WHAT'S COOL ABOUT DENMARK?
Cool things to know about Denmark
In Denmark it's cool to be a kid. There are many things to do and children are welcome everywhere. Most restaurants have high chairs, except for the real expensive ones.
LEGOs are Danish
We have a big LEGOland in Jutland, three hours by car from Copenhagen
Danish Kids
At the age of 10 all Danish kids start learning English in School. At around 12 years they learn either German or French.
Bikes
Most children older than 8 years ride their bike to school. If you have a bike, make sure you bring it.
Books
Hans Christian Andersen was Danish. He wrote fairy tails like The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling. Libraries are public and free of charge. But do not forget to return your books, CDs etc. on time – it's very expensive to forget. The Libraries are very well equipped and lots of kids meet there after school. Younger kids typically meet in the mornings with their parents.
Toy Stores
We have a Danish toy store chain called BR. We also have Toy'R'us.
Movies
We have lots of movie theatres. But a lot of the time the movies are synchronised in Danish. So if you like to watch movies bring DVDs/Videos in your own language.
Sports
The number one sport in Denmark is soccer. Most kids play soccer. Second is handball. Golf and badminton is also very popular. The State supports most sport clubs, which makes it cheap compared to other countries to do sports. When you move here we will help you find the nearest club to your home of the sports that you like to do.
Museums
Amusement Parks
Old Buildings
All around Denmark we have lots of old buildings and towers. One of the fun and strange one is a 300 year old observatory in central Copenhagen called The Round Tower
North of Copenhagen you find Hamlet's castle – The Castle of Kronborg - the best fortified castle in Europe – part of it is more than 400 years old.
