COVID-19 informacije: Prebivalci "odprtih držav" lahko vstopijo na Dansko. Prebivalcem "prepovedane" grofije je dovoljen vstop na Dansko, če se jim zdi vreden namen vstopa v državo. Prebivalci Scanije, Hallanda, Blekingeja, Schleswig-Holsteina ali Norveške lahko vstopijo na Dansko ne glede na njihov namen vstopa, pod pogojem, da regija izpolnjuje danska merila, da jih je mogoče označiti kot odprta. Država EU / EGP (in Združeno kraljestvo) bo kategorizirana kot odprta država, ko se stopnja okužbe s COVID-19 spusti pod določeno stopnjo (20 tedenskih primerov na 100.000 prebivalcev). Država postane prepovedana, ko tedenska stopnja okužb preseže 30 primerov na 100.000 prebivalcev. Poleg nizke stopnje okužbe mora država izpolnjevati tudi nekatere standarde testiranja za COVID-19. Nekaj ​​držav, ki niso članice EU / EGP, se lahko štejejo tudi za odprte države, če izpolnjujejo standarde okužbe in testiranja. Seznam odprtih in zaprtih držav se posodablja vsak teden. Informacije lahko najdete na spletu.

Danska (Danski: Danska) je najmanjši od Nordijske države glede kopenske mase. Kraljevina Danska, ki je bila nekoč sedež vikinških napadalcev in kasneje velike severnoevropske pomorske sile, je najstarejše kraljestvo na svetu, ki še obstaja, vendar se je razvila v demokratično, sodobno in uspešno državo.

Danes so danski Vikingi parkirali svoje ladje v garaži in postavili čelade na police ter skupaj z drugimi skandinavskimi narodi ustvarili družbo, ki jo pogosto vidijo kot civilizacijsko merilo; s progresivno socialno politiko, zavezanost svobodi govora, ki je bila tako močna, da je državo spravila v nasprotje z večino sveta med krizo risank leta 2006, liberalnim sistemom socialnega skrbstva in po Ekonomist, eden najbolj tržno konkurenčnih. Zaključite z bogato, dobro ohranjeno kulturno dediščino in legendarnim čutom Dancev za oblikovanje in arhitekturo in imate eno zanimivo počitniško destinacijo.

V različnih anketah in anketah skozi leta so ga poimenovali "najsrečnejša država na svetu", pogosto pa ga predstavljajo kot romantičen in varen kraj, ki je s Hansom Christianom Andersenom verjetno povezan kot "pravljica". Seveda se veliko več skriva pod površjem, toda za popotnike se bo Danska verjetno izkazala za priročno, varno, čisto, a tudi precej drago za obisk.

Zemljevid Danske

Glavni del Danske je Jutlandija, polotok severno od Nemčija, vendar Danska vključuje tudi veliko število otokov, med katerimi so največji Zelandije in Funen. Večina otokov leži v majhnem plitkem morju Kattegat in Baltskem morju, med Jutlandijo in Švedska. Ločeno od drugih otokov, Bornholm leži sama med Švedsko in Poljska v Baltskem morju. Glavno mesto Kopenhagen leži na najbolj vzhodni strani Zelandije.

Čeprav Danska na zemljevidu ni takoj očitna, vključuje več kot 400 otokov, od katerih je 72 naseljenih. Polotok Jutland in glavni otoki predstavljajo večino prebivalstva in kopnega; manjši otoki so tukaj kategorizirani kot del teh.

Lokalno upravo na Danskem sestavlja pet regij in 98 občin (kommuner). Te pododdelke obiskovalce ne zanima malo.

Danska, Ferski otoki in Grenlandija so skupno in formalno znani kot Dansko kraljestvo (Det Danske Rige). Čeprav imajo vsi trije svoje parlamentarne parlamente, so tudi ti Kraljevina Danska s kraljico Margrethe II kot simbolnim monarhom. Ker Grenlandija in Ferski otoki so samoupravna ozemlja, ta članek jih ne zajema.

Zgodovina

Danska ima bogato predzgodovino, saj tu živi več kultur od konca zadnje ledene dobe pred približno 12.000 leti.

Poglej tudi: Vikingi in staronorveški, Nordijska zgodovina

Danci so prvič omenjeni v spisih iz 6. stoletja in so postali splošno znani v Vikinška starost, ko so skupaj s svojimi norveškimi in švedskimi sorodniki potovali daleč zaradi trgovine, napadov in poravnave (prim. Danelaw v Veliki Britaniji).

Dansko kraljestvo je bilo ustanovljeno v vikinški dobi. Harald Bluetooth je bil krščen in mu je uspelo krstiti njegovo kraljestvo v devetdesetih letih. Kraljevina se je povečala in v 11. stoletju je bil njegov vnuk Cnut Veliki kralj ne samo sodobne Danske, temveč tudi skanijskih dežel na jugu Švedske, Norveške in večjih delov Anglije (ki so bile izgubljene po njegovi smrti).

