List of tourist attractions in Denmark facts for kids
Denmark is a super cool country with lots of fun places to visit! This list shows the 50 most popular spots that tourists loved in 2013. These are all places you usually pay to enter, like amusement parks or museums. The information comes from VisitDenmark, which is Denmark's official tourism group.
What Makes a Place a Top Attraction?
Not every interesting place in Denmark is on this list. To be counted, a place has to be a business that mainly attracts tourists and charges an entry fee. For example, big concert halls, theaters, or places like Møns Klint (a natural cliff) aren't included. Also, places you can visit for free, like Freetown Christiania or The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, aren't on this list either. This list focuses on places where you buy a ticket to get in and have a special experience!
