In addition to the Jutland peninsula, Denmark includes numerous small islands. One of them - the island of Funen - is often called the "Garden of Denmark". There are numerous villages and manors of the Middle Ages, still inhabited. Also on this relatively small island there are as many as 124 castles, each of which is open for visiting.

Another island, Zealand, is considered the largest in the Baltic Sea. Lakes, fjords and oak forests of Zealand make the island a very attractive place for tourists. In addition, Kronborg's castles in Helsingaere will be interesting (here the Shakespeare tragedy Hamlet was played) and Frederiksborg (now the National Historical Museum of Denmark operates in it). And in Roskilde it makes sense to see the cathedral , built in the distant 12th century and being a royal burial vault.
