About Denmark
Denmark is known for Copenhagen's cutting-edge design culture, the historic Tivoli Gardens, and a cycling-friendly lifestyle that defines daily life across the country. The Danish concept of hygge -- a focus on coziness and well-being -- has become world-famous.
Denmark serves as a gateway to Scandinavia, with easy connections to Sweden and Norway. Note that Greenland and the Faroe Islands, while part of the Kingdom of Denmark, have separate travel rules and are not part of the Schengen Area.
