Vedbaek welcomes with historic charm and a picturesque setting on the Øresund strait. The neighbourhood is a stone’s throw from Copenhagen and attracts holidaymakers in search of pristine beaches, beautiful views and fresh air. Stroll along the golden sand beaches that fringe the coast or enjoy a leisurely walk on the coastal promenade. Visit in summer to swim in the sheltered water of the Øresund strait.
Dine at local seafood restaurants and enjoy Danish favourites like grilled fish served with parsley butter, pickled herring and “fiskefrikadeller” fishcakes. Cafes serve “smørrebrød” open-faced sandwiches topped with shrimp, boiled eggs and fresh dill.
Spend the day sightseeing in Copenhagen, the cosmopolitan Danish capital. Visit iconic attractions like Renaissance-style Rosenborg Castle and ride the antique roller coaster in Tivoli Gardens, a beautifully preserved 19th-century theme park. Copenhagen is a fantastic place to embrace Denmark’s flourishing café culture. Settle into a cosy café and enjoy artisan coffee and treats like “kanelsnegle” cinnamon rolls and “spandauer” custard-filled pastries.
