Despite its always busy port, it is a calm and friendly city. Its medieval quarter has been preserved almost intact. there lies Holdde, the main shopping street. A few years ago the statue of Han, the male equivalent of the famous Copenhagen Little Mermaid.

The city is famous for its extravagant cathedral and for having once been the capital of Denmark. There one of the most colorful markets in the country takes place, on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the square in front of the cathedral.
About a 15-minute walk from the center, on the shores of the fjord, is the modern Viking Ship Museum. Inside are five magnificent thousand-year-old ships rescued from the bottom of the port, in the same place where they were sunk to, supposedly, block the invading forces in the year 1042.
We still have to recommend the coastal route along the North Zealand coast, which is dotted with picturesque fishing villages such as gilleleje (photo), where you can buy fresh fish directly from the boats that dock in the port. An authentic experience.
