Denmark

In the mythical land of the Vikings.
Much more than just a journey awaits you on a holiday in Denmark. Starting from Copenhagen, its splendid and fascinating Capital.
A modern and efficient country, where everything works perfectly. Among spectacular landscapes and truly magnificent places.

HOW TO GET TO DENMARK

The plane represents the best solution to reach the country. The airport of Kastrup, the main one in Denmark, is less than 10 km from the capital and is well connected, with direct flights, to the main European destinations.
Billund airport is an equally valid solution. It is located in the town of the same name, and offers numerous daily connections with numerous cities and European capitals. From here, buses leave for the main Danish destinations such as Vejle, Esbjerg, Odense.
Aarhus and Aalborg are less busy airports than the previous ones, but still well connected.

The bus is an economic solution, mainly used for medium-range distances. The busiest routes are from Hamburg, Berlin, Oslo and Stockholm, with several daily connections, even during the night.
Similar speech for those wishing to reach Denmark with their car, or motorcycle. The higher costs of a journey with your own vehicle, are offset by the charm of travel on the road and total autonomy.

GETTING AROUND

The company Abildskou, offers bus connections between the capital and numerous Danish destinations, at significantly reduced prices compared to the train. Often, booking a little in advance, you can get great deals.

Trains are particularly modern and efficient, but rather expensive. The railway network is managed by Danish State Railways (DSB). By train, you can reach the main Danish cities. Almost always, you will have to pay the supplement for the seat.
By train you can transport (with supplement) a bike; element not to be underestimated, because the two-wheeler is particularly loved throughout the country. There are numerous bike paths next to the roads.

The roads in Denmark are modern and efficient and almost all free. Moving by car, therefore, is ideal for complete autonomy in travel.
By ferry, on the other hand, you can reach the small Danish islands.

DOCUMENTS AND CUSTOMS

Denmark has joined the Schenghen Agreements; therefore, for citizens of European countries adhering to this Agreement, there is no obligation to produce documents at the border; you are always required to bring an Identity Card or passport with you. It is recommended, above all, to bring the CI of their minor children, even if you travel by car or train. See our special section, about that.
Except for the citizens of Canada, South Korea, Japan, Israel, and the United States, a visa called VISA is required to enter.
Dogs and cats enter freely, provided they have a health certificate and a recent certificate from the veterinarian of the ASL of residence, attesting to good health. Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies for at least 21 days.
Please note that the appropriate microchip must be applied to the animals.
To fly with animals, please refer to the individual section Airline companies.

The official currency is the DANSK KRÓNA (kr), referred to as DKK. The Øre are fractions of crowns; 100 øre equals to 1kr.

Remember to always travel with your health card; each traveler must have his own. In this way, you will be covered by the excellent public health service. Our advice, however, is to take out medical insurance, which includes total health coverage. We invite you to read the information folder to learn about costs and coverage.
