Dragør—a name woven from Drag, meaning dragon, and ør, a gravelly or sandy beach. Once a bustling hub of herring trade, its shores lured merchants from near and far, filling the air with the scent of the sea and the promise of fortune. Today, it stands as one of Denmark’s golden oldies. Whether you’re drawn by its timeless architecture or tempted by some of the finest ice cream in Denmark, Dragør is a town that enchants at every turn. It is also the place where I grew up—a corner of the world that will forever hold a special kind of magic in my heart.