Obseg Kalmarjeve unije okoli leta 1400.
Naselje na Grenlandiji je bilo (in je) zelo majhno, saj je bila večina vasi postavljenih vzdolž jugozahodne obale

Južni Schleswig in skanijske province so bile del Danske do druge severne vojne v zgodnjem novem obdobju

Danska se je še naprej širila, od tega tako cerkev kot cerkev sv Hanza igral pomembne vloge. V skupnih prizadevanjih za boj proti naraščajoči moči in vplivu Hanzeatske zveze na baltskem območju je bila leta 1397 ratificirana Kalmarjeva unija, ki je pod eno pravilo združila Dansko, Norveško in Švedsko. Zaradi zapletenega zaporedja nesrečnih smrtnih primerov in morda tudi nekaterih spletk je petnajstletni Eric Pomeranski postal prvi uradni monarh Kalmarske unije. V času združitve je Norveško cesarstvo vključevalo tudi severnoatlantske otoke Orkney, Shetlands, Ferske otoke, Islandijo in Grenlandijo, Kraljevina Švedska pa velik del današnje Finske, Kraljevina Danska pa tudi Holstein. V naslednjem stoletju je bilo več notranjih sporov in uporov, leta 1523 pa je bil Gustav Vasa razglašen za švedskega kralja in zveza je razpadla in prenehala obstajati. To ni bila uničujoča izguba za Dansko, ki je držala Norveško (vključno s severnoatlantskimi otoki), skanijske dežele in gospodarsko pomembne danske ožine pod eno pravilo. V petdesetih letih 20. stoletja je bila na Danskem luteranska reformacija in kralj je zagotovil svojo monarhično oblast tako v zvezi z duhovništvom kot plemstvom. Trgovina in proizvodnja sta cveteli.

Kopenhagen je v 18. stoletju opustošil vrsta zelo uničujočih požarov, nekatere zaradi pomorskih napadov in bombardiranja. Bombardiranje v Københavnu leta 1807 je uničilo večino mesta.

V naslednjih stoletjih je bilo veliko vojn, zlasti z naraščajočimi Švedsko cesarstvo, ki se je uveljavila kot velika sila. Danska je bila vključena tudi v Tridesetletna vojna, z malo uspeha. Druga severna vojna je Kraljevini Danski zadala zelo resen udarec, Švedska pa je postala največja vojaška sila v Skandinaviji. Danska je odstopila skanijske dežele, estonske posesti in tretjino Norveške v ponižujoči Drugi pogodbi iz Roskilde leta 1658, zdaj pa so švedske sile zasedle tudi večino same Danske. Zasedena območja tako na Danskem kot na Norveškem so se kmalu uprla švedskim četam in jih uspela premagati, obnovili so Dansko-Norveško leta 1660. Kopenhagenska pogodba leta 1660 je uredila meje med Dansko in Švedsko, ki jih poznamo danes. Novoodkrita vojaška moč in moč tega, kar je zdaj postalo švedsko cesarstvo, je sčasoma sprožila zunanje sile in Rusija je leta 1700 sprožila Veliko severno vojno, koalicijo, vključno z Dansko in Norveško, proti švedskim ozemljem. To je privedlo do švedskega poraza in Rusija je bila od leta 1721 prevladujoča vojaška sila baltskega območja. To je vzpostavilo ravnovesje moči med Dansko-Norveško in Švedsko in splošni mir je trajal približno stoletje do začetka Napoleonove vojne leta 1803. Serija zelo uničujočih požarov, ki so jih nekateri povzročili pomorski napadi, je v 18. stoletju pustošila po Kopenhagnu. Zadnji velik požar je večji del mesta uničil leta 1807, ko je britanska mornarica bombardirala Kopenhagen in v preventivnem napadu uničila dansko floto. Do takrat je bila Danska v napoleonskih vojnah trdno nevtralna, zdaj pa se je postavila na stran Napoleona in se spet vključila v vojskovanje s Švedsko. Čeprav so se boji s Švedsko le končali status quo, vojaški stroški so močno prizadeli gospodarstvo in Danska je propadla leta 1813. Leta 1814 je bila Norveška, z izjemo severnoatlantskih otokov, kot del večje evropske mirovne pogodbe odstopljena Švedski.

Še vedno velika pomorska sila je Danska sodelovala v splošnem evropskem kolonializmu od šestdesetih let dalje, ustanavljala je naselja, nasade in utrdbe v novih kolonijah na Karibih, v Zahodni Afriki in Indiji. Danska je približno 200 let še naprej dobivala od svetovne trgovine s sužnji, sladkorjem in začimbami, vendar so bile afriške in indijske kolonije sredi 18. stoletja sčasoma odstopljene Britanskemu imperiju, danske Zahodne Indije pa so bile leta 1917 prodane ZDA.

V ravnovesju so težki časi po Napoleonove vojne so bili kulturna zlata doba za Dansko, z intelektualnimi in kulturnimi velikani, kot so Bertel Thorvaldsen, Hans Christian Ørsted, Nicolai Grundtvig, Hans Christian Andersen in Søren Kierkegaard. Uvedeno je bilo obvezno izobraževanje in država je naredila več korakov v smeri demokracije in pravne države, predvsem zaradi političnega delovanja liberalnih meščanskih skupin. Demokratična ustava je bila ustanovljena leta 1849, volilno pravico pa so imeli moški z lastno lastnino, starejši od 30 ali 40 let. Leta 1915 je Danska dobila novo ustavo s splošno volilno pravico.

