Copenhagen: The stylish capital is a compact mix of colourful harbourfronts, historic streets, contemporary architecture, world-class restaurants and design. Visit Nyhavn, Rosenborg Castle and Amalienborg Palace, and explore the city by bicycle like a local.

Aarhus: Second city combines a lively cultural scene with historic neighbourhoods and modern architecture. Visit the open-air Den Gamle By museum and ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, recognisable by its colourful circular rooftop walkway.

Odense: The birthplace of celebrated Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, Odense is a charming city of cobbled streets, historic houses and museums dedicated to his life and stories.

Ribe and the Wadden Sea: Considered the oldest town provides a glimpse into the country’s medieval past, while the nearby Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage landscape known for its tidal flats, birdlife and ever-changing coastline.

Denmark has a cool maritime climate, with relatively mild winters and comfortable but changeable summers. We recommend visiting between May and September, when days are long and temperatures are generally pleasant for exploring cities, cycling and enjoying the coastline. June to August is the warmest period and brings Denmark’s famous long summer evenings. Spring and early autumn are quieter, with cooler temperatures and changing landscapes, while November to March is cold and darker but can be rewarding for museums, food, design and cosy Danish experiences.

Currency: Danish krone

Language: Danish is the official language, and English is very widely spoken.

Cultural aspects: Denmark places strong value on simplicity, design, sustainability and quality of life. Hygge is perhaps the best-known Danish concept, describing a sense of cosiness and enjoying simple moments with others. Cycling is also deeply embedded in everyday life, particularly in Copenhagen.

Health: There are no compulsory health requirements on entering Denmark, although malaria precautions are highly recommended, particularly during and after the rainy season and you should consult your health practitioner for the best advice on which precautions to take.
