Everyone who enjoys active holidays will be fascinated by Denmark’s wide range of sports activities including biking, fishing, surfing, hiking, golf and cycling. With such a dramatic and beautiful landscape, renting brings so much opportunity for adventure. Most holiday homes are within walking distance to the beach as you are never more than 50 kilometres away from the sea and many even include free access to local water parks. NOVASOL has a large portfolio of privately owned holiday cottages to meet every budget, meaning there is always opportunity to spend a little more on spontaneous activities!

Time and time again, Denmark is deemed as the ‘happiest nation on earth’. Similar to the rest of Scandinavia, this bike-loving country is strongly protective of the environment, and this is inbuilt into local lifestyle. As well as enjoying sports, the Danes seem to strike a perfect balance with a delicious cuisine and a healthy appetite for social drinking. The Danish culture is also underscored by a pursuit of ‘Hygge’ – which can be described as cosiness, comfort with loved ones, laughter and a warm atmosphere. Denmark also has a great appreciation and a rich history of literature and art, just waiting for you to tap into on your self-catering holiday. A huge variety of galleries and museums offer a selection of insights into Danish culture across the country – whether that be Viking art, modern design or traditional craftwork.

Danish food is heavily protein based with delicious fish and seafood dishes being a part of standard fare. This typically includes cod, lobster, eel, herring, salmon and shrimp. With NOVASOL holiday lettings in Denmark being located near fishing areas, you may even be able to catch your own dinner and prepare a meal in the style of Danish cuisine. Also keep an eye out for dishes such as meatballs, Smørrebrød (open faced rye bread sandwiches) and warming soups. Desserts to try include sweet rice pudding with berries, apple doughnuts and spiced biscuits. Enjoy a relatively cheap holiday by exploring local shops and markets and preparing some of your own meals at your holiday home in Denmark.

In general, Bornholm, Blavand, Limfjord, Römö and Skagen are the most popular areas for both tourists and locals, whilst Denmark’s cities provide an altogether different type of holiday. Rent holiday lettings near Copenhagen, Aalborg, Roskilde or Aarhus – 2017’s European Capital of Culture – where you can explore the marvels of Danish life, art, customs and traditions from a more cosmopolitan standpoint.

Denmark consists of the peninsula Jutland and almost 500 gemlike islands out of which 100 are completely inhabited, allowing nature to reign. The islands include Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, Zealand, Funen and Lolland-Falster. It has a coastline of 7,300 km and the landscape is well cultivated with beautiful sand dunes and bays on the West Coast, whilst the East Coast has long inlets. The mainland here is Jutland but the capital remains to be Copenhagen in Zealand and the Faroe Islands and Greenland are both members of the national community. NOVASOL has cottages in Denmark on almost all islands. So no matter where you rent your holiday lettings, you are sure to explore this wonderful country at your own leisure.

Denmark is not only blessed with abundant countryside, but also with a long and intricate coastline, numerous islands, wide beaches and sandy dunescapes topped with twinkling lighthouses.