Po hudi izgubi ozemlja je Danska po napoleonskih vojnah v zgodnjih 1800-ih ustanovila edinstveno neagresivno vrsto nacionalizma. Nicolai Grundtvig je imel odločilno vlogo pri tem gibanju v prvi polovici 19. stoletja.

Nova demokratična gibanja v Evropi so bila povezana z novonastalimi idejami nacionalnih držav in na Južnem Jutlandu, kar je privedlo do notranjih sporov zaradi lokalnih fevdalnih oblik vladanja. Tam sta se vodili dve vojni, ki sta vključevali vojaške sile iz Danske, Prusije, Švedske in Avstrije, kar je sčasoma oktobra 1864 privedlo do novega danskega poraza in zdaj odstopa Holsteina, Schleswiga in Saxe-Lauenburga. Psihološko zaznamovan s številnimi vojaškimi porazi in skrajnimi izgubami ozemlje skozi stoletja, v kombinaciji z naraščajočimi vplivi nacional-demokratičnega gibanja, je Danska praktično opustila vojaško silo kot politično orodje. Toda vojne so še naprej divjale v Evropi in leta 1914 je izbruhnila prva svetovna vojna. Danski je uspelo biti nevtralno, toda ko se je Nemčija močno vmešala, so bili Danci iz odstopljenega Južnega Jutlanda vpoklicani skupaj z drugimi nemškimi državljani in nekaj tisoč južnih Dancev je padlo na zahodni fronti, ki se je proti njihovi volji borilo za Nemčijo. Leta 1920, po svetovni vojni, je bilo na koncu v Schleswig-Holsteinu izvedeno referendumsko glasovanje za ureditev še vedno nerešenih notranjih konfliktov, severni del Schleswig-a pa se je spet vrnil na Dansko, medtem ko sta južni Schleswig in Holstein odšla v Nemčijo, kjer sta dansko-nemško uredila meje, ki jih poznamo danes. Do danes danska manjšina živi v južnem Schleswigu, nemška manjšina pa v severnem Schleswigu, zdaj v mirnem sprejemu.

Danci na ulicah praznujejo osvoboditev Danske pred okupacijo nacistične Nemčije med drugo svetovno vojno.

Danska je skušala biti nevtralna druga svetovna vojna Tudi Nemčija je napadla Dansko aprila 1940. Obramba je bila šibka in ni bilo ustrezne mobilizacije, da bi se izognila grozotam jalovega upora. Islandijo, še vedno dansko, je Združeno kraljestvo mesec dni kasneje, brez prelivanja krvi, pozneje predalo ZDA. Danska vlada se je strinjala z nemškimi pogoji in z obljubo "zvestega sodelovanja" je nacionalnim oblastem omogočilo, da nadaljujejo svojo funkcijo, vključno z obsodbo antisemitskih aktivistov.

Avgusta 1943 so državno vlado zamenjale nemške oblasti, saj ni ravnala zadovoljivo. Ko so se Nemci odločili, da bodo Jude deportirali v Nemčijo, je večini uspelo pobegniti na Švedsko v veliki reševalni akciji, ki jo je organiziral danski odpor. Danski Rdeči križ je nad velikimi številom ujetih skrbno nadzoroval, deloma pa tudi zaradi danskega političnega pritiska, ki ni bil deportiran v nemška uničevalna taborišča. Večina ujetih Judov je preživela na ta način, vendar jih je nekaj sto, poleg zaprtih danskih komunistov, Gestapo deportiral v nemška koncentracijska taborišča zaradi pridržanja, prisilnega dela in usmrtitve. Z naraščajočo intenzivnostjo sabotaž danskega podzemnega odporniškega gibanja je Gestapo (ki ga je vodil dr. Waffen SS dr. Werner Brest) danski policiji vedno bolj zapovedoval, naj sprejme protiukrepe ali jim grozi kazen. Organizacija danske policije ni sodelovala z nacističnim dnevnim redom, nemška reakcija pa se je takoj pojavila maja 1944, ko je bilo okoli 2.000 policistov aretiranih po vsej državi in ​​deportiranih v koncentracijska taborišča v Nemčiji. Danski vladi je kasneje uspelo izboljšati zdravljenje v nemškem ujetništvu, vendar je okoli 100 umrlo, večina v Buchenwaldu. Danske so britanske sile pod vodstvom feldmaršala Montgomeryja osvobodile 5. maja 1945, dva dni pred kapitulacijo nacistične Nemčije.

Po vojni si je Danska prizadevala za tesnejše sodelovanje z drugimi nordijskimi državami, bila pa je tudi med ustanovnimi članicami Nata in OZN. Islandija je razglasila in se osamosvojila, medtem ko so Grenlandija in Ferski otoki dobili večjo stopnjo domače vladavine. Vprašanje Schleswig je bilo nadalje rešeno na zadovoljstvo najbolj vpletenih s pogodbo z Nemčijo, ki manjšinam na obeh straneh meje zagotavlja kulturne, politične in ekonomske pravice. Potem ko je bila Danska ob robu evropske integracije, se je leta 1973 končno pridružila EU; vendar država ne sodeluje v evroobmočju, čeprav je krona vezana na evro.

