The country

Denmark is made up of the Jutland peninsula and more than 400 islands; the largest, Zealand, is home to the capital, Copenhagen. Apart from its 68 km border with Germany to the south, the country is entirely surrounded by water, and no point is more than 52 km from the coast.

On the North Sea, the west coast is made up of long sandy beaches and dunes. In southern Jutland, the Wadden Sea is part of the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world. On the island of Møn, a white chalk cliff towers over the Baltic, and Bornholm, the easternmost island, stands out for its granite cliffs: geologically, it resembles neighbouring Sweden.

Before you go

When to go

According to the Danish Meteorological Institute, the average July temperature is 16.9°C for the 1991-2020 period. The country's climate is becoming wetter, warmer and windier.

In Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens opens for several seasons; in 2026, the Christmas season runs from 13 November to 3 January.

Getting around

The Great Belt fixed link, two bridges and a tunnel over 18 km, connects Zealand and Funen by road and rail, and so the east and west of the country. Since 2000, the Øresund bridge and tunnel has linked the island of Amager, near Copenhagen, to Scania in Sweden. Both links are paid for by their users through tolls. The country has 12,000 km of cycle lanes.

Hozy tip

When cycling in Copenhagen, keep to the right and use the cycle lanes, and use hand signals: raise your hand before stopping and hold out your arm before turning. Turning directly left at an intersection is illegal: cross to the opposite corner, stop and wait for the green light. After dark, a white light at the front and a red light at the back are required.
