Zealand and Baltic Isles

Region

Beyond the capital, Zealand and the southern islands mix Viking heritage with chalk cliffs and quiet market towns. Roskilde's cathedral and Viking Ship Museum are classic half-day visits, while Møn draws hikers to Møns Klint's white cliffs and forests. Stevns Klint suits geology walks. Public transport is good on Zealand, but Møn and rural Falster are easier by car.