Danska sodeluje pri splošnem političnem in gospodarskem povezovanju Evrope. Vendar pa je država odstopila od Maastrichtske pogodbe Evropske unije, Evropske monetarne unije (EMU - evroobmočje) in vprašanj, ki zadevajo nekatere notranje zadeve.

Podnebje

Sezoni v Århusu, v nasprotni smeri urnega kazalca od začetka oktobra

Vreme na Danskem je v primerjavi z drugimi skandinavskimi državami razmeroma blago, vendar je jasno razdeljeno na štiri letne čase, od katerih ima vsak svoje značilnosti. Za popotnika je pomembno vedeti, kaj lahko pričakujete v času obiska, kako se obleči in kako načrtovati bivanje.

Snežna odeja v zimskih mesecih ni vedno zagotovljena, vendar je zaradi severne lege dnevna ura z gotovostjo veliko bolj redka kot dolge črne noči. Tudi kadar naj bi bilo sonce, je nebo pogosto depresivno sivo z močnimi oblaki in skoraj brez sončne svetlobe. Ti pogoji trajajo tri mesece, od decembra do februarja, včasih pa tudi novembra in marca. Občasno lahko doživimo srečen dan od štiri do pet ur sončne svetlobe, vendar so temperature običajno okoli ledišča. Za popotnike je božični mesec december lahko zanimiv, saj so okrašena središča večine večjih mest, na ulicah pa se pojavijo majhne prodajalne s kuhanim vinom, palačinkami, sladkornimi mandlji in drugimi lokalnimi dobrotami. Zima je zagotovo čas, ki ga najbolje preživite za druženje v zaprtih prostorih.

Pomlad se začne konec marca ali aprila, dnevne svetlobe pa se hitro povečujejo, prav tako pa tudi temperature. Topla oblačila so še vedno obvezna, priporočljiva pa so tudi dežna oblačila. To je čas, ko se marsikdo prehladi, ker pusti, da se jim pamet zavede, da je poletje prišlo takoj, ko je nekaj dni naravnost posijalo sonce. Ne še. Maj je takrat, ko drevesa počijo v listje, bukov gozd v razpokanju pa je izkušnja, ki je ne gre pozabiti.

Z junijem je prišlo poletje in zdaj je dnevna ura daleč prehitela nočne ure. Konec junija ima najdaljši dan v letu s kar 18 urami dnevne svetlobe. Sonce sedi nižje na obzorju na teh zemljepisnih širinah in niso vse ure tako svetle kot sredi dneva, toda za dansko poletje so res značilne "svetle noči" (danski: lyse nætter) in aktivnosti na prostem in zabave se lahko nadaljujejo tudi v majhnih urah, ne da bi kdo opazil, koliko je ura. Če morate po daljšem letu prilagoditi svojo notranjo uro ali če imate jutranje sestanke in sestanke, je zelo dobro, da s seboj prinesete spalno masko, ki preprečuje svetlobo. Poletne temperature na Danskem so blage; redko je prehladno (zato bi potrebovali topel plašč) in je zelo redko pretirano vroče (nad 30-32 stopinj Celzija), zato se ne morete ukvarjati z nobenimi dejavnostmi na prostem. Morda mislite, da so zaradi teh razmer popolno poletje, potem pa morate vedeti, da se vreme spreminja skoraj nepredvidljivo. Skozi poletje lahko pridejo in minejo deževni in oblačni dnevi, zato bi bilo pametno, če jih obiščete v tej sezoni, ustrezno načrtovati; Bodite prepričani, da lahko spremenite svoje zunanje načrte za dejavnosti v zaprtih prostorih, kadar nastopi slabo vreme, in čas boste izkoristili kar najbolje. Čeprav sivi, oblačni in deževni dnevi ali nenaden izbruh neviht lahko uničijo vaše plaže ali načrte za piknike, se lahko v veliki meri zanesete na tedenske lokalne napovedi. Spremembe se običajno dogajajo samo vsakodnevno, zato boste zjutraj ob pogledu na nebo dobili dobro in zanesljivo predstavo o tem, kakšen bo prihodnji dan.

Septembra počasi prihaja jesen, a svetle, s soncem obsijane dni lahko pogosto doživimo do oktobra, prav tako pa so ti meseci primeren za obisk. Prepričajte se le s primernimi oblačili, saj je hladnejše in vetrovno vreme vse pogostejše. Novembra se konča vsako poletje, drevesa so zdaj vsa v rdeči, rumeni in oranžni barvi in ​​kmalu bodo hladni jesenski vetrovi odpihnili listje.

Teren

Danska je zelo ravna in ima največji delež obdelanih zemljišč na svetu.

