Denmark - Zealand (PDF Chapter)

This is the Zealand chapter from Lonely Planet’s Denmark guidebook.

Denmark’s largest island offers much more than the dazzle of Copenhagen. North of the city lie some of the country’s finest beaches and most impressive castles. To the west awaits histo-ry-steeped Roskilde, home to a tremendous Viking Ship Museum.

• gawp at lavish furnishings and abundant artworks in one of Denmark’s most opulent his-toric buildings, Frederiksborg Slot
• maps
• windsurf from a wide, golden beach, Hornbæk Surf Beach, that feels more Mediterranean than Danish
• transport
• snoop around Kronborg Slot, the immense castle that was the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet
• restaurants & accommodation
