Discover Denmark – beyond the show rings
Participating in the European Dog Show is not only about the competition – it is also a unique opportunity to experience Denmark.
As an exhibitor, you are travelling with purpose, but we encourage you to make the most of your stay and explore what Denmark has to offer beyond the show grounds. With its combination of nature, culture and easy accessibility, Denmark is an ideal destination to combine dog showing with memorable experiences.
Nature, space and fresh air
If you are travelling with your dog, Denmark offers excellent opportunities to enjoy nature together.
From wide sandy beaches along the west coast to peaceful forests and open landscapes, there are plenty of places where you and your dog can relax, unwind and recharge. Many areas are dog-friendly, and you will find a strong culture of responsible dog ownership and respect for shared spaces.
Cities with character
Denmark’s cities offer a mix of history, design and modern lifestyle.
Copenhagen, the capital, is known for its vibrant atmosphere, architecture and food scene. Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, combines culture, creativity and coastal charm. Closer to the show, Herning itself offers shopping, dining and cultural experiences in a relaxed setting.
Whether you are interested in museums, local cuisine or simply enjoying a walk through a Danish city, there is something for every taste.
Make your trip more than a show
We know that exhibiting requires focus, preparation and time. But the European Dog Show is also a rare opportunity to combine your passion for dogs with travel and new experiences.
Consider extending your stay, arriving a day earlier, or planning a small trip after the show. Even a few hours exploring the surroundings can add something special to your visit.
A warm welcome
In Denmark, you will find a culture built on trust, openness and respect – values that align closely with the spirit of the dog community.
We look forward to welcoming you not only to the European Dog Show, but to Denmark as a destination – where your experience goes beyond the competition and becomes something truly memorable.
