About 15 years ago in early August we stayed for a week on the west coast at a holiday park called Ferrild Arribu, run by DFDS Seaways followed by a week in a cheap hotel in Copenhagen. The weather was rather damp for part of my coastal stay, but there were lots of things to do - the site had a swimming pool. We visited Ribe, a charming medieval town with a town crier, Legoland (the original) and the village of restored buildings Den Gamle By at Aarhuis. In Copenhagen there was lots to do and see - zoo, Neue Carlsberg Glyptotek (art gallery), old sweets museum, Tuborg brewery visit and of course the Tivoli Gardens. We didn't go on the funfair in the gardens because our son was too young, but we loved the fireworks that closed the evening's entertainment! We even managed a day in Sweden in Malmo using the hydrofoil ..... sadly marred by a migraine which I slept off in one of the town's parks!!

I also remember that Denmark was pricey compared with the UK at the time, but we had a wonderful Danish Smorgasbord (sp?) at the Copenhagen Train Station Buffet!!!

Oh, and you had to drive with dipped headlights on during the day as well as at night.

The language was fairly incomprehensible, but the Danes speak fantastic English!!

I've not been to Denmark for 10 years but the prices were a bit steep even then! To add to Alsaciennes advice, south east of Legoland there are some excellent beaches which are usually warmer than those to the west which face directly onto the North Sea. I've stayed in Kolding (south of Legoland) which seemed more reasonably priced than some other places and also in Odense where I found a bargain hotel but can't remember it's name! I'm not sure whether the Malmo hydrofoil still runs - now the new bridge is open the trains run about every 20 minutes. As for the weather, if the wind is from the north or west think Scotland, if it's from the south or east it may be much warmer.

I was in Jutland (Fjelstervang) in March and also last September and was very lucky with the weather on both occasions. I can't help with hotels as I was staying with friends but I can certainly confirm that Denmark is pricey. Most of the people speak at least some English and many of them are fluent - fortunately the word for hello is Hej (pronoinced Hi) so you have a head start
