Good country, exhausting tourist industry

Denmark is a genuinely beautiful and interesting place. Nyhavn is worth every superlative thrown at it. The frikadeller is legitimately excellent. excellent cycling culture gave the trip real depth.

What I struggled with: the tourist infrastructure around the headline sites in Odense is relentlessly commercial and can feel quiet outside Copenhagen is a genuine friction point. You can feel the gap between authentic Denmark and the packaged version sold to tourists. The authentic version wins, but you have to work to find it.
