In the coming year, travelers to Denmark, will find fun new innovations that many have come to expect from this creative Nordic country. And most of the action is taking place in its capital city, where new sights and exciting events are sure to keep visitors entertained.
For much of 2010, Copenhagen's most-photographed statue, The Little Mermaid, will be traveling, just like you. She'll be visiting Shanghai, China, to represent Denmark at the World Expo. If you visit her rock pedestal in the city's harbor, you may see a different interpretation of this Danish icon, created by Chinese sculptors. For the next-best thing to the real deal, head to Tivoli Gardens amusement park, where a more accurate replica of The Little Mermaid will be on display.
In Copenhagen's Christianshavn area, Our Savior's Church (Vor Frelsers Kirke) reopens this year after a lengthy restoration.
On the transportation front, Copenhagen's CityCirkel Bus no. 11 offers an inexpensive one-hour overview of the city. You can hop on and off as you like, and the quiet electric bus is small enough to traverse the narrower streets of the Old Town.
On the sleepy isle of Aero, in the south of Denmark, the Aeroskobing tourist office now rents small electric cars, making it easy for non-bikers to follow popular bike routes on this idyllic island.
