Denmark
Spirit and Liveability
Welcome to Denmark Magazine and a taste of Denmark. No matter what
kind of holiday you seek, or what time of year you visit, Denmark has much
to offer.
Denmark is a land of contrast. Denmark is both an old nation with a rich
cultural heritage and a youthful country with plenty to offer holidaymaking
families.
Denmark is a land of history. A kingdom for more than a 1000 years,
castles, palaces and royal sites abound. The home of Shakespeare’s Hamlet
and storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is also a land of legends.
Denmark is an experience to savour and enjoy. Our beaches, landscapes
and woodlands are open to all. And our cities are welcoming, intimate
places with a human dimension. And for those seeking gastronomy, design
and fashion, Denmark represents both unique tradition and creative choice.
Our quality of life is exceptional. Denmark is one of the world’s richest
nations, providing its citizens with universal welfare and healthcare. It is
also a dynamic country rated as the world’s best for business. And the
Danes use their entrepreneurial skills to design a nation made for living –
one that embraces a greener and more sustainable future.
Whether visiting for business or leisure, Denmark will inspire you with
its community spirit and liveability, with its warm-hearted verve and
unparalleled sense of quality.

Thad Jones, Kenny Drew and Stan Getz were just some of the giants
of jazz who settled in Copenhagen and helped create one of Europe’s
most vibrant jazz scenes. Each summer, the Copenhagen Jazz Festival
hosts 800 concerts citywide, many of which are open-air and free.

The Green Expe
Visit a greener and more
climate-friendly future right
here and now in the world’s
most energy-efficient nation
Denmark is the world’s wind power champion.
Offshore and onshore wind farms supply 20% of
the nation’s electricity supply, and wind turbines are
only part of Denmark’s new green-tech revolution.
In 2010, a large-scale electric car program will be
launched to pioneer sustainable mobility for the
future.
Denmark is the world’s most energy-efficient
nation. The nation has experienced unparalleled
economic growth over the last two decades while
energy consumption has remained the same. And all
across the land, renewable energy sources are being
harnessed for a more climate-friendly way of life.
There are no traditional landfills to blight the
landscape in Denmark. All waste is either recycled or
incinerated to heat homes and industries or generate electricity.
Why not learn more about tomorrow’s greener
world – right here and now in Denmark?
Samsø – the zero-emission island One of Denmark’s most
fertile islands and also its most eco-sustainable. Officially
a zero-emission island, wind energy and biomass supply all
the energy consumed on the island – and more. The island
has its own energy academy and an annual festival for
local artisanal produce.

Vikings ahoy!
Biking on the Ancient Road
Travelling doesn’t get much greener – and bluer
– than setting sail and manning the oars on a reconstructed Viking ship. The Viking Ship Museum and
boatyard in Roskilde offers a chance to sail a Viking
longship and learn more about Denmark’s age-old
seafaring tradition. www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk
There is no better way to experience Denmark
than cycling along its 11,000 km of cycle-friendly
roads and paths. Travel in the footsteps of marching
armies and Vikings on the nation’s oldest thoroughfare, the Ancient Road. www.haervej.dk

Green Camp at the Roskilde Festival
Jutland West Coast
Every year, tens of thousands of revellers set up
camp in one of Europe’s largest annual rock festivals. Now the event has gone green – complete
with pedal power so festival-goers can recharge
cell phones while burning a few calories.

Mile-wide sandy beaches as long as the eye can see. Holiday cottages
nestled snugly among the dunes – that’s the West Coast of Jutland.
And probably the most romantic sight you’ll ever experience is the

dunes. www.visitdenmark.com and www.toppenafdanmark.com

Copenhagen
The Liveable City
Copenhagen is a bustling metropolis with a human dimension and
warm sense of community. Tight-knit historical neighbourhoods,
green courtyards in all residential areas, and large popular parks all
combine to offer quality living.
Copenhagen is a city of history but also a future-forward home
to many students and young families. Guaranteed affordable
day-care, generous parental leave, and streets designed for pedal
power are just some of the reasons that the Danish capital is often
ranked among the world’s most liveable. Here, old and new meld
seamlessly. You’ll discover cobbled streets and warm-toned boutiques with soul and charm, and magnificent new civic buildings,
creative art spaces and designer docklands. But what really gives
Copenhagen its buzz is its energised streetscape – the enterprising, outgoing and freewheeling Copenhageners themselves.
Peddle your wares
Pedicabs, cargo trikes, three-wheeled family
movers, you name it and Copenhageners have it.
And now a new licensing system allows cyclists
to set up micro-businesses. Hot coffee, soup and
pancakes are just some of the goodies peddled on
Copenhagen streets. www.copenhagenize.com
and www.copenhagencyclechic.com
Wheeling Danes
The Danes are often rated the world’s happiest
people – and never more so than when travelling
on two wheels. In Copenhagen, 36% of all traffic is
pedal powered. The city’s extensive grid of bicycle
paths even has its own commuter ‘green wave’
during rush hours. Copenhagen is the first city to
be awarded the UCI Bike City label. Read about
major UCI sports events in Copenhagen in 2010 at

