Everyone looks forward to the summer coming and during the winter months many people often book their summer holidays. Not everyone enjoys the same sort of holidays and while sunbathing might be top on many peoples lists sightseeing is more appealing to other people. Whatever sort of holiday anyone prefers it is always better if the sun is shining as the weather can spoil anyone’s holiday. Spain is number one holiday destination for anyone wanting to lie on the beach all day and get a sun tan. There are also many places in Spain that are well worth seeing so it is possible for visitors on holiday to combine both. Some of the most popular holiday destinations are America, Australia, Russia, Germany, Italy and France. Of course, London attracts millions of visitors all year round and is famous for the many sightseeing attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. The Scandinavian countries that consist of Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are very popular and attract tourists all year round. It is always better to stay in Denmark holiday homes (Dänemark Ferienhäuser) during the summer months when the temperature is warm and pleasant.
Although Sweden is the largest of the Scandinavian countries Denmark which borders on Germany and is the smallest is very popular with tourists. The most popular time to visit Denmark is during the summer although even in winter there is very little snow and frost. Denmark is a country of farmlands and settlements and is flat lowland. The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen, and many visitors to the nation stay in the many holiday homes in Denmark that are scattered around the capital. Anyone wanting to visit Sweden from Denmark by car can do so by crossing over the Oresund Bridge and Denmark also runs many ferries that take cars. Denmark also has a good rail network and travelling by train to Sweden is another alternative for anyone not wanting to drive the distance. Other countries such as Iceland, Norway and the Faroe Islands can all be reached by ferry from Denmark and usually takes about 16 – 18 hours. Many tourists fly to Denmark first to see the main sights before moving on to Norway to see the spectacular fjords. However, the easiest way of seeing any of the Scandinavian countries is by plane and flights are available from most European airlines to the main cities.
