday home on the island Rømø near Sylt and with a crackling fire in the fire place creating a cosy atmosphere. Another advantage is that during off-peak season holiday homes cost considerably less and a luxuriously fitted house can be booked for reasonable prices. Whether on the mainland or the islands atraveo customers just love to spend a holiday home vacation in Denmark. The most popular regions include Jutland, which stretches from the German border up to the north. In Jutland especially the west coast is very well-liked with the islands Rømø and Fanø. But also the larger islands are favourites with holidaymakers – especially Funen, Zealand and Lolland which all impress with their beautiful landscape and the great offer of holiday homes. Also a favourite is the Baltic Sea island Bornholm which is situated between the Swedish and Polish coast. Ferries from Denmark, Sweden, Poland and Germany run regularly to the island. Further information and suggestions for your holiday home vacation in Denmark can be found in our blog on Denmark and on the Danish South Sea Islands.

“Hyggelig” is Danish and can best be translated with the English word “cosy” but it can mean much more. Something “hyggelig” is pleasant and good. This can also apply to nice people or the picturesque Danish landscape. Or to the Danish holiday houses of course. The choice on atraveo with around 25,000 objects is almost unlimited. Denmark is quite rightly known to be the land of the holiday homes. Most properties are located in the dunes or right at the beach and the most have more top class facilities at reasonable prices. Quite often you will find sauna, whirlpool or even a heated swimming pool in your property so that the whole family can enjoy the holiday in summer as well as in winter: The kids splash in the pool whilst the parents can relax in the sauna and the whirlpool. This way also rainy days will not spoil your holiday mood. In the evenings a crackling fire in the fire place provides a comfy atmosphere and romantic hours for two or the whole family. Also larger parties will find Denmark “hyggelig” as the houses are not only well-equipped but there is also an extensive offer of large holiday homes which offer space for 10, 12 or even 20 persons. Very often such houses have luxuriously fittings. If travelling with a large party such houses can be rented for a relatively good price as far as costs are shared between the fellow travellers. Look for your perfect holiday domicile in Denmark! You will surely find it. In order to make the search easier for you we recommend: atraveo customers especially enjoy the Danish west coast with the islands Rømø and Fanø as well as the large Baltic Sea islands Funen and Zealand where the capital Copenhagen is situated as well as the island Bornholm which is located far off in the sea. We also recommend the other small and large Danish South Sea Islands, e.g. Lolland, Falster and Møn. For further information please browse through our blogs.