Cruise to Copenhagen
Northern Europe’s leading cruise holiday destination, Copenhagen is port of call for more than
300 cruise ships annually and homeport for
many major operators in the Baltic and North

The Danish
Kitchen
Remastered
Leading Danish chef Thomas Herman
brings contemporary sensibilities to
Denmark’s traditional cuisine
Michelin-rated for his culinary mastery in elevating humble to haute,
game-changing Danish chef Thomas Herman is quick to point out that
some traditional dishes are best left untouched. That goes for the hallmark
summer lunch classic – smoked herring from the Baltic island of Bornholm
garnished with a raw egg yolk, radishes and onions on a buttered slice of
hearty rye bread.
Sweet and sour
But when asked what uniquely characterises Danish cuisine, Thomas
Herman’s answer may surprise you: “I always say there’s a basic similarity
between the Danish cuisine and the Cantonese. We have the same sweetand-sour contrast, we use roux sauces – and we even share a predilection
for the sharp tang of wasabi, although Danes use local horseradish.”
The sweet-and-sour combo in Danish cuisine is reflected in many ways,
not least in the way herring is traditionally marinated to achieve a delicate
balance between sweetness and tart acidity.
Salt, roast and smoke
Tivoli – Gourmet Gardens
One of the oldest and most magical pleasure parks in
the world, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen has more to its
palette than family fun. Tivoli is the world’s only theme
park with two Michelin-rated restaurants. And it has
its own symphony orchestra and jazz big band. But the
most enchanting Tivoli experience of all is Christmas.
Throughout December, the gardens transform into a
yuletide wonderland with market stalls, Santa worlds and
seasonal illuminations. www.tivoli.dk
Naturally, Thomas Herman’s culinary talent also draws on the fruit of the
land. “Danish asparagus are the most succulent you’ll find anywhere. And I
really love Danish pork. There’s all grades of marbling. I am a great believer
in limiting the food miles. But I nearly always go for Danish pork, no matter
where I am,” he says.
Although roast pork rarely features at Copenhagen’s Restaurant Nimb
Herman where Thomas Herman is the executive chef, pork crackling – a
favourite of Danes, especially around Christmas – is often served as an
amuse-bouche, drawing on an array of time-honoured methods characteristic of traditional Danish cuisine.
Temple of taste
The House of Nimb in Tivoli Gardens builds on a century
of gastronomic tradition with Danish cuisine at the heart
of all its establishments. Nimb boasts an open-kitchen
Danish brasserie, an organic gourmet hotdog kiosk, a
Michelin-rated Danish cuisine restaurant, and its very
own organic city dairy. And if you just can’t get enough,
you can even stay at their boutique hotel. www.nimb.dk
Copenhagen’s annual slow-food festival is
held in Tivoli and other venues citywide.

HRH Crown Princess Mary attends the Copenhagen
Fashion Week 2009 – northern Europe’s largest
fashion event held in February and August.
Royal Denmark
Always in Fashion
The Danish Royal Family has always moved
with the times, and this also holds true for
fashion-conscious Crown Princess Mary.
Born and raised in Australia, Mary Donaldson
became Crown Princess of Denmark when
she wedded HRH Crown Prince Frederik
of Denmark, the eldest son of the reigning
Danish monarch, Queen Margrethe II, at
a fairytale wedding at the Copenhagen
Cathedral in 2004.
HRH Crown Princess Mary is renowned
not only for her keen patronage of
Copenhagen Fashion Week – northern
Europe’s largest twice-annual fashion fair
– but also for her knowledgeable interest in
the industry.
Denmark’s fashion
thermometer has
been on the rise since
the 1990s, when the
creative hothouse
atmosphere nurtured
leading Danish brands
such as Bruuns Bazaar,
Day, and Munthe plus
Simonsen. Since then,
Danish fashion has
never looked back and
now encompasses over 500 brands, many
retailed worldwide.
Simple yet sublime
But in spite of its runway (and royal) success, Danish fashion remains affordable and
accessible, with a popular, budget-friendly
appeal. This traces back to the Nordic design
heritage, which informs and enlivens Danish
fashion today. Consider the architectonic
quality of a coat by Casch. Or the simple
8
magazine 2010
yet sublime collections of Ole Yde, Malene
Birger or Noir. Younger style comets like
Gentlemen’s Affair, Wackerhausen and
Louise Mehl attract international clientele
seeking their fresh, quirky approach to
tailoring and detail. Quality fabrics underpin
designs by Stine Goya and Camilla Stærk,
who conceptualise their style as wearable art
with a twist.
A visionary of deluxe eco-chic fashion is
Noir, whose Illuminati II collection has taken
runways by storm. Described by designer
Ann Hage Thomsen as clothing with a good
conscience, Jackpot Organic is dedicated to
sustainability and a relaxed style ethos for
which Denmark
is renowned.
The Crown
Princess doesn’t
play favourites,
but two additional designers
often pop up in
her wardrobe: Baum und Pferdgarten and
Heartmade by Julie Fagerholt. Both design
houses are characterized by their classic yet
cool take on sportswear and wardrobe essentials, and a style that resonates with both
the official and the private Crown Princess.
Nurturing nature
The mother of two, Prince Christian (age
5) and Princess Isabella (age 3), the future
queen of Denmark also takes an avid interest in tomorrow’s designers as patron of
Designer’s Nest – a design competition open
to all aspiring young Scandinavian talents
hosted by CPH Vision as part of Copenhagen
Fashion Week.
With her natural sense of style and innate
elegance, Crown Princess Mary has become
an ambassador for not only the great names
of today’s Danish fashion scene but also of
tomorrow’s greener world.
Copenhagen Fashion Week is northern
Europe’s largest fashion fair.

