Open guide

Regions that connect naturally
Copenhagen and North Zealand
Use Copenhagen for urban days, then follow the coast for royal sites, modern art and Helsingør rather than treating the whole region as the capital.
Funen and Islands
Use Odense as the rail anchor, then decide whether castles, coast or a smaller island deserves the additional transfer time.
Jutland
Jutland ranges from Aarhus and family attractions to North Sea nature, so choose a north, west or east route rather than crossing the peninsula repeatedly.
