Bakken, located just north of Copenhagen, opened in 1583 and holds the title of the world’s oldest amusement park. Visitors can enjoy traditional rides, games and lively entertainment in a setting that combines history with fun.

The technology behind Google Maps was created by Danish brothers Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen. Google later acquired it, turning it into the mapping app that is used by more then 2 billion people to explore the world today.
