Browse and explore the best travel guides in Denmark.
Denmark is the southernmost of the Nordic countries, a compact kingdom of islands and peninsulas where cycling, design, and hygge define daily life. Copenhagen anchors the country with its harbour, palaces, and Michelin-starred restaurants, while Aarhus, Odense, and the Jutland coast offer a slower, more rural pace. Mild summers and easy rail links to the rest of Scandinavia make it a natural starting point for any Nordic trip.

Entry rules, stay length and passport validity by nationality.
Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, so most EU/EEA, UK, US, Canadian, Australian and many other nationalities can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Travellers from other countries need a Schengen visa.
May to September offers the warmest weather and the longest days, with peak season in July and August. December is popular for Copenhagen's Christmas markets and Tivoli Gardens, while April and October are quieter shoulder months with lower hotel rates.
Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world for visitors. Petty theft can occur in busy tourist areas in Copenhagen, but violent crime is very rare. Be alert to cyclists when crossing streets - bikes have right of way in many situations.
Denmark uses the Danish Krone (DKK), not the Euro, even though it is part of the EU. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including for small purchases, so most travellers carry little or no cash.
On trip1, you can book hotels across Denmark and pay with over 120 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC. trip1 covers 3 million+ hotels in 190+ countries, making it easy to find and book accommodation with crypto.
