Many countries have rather strange holidays that commemorate their distinct histories. While the United States is a rather new nation, it has been around long enough to develop one odd holiday known as Groundhog Day.

While cemeteries are spooky places in many countries, this is not so much the case in Denmark. Many people might prefer to hang out in parks, but the Danes convert their cemeteries into areas for socialising. These cemeteries are full of locals when the weather finally begins to warm up. In fact, you'll be hanging out in the great company as many famed Danes are buried here, including Hans Christian Andersen.
