Copenhagen in Late Summer
Founded as a settlement by the Vikings in the 10th century, Copenhagen grew exponentially in the following centuries becoming the capital of Denmark in 1416. The inner city was destroyed several times by the plague and fires and was rebuilt in a neoclassic style during the so called Danish Golden Age in the early 19th century. Although many other parts of Copenhagen are modern and somewhat functionalist the inner city still represents the glory and richness of these past times.

Ribe in Pictures
Ribe ist regarded as one of the oldest towns in Denmark. An important church was built here by the missionary Ansgar of Bremen in the 9th century, probably the first church in Scandinavia altogether. By then the town was already well known as port town and for its sophisticated craftsmen. Nowadays Ribe is of middle size but the church is still one of the finest examples of sacral architecture in Denmark and the inner town is lively and colourful.
Bornholm and Christiansö
The islands of Bornholm and Christiansö are situated in the Baltic sea close to Sweden, yet politically they are part of Denmark. These are quiet islands, the people living here work mostly in agriculture and tourism, offering some escapism to visitors from more busy parts of Europe.
