Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]
“Ever had the feeling you’ve been cheated?”. It’s a question which could be asked about some of the world’s most iconic tourist destinations. There are the landmarks which appear larger than life in the glossy literature but are so insignificant that they provoke a ‘so what’ reaction when you […]
If you’ve visited Denmark on holiday, it’s likely you travelled to Copenhagen, the country’s most popular tourist destination. But now Copenhagen has a rival for the affections of tourists. Aarhus on the country’s east coast is fast becoming a super cool city, beloved of hipsters, culture vultures and those seeking a weekend […]
William Shakespeare is the world’s best-loved dramatist. Today he’s more popular than in his own lifetime when audiences thronged to his plays in Elizabethan playhouses, guildhalls, and inn yards.

It’s an odd sight… a ‘Viking’ ship which looks like it’s been stranded miles from sea on the edge of a Danish housing estate. Welcome to the Amager Ark – a modern day Viking ship which sails nowhere from its landlocked site on a Copenhagen island. This art installation […]
It’s time to say goodbye to 2013 and welcome in a new year… so what better time to reflect on Tammy’s favourite travel blog posts over the last 12 months. These are the places I enjoyed visiting in 2013 and would recommend to fellow travellers for 2014. Happy […]
Visiting a fabulous art gallery or museum should be one of life’s great pleasures but what happens when the experience is ruined by rampaging coach parties, screaming children and petty irritations? People having loud conversations on mobile phones, breast feeding mothers, and badly behaved teenagers are some of […]
