Denmark often hits the top of lists for being one of Europe’s happiest countries, so what could be better than exploring the highlights of its capital city? Pick up your chosen car hire at Copenhagen Airport, also known as Kastrup airport, and start discovering The City of Spires in comfort.

This city has it all, from inspirational museums and hip art galleries to cool Danish design shops and a buzzing food scene. Embrace everything Copenhagen has to offer and more with an Avis hire car.

Copenhagen is a cosmopolitan city that artfully combines the charms of traditional culture and architecture with modern vision. Taking your rental car on the city's roads is the perfect way to explore everything this lively metropolis has to offer.

Head into the heart of Copenhagen and you'll find Strøget, the city's largest shopping district. Enjoy performances by street magicians, musicians and acrobats while you shop for some of the world’s most recognisable brands.

There's certainly no shortage of culture in this city. The National Gallery of Denmark presents classic international and Danish art pieces, some of which date back to the 1300s. Tour the Royal Danish Theatre in Kongens Nytorv Square before catching a ballet on the famous Old Stage.

Take some time out to relax by the water's edge and enjoy some classic Danish cuisine at the old port of Nyhavn. The colourful buildings that surround this quayside make for a unique dining experience.

Drive to Copenhagen's Botanical Gardens to see its collection of glasshouses that have been standing for nearly 150 years. A trip to Rosenborg Castle, which houses treasured royal artifacts and the crown jewels, is also highly recommended.

Past Copenhagen, Denmark has some of Scandinavia's most interesting locations. In your hire car, you'll be able to drive to a wealth of exciting places, from seaside towns to beech forests and beyond.

Aarhus
The coastal city of Aarhus is the second largest in Denmark and can easily be reached from Copenhagen by driving along Route 21. The city is a cultural hub, peppered with museums, art galleries and music venues to suit every taste. Whether you’re interested in trendy Danish eateries or ageing cathedrals with immense stained-glass windows, Aarhus will make an excellent stop on your road trip.

Falster and Lolland
Immerse yourself in Denmark's nature. Broad valleys, diverse wildlife, tulip fields, apple orchards, beech forests and more can be found on the southern islands of Falster and Lolland. Head to Knuthenborg Safaripark on Lolland where you can drive your car through lion, tiger, giraffe and wolf enclosures. You’ll also find the country's biggest tree on Falster's east coast.

Funen
Situated between Zealand and mainland Denmark, Funen is the country's second largest island and only a two-hour drive from Copenhagen. Known as the garden island, Funen's rolling hills, thatched farmhouses and hedgerows make it a perfect stop on your road trip. See the bays and waterways of the South Funen Archipelago, and be sure to stop off in Odense, the birthplace of fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen.

There's so much to see in Copenhagen. It’s time to get behind the wheel of your Avis hire car.