Danska ima raven teren. Več kot 60% površin je ravnih, obdelovalnih površin, zaradi česar je idealno za kmetovanje. In še dodatnih 15% je podobno ravnih gozdov. Tako je na Danskem „najnižja najvišja“ točka v Evropi; na "osupljivih" 170,86 m nadmorske višine, Møllehøj, blizu Skanderborg, je bila leta 2005 potrjena kot najvišja naravna točka na Danskem. Bolj slavno Ejer Baunehøj in Yding Skovhøj z 170,35 m oziroma 170,77 m sta tekmovala leta, dokler leta 2005 z novo tehniko ni bilo mogoče najti zmagovalnega hriba. Kakorkoli že, 216 m visoko Prenosni stolp Søsterhøj blizu Aarhus doseže vrtoglavo višino 315 metrov nad morjem in je zato najvišja točka na Danskem.

Skoraj 7.500 km dolga obala omogoča prostor za veliko število plaž, ki so skupaj z erozijo vetra in obilico dežja oblikovale pokrajino, danes pa je dežela majhnih gričev in dolin, manjših jezer in majhnih gozdov s plažo. in bora. Geografski položaj Danske na tektonskih ploščah je zmanjšal tveganje potresov in vulkanov, najslabši potresi v današnjem času pa so bili izmerjeni na 4,7 stopnje po Richterjevi lestvici

Gore v Švedska in Norveška zaščititi Dansko pred večino nevihtnega vremena in ledenega zimskega zraka. V kombinaciji z blago temperaturo in visoko stopnjo vlage v vetrovih, ki pihajo iz Severnega morja, je dežela primerna za kmetijstvo, saj se letni časi gladijo in redko povzročajo sušo ali poplave.Bornholm je ena redkih izjem pri celotnem kmetovanju prijaznem terenu, saj je globina tal zmanjšana, podlago pa je mogoče videti na več lokacijah.

Zahodna obala Jutlandije, obrnjena proti Severnemu morju, počasi erodira in nabira erodirano zemljo zaradi tokov v oceanu. Rezultat so široke peščene plaže, medtem ko je vzhodna obala Jutlandije na splošno prekrita s prodnatimi plažami.

Kultura

Šport so priljubljeni na Danskem, pri čemer ima nogomet priljubljenost nogometni nogomet, ki velja za nacionalni šport, čemur sledijo gimnastika, (olimpijski) rokomet in golf. Skupaj z drugimi nordijskimi državami ter Nemčijo in Francijo je Danska med rokometnimi velesilami in tekme med temi ekipami ali svetovnimi in evropskimi pokali pozorno spremljajo rokometni navdušenci.

Druga lastnost danske kulture, kot vam bo povedal kateri koli turistični pamflet, je "Hygge", kar se prevede kot" prijetno "ali" udobno ". Danci bodo sami hitro opozorili, da je to nekako edinstven danski koncept, ki skorajda ni v sozvočju z resničnostjo, vendar verjetno zavzema vidnejše mesto v kulture kot v mnogih drugih državah. Običajno vključuje večerje v domovih ljudi z dolgimi pogovori ob dolgih pogovorih ob svečah in rdečem vinu v družbi prijateljev in družine, vendar se beseda pogosto uporablja za družabne interakcije.

Drug pomemben vidik danske kulture je podcenjevanje in skromnost, ki ni le vidna v danskih vedenjskih vzorcih, temveč tudi zelo pomembna lastnost slavnega danskega oblikovanja, ki narekuje strog minimalizem in funkcionalizem nad bliskovitostjo, kar se dobro prenese tudi na danske ljudi.

Danci so ostro domoljubno kup, vendar na skrivnosten način. Obiskovalce bodo toplo pozdravili, da bodo pokazali državo, na katero so upravičeno ponosni, vendar kakršna koli kritika - pa naj bo konstruktivna - ne bo sprejeta lahkotno, čeprav bo večina Dancev z veseljem ure in ure dokazovala, da se motite ob pivu Carlsberg, namesto da bi postali sovražno. Kljub temu vas ne bo pripeljalo daleč in če boste koga prepričali v kakršne koli druge napake, kot so previsoki davki, slabo vreme ali druge nepomembnosti, se morate takoj vrniti domov in kandidirati za politično funkcijo. Iz istih razlogov na tujce pri dolgotrajnem bivanju mnogi gledajo z določeno mero suma. Kot homogena pogosto velja, da je družba ključ do uspeha Danske, pogosto boste slišali tuje prebivalce, ki se pritožujejo nad nenehnim pritiskom, da bi postali vedno bolj danski, protipriseljenska danska ljudska stranka pa je v teh letih postala vse bolj priljubljena in je prevzela 21% glasov na zadnjih volitvah, s čimer je postala druga največja danska politična stranka.

Kot popotnik je torej verjetno, da bodo Danci prijazni in ustrežljivi do vas, vendar le redko na lastno pobudo začnejo stike in pogovore z vami. Na ljudi pogosto lahko gledamo kot na hladne, dvomljive in celo nekoliko nesramne, vendar je to le na videz. Traja lahko čas, da se zares spoprijateljite z Danec. Če ne drugega, udarite v kateri koli lokal v mestu in vas bodo toplo pozdravili, ko pospravite prvih nekaj piv.

