Denmark – land of modern fairy tales

With a landscape that sweeps ever out to sea, and 400 islands nearby, Denmark’s folk tales – possibly best told by author Hans Christian Andersen – tell the story of the country’s rich heritage and culture. Modern-day Denmark, ranked one of the happiest places to live in the world, remains fairytale-like through the ideologies of equality, work-life balance and ‘hygge’ (which roughly translates to ‘cosiness’) that permeate the country.
