Euro 24 Match Day 14 – Germany v Denmark
More neighbouring countries come head to head in the second knockout match as hosts Germany take on the Danes. Germany One of my favourite destinations in Germany is Cologne. A fantastic Gothic cathedral, the River Rhine and magical Christmas markets. I have been twice and plan to go again in the next year or two. […]
Euro 24 Match Day 12 – Denmark v Serbia
The Danes take on the Serbs in Munich with everything to play for in Group C Denmark My first ever visit to Denmark was in 1992. We took a train from Paris which fabulously boarded a ferry at Puttgarten in Germany to Rødby on the Danish islands of Lolland. We crossed several amazing bridges as […]

Euro 24 Match Day 3 – Slovenia v Denmark
Slovenia The former Yugoslav republic was the first to vote for independence, which after a 19-day war with Serbia was accepted in June 1991. The small nation that borders Italy has many fine highlights but perhaps Lake Bled is its jewel. We visited the site of General Tito’s summer lodge in 2019 staying for 2 […]
Euro 2020 Semi Final 2 – England v Denmark
So who will make the final? I naturally hope it’s England, but having been disappointed at this stage of the competition before, I am not counting any chickens! The Danes won Euro 1992 without even qualifying! They were called up at the last minute to replace the warring Yugoslavs and shocked Germany in the final. […]

Euro 2020 Match Day 11 – Denmark v Russia
The Danes have home advantage for the match in Copenhagen. Denmark Copenhagen in winter is very atmospheric. In keeping with many Nordic towns & cities, water is never very far away. We did a city canal tour that took in landmarks such as the opera house and the little (tiny!) mermaid. Russia I hope Russia […]
Euro 2020 Match Day 7 – Denmark v Belgium
This match takes place in Copenhagen – Denmark might just need all the home advantage they can muster against one of the tournament favourites. Denmark Copenhagen in the snow is very atmospheric, with Neuhavn perhaps the pick of all the capital’s streets. I went with Mrs Wilbur to watch a European match between FC Copenhagen […]
Euro 2020 Match Day 2 – Denmark v Finland
A Nordic derby takes place in Copenhagen this evening. My first visit to the countries was during inter-rail trips two and three – 1989 to Denmark and 1992 to Finland. Denmark So my first entry into Denmark was by train, starting in Amsterdam and onto Hamburg, then into Danish territory by ferry. Excitingly we our […]
