Towns in North Zealand

There is a very special feeling and energy in the towns of North Zealand. Location, nature, history and transport routes have determined the development of the towns and resulted in the interesting places they are today. Some of them have arisen around royal palaces, other picture the early Danish industrial history and many have a past as fishing hamlets along Oresund and the North Coast. Go exploring today’s modern towns which are full of experiences with shopping, delicious food and not least culture and history. 

Cosy small towns along the Danish Riviera

By Oresund and along the North Coast and its backing you find cosy, small towns – each of which has a charm of its own.
