From Lego on a trip to on a trip for Lego

An insight for those who love Danish little bricks

You may have heard of the Japanese travel agency that sends stuffed animals on holiday and takes pictures of them in the various destinations they hit during their trip. This all aims at letting people who have not the possibility to travel experience what travelling is like at least through their beloved toys.

Since we sort of liked that idea, we decided to present you to Andrew White, an English photographer who loves the long exposure technique in particular, which conveys landscapes he captures a rarefied, surreal effect. What particularly struck us about him was the fact that among his projects there's Legography, a photo album featuring the legendary Lego little men taking pictures of various landscapes. Click on the photo here below to see some of the best shots!

If you liked the pictures you can have a look at the complete album at www.longexposures.co.uk/legography; we are quite sure that the reason why you liked them is that you LOVE Lego. If this is the case, be advised that your paradise is in Billund, a Danish little town connected by Ryanair low cost flights to many European cities, including London, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, and Budapest. Here the famous Danish company has their main offices and of course there's no need to say they also made a theme park out of their business, no wonder it's called Legoland. It is a really popular destination, both for children and adults, and since 1968, when it opened, it has made tourist flows to Danemark increase, counting 1,5 million visitors a year.

As we may guess you are a Lego lover, don't miss the chance to lose yourself in their magical world that is Legoland. In Billund there's not muh else to see, but this trip could be an idea to visit wonderful Copenhagen. Indeed, direct flights to the capital may be rather expensive, so you'll still find it cheaper to stop by in Billund, although your trip this way will be a little bit longer. It takes three hours to get to Copenhagen from Billund: you first need to get on bus 43 or 143 up to the small town of Vejle. Then you can get on a train that will get you to Copenhagen's central station. The total for your transfer will be roughly around €50 but together with your low-cost flight it will still be cheaper than what you pay with a direct flight and there's the bonus of a quick stop to fabulous Legoland. For further information about your transfer from Billund to Copenhagen, please refer to this great Danish tourist-related website (there's also an English version): www.rejseplanen.dk

And once you're in Copenhagen? Well, no doubt you will need accommodation! It is not a belief that Nordic countries are rather expensive, but luckily there are many cheap hostels in Copenhagen. If you book your bed before you set off no doubt you will find some place where to sleep on a budget. We also suggest you choose a hostel featuring a shared kitchen, where you will be able to cook your own food and save on your meals.
