The littlest and most southern of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark offers a puppet-theater mix of lively cities and rural countryside. Ancient castles, ring forts, jazz festivals, the sleekest modern design you'll ever see and the people who invented Lego - who could ask for more?
Danish Vikings once took to the seas and ravaged half of Europe, but these days they've filed down their horns and forged a society that sees itself as a benchmark of civilization, with progressive policies and a liberal social-welfare system.
