1. Egeskov Castle

We’ve seen many castles in many countries over our lifetime, but Egeskov Castle is most definitely in my top 10 list. There is something about the setting, the water surrounding it. The castle and grounds are very well maintained and the gardens so nicely laid out. There certainly is something for all members of the family. There are the classic car displays if some seldom seen cars. The massive dolls house with its intricately fashioned miniatures are a wonder and a testimony to an artistic eye for detail and quality craftsmanship. Would recommend planning to spend 4-5 hrs here to fully take in the castle and grounds. It will be hours well spent.
2. The Funen Village

Take a trip out to our outdoor Museum - a village from the time of Hans Christian Andersen, where everyday life is as it was in a 19th century Funen rural environment. Mediators from Living History give you an exciting, authentic glimpse of what everyday life was like back then, operating as farmers, craftworkers, labourers and servant girls in historical dress.

Located in the center of the city, it is a must to visit. Beautifully preserved. Free entrance to the cathedral, though you need to pay to visit the museum and the tower.

About an hour drive from Aarhus, this is a great way to spend an afternoon feeling a real sense of place, with rune stones (carved memorials) burial mounds, remnants of a palisade and a sense of the conversion to Christianity. The museum is interesting and well designed, using high tech interactive exhibits to tell the Viking story, and gives a real sense of context to the historical site.

Æro is a magical place. An hour or so ferry from Svendborg and you’re transported to an island with history dating back over 400 years. We were fortunate enough to stay at a b&b hosted by a lovely couple. They helped us better understand the history and to prioritize our brief stay.

For the last couple of years the theater has developed an ensemble and world-class production when it comes to delivering setups of Disney's popular musicals. They have made amazing settings of Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, a world premiere of the Prince of Egypt, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and now Tarzan. Be aware that Friday show usually is in English

Visit "CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark" and enjoy the finest ceramic arts and crafts ranging from a 235 year old plate in the Royal Copenhagen porcelain collection to the experimental work of contemporary artist. The museum has recently been transformed from a small museum located in a beautiful old villa to also include a spacious, modern building.This new building offers 1,500 square meters situated both above and below ground level. The ceramic art is literally surrounded by its own material, clay.

I don't understand some of the drab, half-hearted reviews some contributors have given this wonderful museum. It's a sheer joy - no two ways about it. The original museum was housed in the quirky old red house in the picture - but the big surprise is that now a stunningly smart state-of-the-art staircase leads you down into the earth - the clay - and the fabulous, spacious, modern exhibition space. There were 2 special exhibitions, each curated with great imagination - including one dedicated to the ceramic works of the famous CoBrA artist Carl-Henning Pedersen - a banquet of plates and pots and colours - some of the items placed on plinths that emitted musique concrète sounds redolent of clay in a range of processes - thrilling. There is also a jaw-dropping collection of pieces from the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory, tracing its history and styles and paying tribute to the various artists commissioned to design for them - it's a real piece of Danish cultural heritage. Finally as you come to the end of the underground space, daylight intrudes again with a huge panorama window with a breathtaking view of the water. You can enjoy a similar view from the excellent café, a modern glass cube pavilion clad in moveable, vertical brick slats. I could go on… This is a must-see attraction in the area.

When you reach the top of this fine lighthouse after 170 steps the excellent view to the sea and the very special landscape makes the 40 DKR ticket very good value for money.