Danish by Design
Danish design has long been celebrated for its simplicity and striking elegance. Modular interiors, sleek
housewares and sculpted architecture are hallmarks of the Danish Modern design heritage and many
of today’s design industry leaders.
But there is far more to Danish design than meets the eye. Design in Denmark is a way of
living. It is functional, innovative, and creative – and about things and systems that work for
people.
Colleges, universities and businesses cluster closely to generate innovative knowledge-sharing environments. And world-class public transport seamlessly connects
home, the workplace and leisure. Pure and simple in style, Danish products and
systems are developed and designed for living.

Meetovation – Danish and different
Many Danish conference venues offer engaging

The Danes are innovative and enterprising
people – but don’t just take our word for
it! In 2009, Forbes ranked Denmark as
‘Best Country for Business’ for the second
consecutive year. In 2008, The Economist
rated Denmark as the ‘Best Place to do
Business’ in the next five years.
So what makes business in Denmark
such a winner? Well, one good reason is
that Denmark has one of the world’s most
dynamic workforces. Employees enjoy
security of income through unemployment
funds while businesses enjoy greater flexibility – we call it ‘Flexicurity’. And what’s
more, the Danes love to learn. They are
highly educated, speak several languages,
and are rated the world’s number one in
e-readiness.
A leading international convention and
congress destination, Copenhagen has
the region’s best-connected airport. And
all across the land state-of-the-art conference venues and innovative meeting
concepts offer engaging environments
for knowledge sharing and networking.
So why not host your next seminar
or conference in a land where learning is
innovative, inspiring and fun?

Combine your meeting with a first hanD
experienCe of Danish Climate solutions
If yes, hold it in Denmark – host country to the World
Business Summit on Climate Change, the UN Climate
Change Conference 2009, COP 15, and many other
related congresses.
Take an EnergyTour. EnergyTours highlight how, in
Denmark, innovative eco-friendly solutions have been
proven to be economically successful, contributing not
just to the world’s energy savings, but also tripling Danish exports in improved energy technologies over the
past 10 years.
As part of the hosting obligations, the Danish meeting
industry worked intensively to form a green and responsible platform for these important events. You, too,
could benefit from the fact that Denmark has plenty of
energy and environmental certified hotels and conference centres, an extensive and efficient public transportation infrastructure, high class organic restaurants
and caterers etc.
The new congress consortium MeetDenmark is an
ambitious initiative of cooperation between the convention bureaux of Wonderful Copenhagen, VisitAarhus,
VisitAalborg, VisitSouth Denmark and VisitDenmark, the
official tourism organisation of Denmark.
EnergyTours offer a unique opportunity to experience
Danish ‘cleantech’ and climate solutions that are helping
solve the world’s climate and energy problems.
Tours allow other countries to benefit from the lessons
already learned in Denmark by meeting and sharing
knowledge with Danish environmental frontrunners, including corporate and institution leaders, politicians and
experts. They are particularly relevant to top management, technical management and commercial management in leading energy companies as well as politicians
and journalists with environmental issues on the agenda.
MeetDenmark aims to build on the success of attracting
significant international congresses and meetings within
the fields of politics, culture and sciences and attract
more events in this field to the country in the future. To
fulfil this ambition, both the private and public sectors
support MeetDenmark, including the Marketing Denmark Fund under the Ministry of Business and Economic
Affairs.
EnergyTours makes it easy for you. An operating network consisting of certified green and environmentally
responsible accommodation and transportation providers, professional destination management companies,
and a broad range of regional energy locations welcomes your delegation on a technical visit or study trip
in Denmark. The EnergyTours Network is established
and operated by VisitDenmark in cooperation with the
Climate Consortium Denmark.
