Denmark

Destination overview

About this destination

Denmark lies in northern Europe and includes the Jutland peninsula and numerous islands. Copenhagen, its capital, is largely situated on Zealand. Bridges, ferries and waterways connect many parts of the country.

The landscape is generally low and includes farmland, coast and small towns. Maritime trade has played an important role in Danish history. Copenhagen's waterfront, royal buildings and cycling culture are familiar features of its urban life.

Danish design is associated with practical forms and attention to everyday use. Beyond the capital, castles, coastal settlements and Viking-era remains offer a broader view of the country.