Pitje alkoholnih pijač je, pa naj se še tako čudno zdi, ključna sestavina tamkajšnjega družbenega življenja. Danska ima zlasti v primerjavi z drugimi skandinavskimi državami zelo liberalen odnos do uživanja alkohola, tako glede družbenega kot pravnega vidika. Za mnoga družabna srečanja je alkohol nujen (med vikendi) in je pozitiven dejavnik za sprostitev ozračja. Uživanje pitja je najverjetneje najboljši način za spoznavanje Danca.

Okolje

Na Danskem je veliko vetrnih elektrarn, več jih je na morju.

Dansko pogosto hvalijo kot eno najbolj zelenih držav na svetu, toda posamezni Danci so poleg vseprisotnih koles presenetljivo brezbrižni do okolja, kljub svojemu ugledu in so dejansko odgovorni za toliko emisij toplogrednih plinov kot večina drugih narodnosti. Tako kot pri mnogih drugih stvareh se tudi ta šteje za kolektivno odgovornost in jo varno igra v roke vlada, ki pa je z velikim uspehom pod socialdemokratskim vodstvom izvedla vrsto reform, predvsem zelena obdavčitev, med letoma 1993 in 2001, zaradi česar je bila danska družba kot celota (zlasti v industrijski proizvodnji) ena najbolj energetsko učinkovitih na svetu. Kot se je izkazalo, je šlo tudi za dobro poslovanje in zelena tehnologija je postala eden največjih držav v izvozu, vključno s polji, kot so termostati, vetrne turbine in izolacija doma. Zaradi tega zelene politike uživajo nenavadno široko podporo med ljudmi in celotnim političnim spektrom. 20% celotne proizvodnje energije prihaja iz obnovljivih virov energije, predvsem vetrne energije, kar je v glavnem omogočeno s skupnim nordijskim energetskim trgom in tehnološko naprednim mednarodnim elektroenergetskim omrežjem. Poleg danske vetrne energije je to omrežje povezano tudi z velikimi hidroenergetskimi viri na Norveškem in Švedsko, nekaterimi švedskimi jedrskimi viri, in ga je mogoče zlahka regulirati navzgor in navzdol, da bi uravnotežili nezanesljivo proizvodnjo vetra.

Vetrne turbine na splošno ponoči proizvedejo več energije, kot jo lahko porabijo danska podjetja, podnevi pa ne proizvedejo dovolj, da bi pokrile porabo. Namestitev sončne energije v domače hiše je bila podprta z usmerjenimi znižanji davkov, da bi ustvarili sekundarni obnovljivi vir energije, ki je aktiven v dnevnih urah. Kot rezervo so stare elektrarne na premog in nafto pripravljene za proizvodnjo, črni ali rjavi izhodi pa so za dansko prebivalstvo nepredstavljivi.

Zelena območja trajnosti, ponovne uporabe in ekološke pridelave so poleg proizvodnje energije in učinkovitosti zelo pomembna in se večinoma izvajajo v vsakdanjem življenju. Danci imajo takoj za Švico drugo največjo porabo ekoloških proizvodov glede na velikost prebivalstva. Skoraj vse trgovine in supermarketi prodajajo organsko certificirane alternative.

Vse te vzvišene zelene izvedbe imajo dejansko nekaj oprijemljivih posledic za popotnike:

• Plastične vrečke stanejo; 1-5 kr - nepovratno, zato pri nakupu živil prinesite vrečko za večkratno uporabo.
• V pločevinkah in steklenicah je na voljo 1-3 kr.
• Številna stranišča imajo polovični in polni gumb za splakovanje - sami ugotovite, kdaj uporabiti katerega.
• Obstaja približno 100% (4 kr) davek na bencin, skupna cena se običajno giblje med 9-11 kr / l.
• V mnogih okrožjih morate odpadke razvrstiti v dva ločena "biološka" in "sežigljiva" vsebnika.
• Voda iz pipe je pitna in še bolj kakovostna kot katera koli ustekleničena voda, ki jo lahko kupite.

For the environmentally conscious or just gastronomically interested traveller, it might be worth noting that the rise of organic farming in Denmark has nurtured a thriving and lively grassroots food culture throughout the country with many regional specialities of a high quality. This comprise all kinds of agricultural organic products and you can buy them, especially farmers produce and dairy, in all larger retail stores and at many farms. Organic is called Økologisk in Danish and organic state-certified products are labelled with a red Ø. When shopping for imported products, look for the EU-certification, showing small yellow stars outlining the shape of a leaf.

Danish holidays and events

Obstajajo several celebrations throughout the year. Traditional holidays and festivities you are most likely to encounter includes:

• Carnival (Fastelavn) is held in late winter, seven weeks before Easter sets in. Almost exclusively festivities for children. Special cakes known as fastelavnsboller is sold in bakeries.

