Cheap car hire Denmark
The country of Denmark is a fascinating fusion of ancient and modern, with its long history and culture entwined with the present-day focus on ultra-modern design for living and the greening the environment. Visitors arriving at Copenhagen will find cheap car hire in Denmark easy to arrange, as most major companies are represented.
Before setting off to explore the country, several days spent in Copenhagen can be rewarding. The city still holds fast to its maritime heritage, stretching back to its ancient Viking past as a major trading center. Many medieval and 17th century buildings are of interest, and the old port and canal area of Nyhaven charms visitors and residents with its wooden ships.
A visit to the famous Tivoli is a must, as is a trip to the harbour to see the Little Mermaid seated on her rock. As she was vandalised several times recently, the city fathers are considering moving the iconic bronze out into the harbour itself. The National Museum, housed in an 18th century palace, includes a huge collection of Inuit artefacts.
Once you have arranged your car rental in Denmark, the famous Viking town of Aarhus is within an easy drive, as is historic Helsingor, with its Kronborg royal castle, its collection of fully restored 17th and 18th century houses and its quaint downtown shopping streets, lively markets, cafés and windswept beaches.
The Renaissance castle of Egeskov is located on one of Denmark’s many islands, is beautifully preserved, and has stunning gardens. An added bonus is its car museum, with over 300 veteran and vintage cars on display. Car hire in Denmark can take you to the port of Hanstholm, where you can board the ferry to the distant Faroe Islands.
