Denmark has been in the news a lot lately. This small Scandinavian country of six million people has found itself in a tricky situation with bigger nations testing its limits.
Vikings, LEGO, and Ozempic aside, many of you may not have known much about it before.
But the headlines don’t show the full story.
So we collected a list of images showing the (extra)ordinary aspects of Denmark’s everyday life that make this country so unique and interesting. Discover it yourself!

#13 Brøndby Garden City, Located Just Outside Copenhagen, Denmark
While visiting the beautiful capital city of Copenhagen in Denmark, I encountered what seems like an alien civilization. To my surprise, these are just small piece of what called, “Colony Gardens”, literally a garden space that Danish citizens can rent to grow produces & vegetables. Space is extremely limited if you’re living the main city so this is the perfect way to have your own gardens & get back to nature! Owners are allowed to live there between April-October to take care of their gardens (can’t grow anything in the winter).
What a unique way of contributing to a better planet. Way to go Danes.

#37 Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli is always evolving without abandoning its original charm or traditions. Georg Carstensen said in 1844: “Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished”, a sentiment echoed just over a century later when Walt Disney said of his own Tivoli-inspired theme park, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”

#68 Palm Trees Growing In The Winter Garden Topped With A Copper And Wrought Iron Dome Inside NY Carlsberg Glyptotek, An Art Museum In Copenhagen, Denmark
It was truly one of the coolest buildings I’ve ever been to! thanks and have a nice day! What struck me the most was the balance between the imposing architecture and the cosy, almost private atmosphere due to the jungle feeling. The Glyptotek is filled to the brim with the most amazing statues and sculptures. The sun also cast the perfect light; drawing stark contrasts and highlighting the depth of this place and its art. On the first floor there is a roundway around the main Winter Garden.