It is all very relaxed, no fireworks or animated debates. Except for convenience stores and small supermarkets, no stores are open.
• Fall. The forty-second week of the year is the fall holidays for school children. Historically it was the potato holiday. Most parents will arrange to have week 42 off as well. This means that you can not expect low-seasons prices this week. On the other hand, many museums and attractions will extend their opening hours or open up again even if they had closed for the season. Make sure to make reservation for ferries, trains, etc.
• J-day, first Friday in November. This is the day when the Christmas beer is released. Go to any bar and party with the Danes. When the beer truck arrives you might get a free Christmas beer and a Christmas beer hat.

The border control in Copenhagen Airport

COVID-19 informacije: Three border crossings remain open at the terrestrial border to Germany — Sæd (south of Tønder), Kruså and Frøslev. The Danish authorities publish a list of countries whose citizens may enter Denmark as tourists. Entry into Denmark has current information about entry requirements. International ferry lines: Fjordline: The route Stavanger, Norway to Hirtshals was suspended 16 March. The routes Bergen, Norway and Langesund, Norway to Hirtshals were suspended 15 March. In order to maintain operations between Norway and Denmark a new temporary route from Kristiansand, Norway to Hirtshals has been opened. All other ferry routes resumed operation.

(Information last updated 15 Aug 2020)

Denmark is not only the gateway to Scandinavia in cultural terms, but certainly also geographically, and as such the country is well connected with the rest of the European continent and to Scandinavia. A plethora of ferries connects Denmark with Europe and Scandinavia, and Copenhagen airport even more so serves as the main Scandinavian hub, since its southern latitude makes it a natural stopping point for flights between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe.

Visas

Denmark is a member of the Schengen Agreement.

• There are normally no border controls between countries that have signed and implemented the treaty. This includes most of the European Union and a few other countries.

• Rejseplanen - "The Journey Planner"

From Sweden

Direct trains are connecting Stockholm and Copenhagen several times a day. The travel time is around 5 hours.

Also, there are commuter/regional trains branded "Øresundståg" connecting various towns and cities in southern Sweden to Copenhagen. The trains operate on regular intervals, typically once an hour. The service between Malmö and Copenhagen operates 24 hours a day, with up to 6 trains per hour in each direction during rush hour. The travel time between Malmö and Copenhagen is around 35-40 minutes.

From Germany

There are direct trains from Hamburg to Copenhagen and from Hamburg to Aarhus. The Hamburg-Copenhagen line is served by three trains daily as well as one overnight service. The daytime services go via the Puttgarden-Rødby ferry crossing, where the trains go onto the ferry for the 45-minute crossing. The travel time is roughly 4½-5 hours. The overnight service uses the overland route via Jutland and Funen. There are no couchette or sleeper accommodations on the night trains - only regular seats are offered. Please note that the new timetable will bring changes to the Hamburg-Copenhagen route starting from mid-December 2019 (see more below). The Hamburg-Aarhus line is served by two trains daily, and the travel time is roughly 4½ hours.

Besides, there are InterCity trains from Flensburg to Denmark every other hour. Some of these trains terminate in Fredericia, while others continue to Aarhus. Fredericia is a reasonably big station, where passengers can change to trains to many towns and cities throughout Denmark. There are also trains from Niebüll to Tønder, from where there are trains to Ribe and Esbjerg.

New timetable for trains between Hamburg and Denmark

On December 15, 2019, the timetable will change. From this day forward there will be three direct trains daily between Hamburg and Copenhagen via Odense. This means the trains will no longer be using the Puttgarden-Rødby ferry route, but instead take the overland route via Jutland and Funen. There will continue to be two direct trains daily between Hamburg and Aarhus. Passengers on the Copenhagen-bound trains can change in Kolding for services to Aarhus. Likewise, passengers on the Aarhus-bound trains can change in Fredericia for services to Odense and Copenhagen. The travel time Hamburg-Copenhagen and Hamburg-Aarhus will be around 4½ hours.

Z avtom

Denmark is directly connected to the German Autobahn on route E45 (German route 7), which passes close to Hamburg and runs along the east coast of the Jutland peninsula, all the way to Frederikshavn in the North, passing through Denmark's second city Aarhus along the way. Many drivers going from Germany to the Danish capital opt for one of the regular car ferries, which shortens the trip by 137 km from Hamburg and 309 km from Berlin respectively, and avoids the kr 235 bridge toll, so the price of the ferry crossing is nearly offset by extra gas needed to take the long way around.

From Sweden catch route E20 from Göteborg (312 km) or E4 from Stockholmu (655 km) to Malmö and connect with the Øresund bridge (325 kr). Many Norwegians also opt for this route when going to Copenhagen, but there are several car ferries crossing the strait between the two countries, especially to Hirtshals on the north tip of Jutland, which is connected to the Danish highway network.

Z avtobusom

If you are in one of the neighbouring countries, long distance buses offer a good economical alternative to trains. From Germany several bus companies operate routes from Hamburg and Berlin to Copenhagen and Aarhus. A trip from Berlin to Copenhagen can cost as little as 200 kr, but normally will set you back around 300 kr (€40) and take around 8 hours. Another popular route Hamburg to Aarhus takes around 5½ hours. Check out the following companies; Flixbus, Eurolines, in Abildskou. Many of the companies running Intercity buses in Germany also serve stops in Denmark.

