As Europe’s oldest kingdom and the home of Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is often marketed as a “fairytale country”. The term is so ingrained, that it is still used in international news reports. Though not immediately obvious on a map, Denmark includes more than 400 islands, of which 72 are populated.