For Scandinavia there are three daily connections and a night-bus from Gothenburg (4½ hours) and Oslo (8 hours), and two daily buses from Stockholm (9 hours) divided into a day and a night bus, check out GoByBus^{[mrtva povezava]} in Swebus for prices and schedules - when searching it might be useful to know Copenhagen is Köpenhamn in Swedish.

Due to the Bosnian war in the 1990s there are several bus companies serving the Bosnian diaspora, which provide a cheap and čisto way of getting to the other side of the European continent. Toptourist in Autoprevoz runs from various destinations in Bosnia and Hercegovina in Srbija to Denmark, Off-season approx 1,000 kr for a return ticket.

The fastest way between Norway and the continent are through the Danish highways, this has ensured frequent ferry connections to Norway, with the busiest port being Hirtshals, from where a trip to Norway takes as little as 3½ hours. Other busy routes are the Rødby-Puttgarden ferry - the fastest route between Sweden and Copenhagen to continental Europe - which remains one of the busiest ferry crossings in the world (though a bridge is on the drawing board). An alternative route from Poland to Zealand is from Świnoujście via the ports in Ystad ali Trelleborg in Sweden and the Øresund Bridge. Ferries are generally of a very high standard and safety regulations are strictly adhered to.

Long distance train travel is done with DSB, the Danish State Rail system. A number of long distance bus companies also operate. Each region in Denmark has its own local public transportation company. For public transportation (trains, buses and ferries) use the online travel planner Rejseplanen.

There are two ways to buy tickets. For local trips you can buy a ticket from the regional transportation company based on a zone system. This ticket is valid on all public transportation including DSB trains for one to two hours (depending on the number of zones you travel). Most public transportation companies offer a number of passes which can save you a substantial amount on transportation.

Rejsekort is an electronic ticketing system. For travellers it could makes sense to get the Anonymous prepaid card. The personal version will be expensive and take several weeks to obtain. The card costs 80 kr which is not refundable, and the balance on the card must be at least 70 kr when you start a trip (600 kr for inter-regional trips) which make it hard to end up with an empty card; but maybe you can pass the card on to a dane when you leave. But the discounts are substantial so if you plan more than a few trips it is probably worth it. Several travellers can share the same card (on busses you have to tell the driver that you are more than one using the same card before you).

Z avtobusom

Long distance bus-service between Jutland and Copenhagen used to be a matter of preference rather than cost, but a number of low cost bus lines have begun crossing the country at much lower prices, albeit also at a much more limited schedule.

• Abildskou is the established long distance operator with up to 9 departures each day to various city's in Jutland. Most departures uses a fast ferry connection across the Kattegat sea. Prices range from 150 kr for a limited number of discounted tickets, to 300 kr for a regular ticket.
• Rød Billet Tickets range between 99-180 kr, but departures are limited to 1-4 per day. Crosses the Great Belt bridge.

Z vlakom

Rail transport is a comfortable and very safe way of getting around in Denmark. You can bring your bike, even on city-lines.

The primary Danish train company is DSB. Many feeder lines for the principal train line in eastern Jutland are now operated by British company Arriva, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn. Some small rail lines are operated by other regional companies. DSB also operates the S-Tog commuter rail system around the Greater Copenhagen area. Eurail passes are valid on all DSB and Arriva trains. Danish trains are very comfortable, very modern, and can be very expensive. To ensure on-time departure, the doors of the trains are closed up to 1 minute prior to departure. Tickets can be purchased at station ticket offices, DSB 7-Elevens, from vending machines in the stations and via DSB's app or website. Most regional and long distance trains have 230 V power outlets. Free Wi-Fi is available on all IC/ICL trains, and on some Regional trains.

If you are not travelling on a rail pass, try looking for an Oranžna ali Orange Fri ticket. These are a limited number of heavily discounted tickets that are available on most departures. They can only be purchased on DSB's website or in the DSB app, and popular departures tend to sell out in advance. Senior citizen tickets (65-billet) and youth tickets (Ungdomsbillet) offer 25% discount (not always available for short journeys) on all departures.

The express trains marked as ICL (InterCity-Lyntog, or simply Lyntog – meaning 'lightning train') are the fastest, but also the most popular, so seat reservations are highly advisable. Ordinary InterCity trains are generally less crowded, and the time difference is often negligible on trips of an hour or less.

While the rail network had been neglected for decades with both the overall network density and electrification below the standards of Denmark's northern and – especially – southern neighbors, there has been a lot of investment since about the 1990s. Among other things the connection to Germany is planned to be upgraded and expanded with a new tunnel across the Fehmarn Belt to open around 2030.

There's generally no sale of food onboard Danish trains. It's advisable to buy something to eat and drink before longer journeys.

S trajektom

The only way get to most of the smaller islands is by ferry. Obstajajo 55 domestic ferry routes v državi. The most important ferry company is Molslinjen.

Ferries are the best way to get to Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea, although it also can be reached by plane. Combined train and ferry tickets can be purchased on DSB's website. Through tickets are available between Copenhagen and Rønne (booking is mandatory). There is also a bus that serves this route - Gråhund Bus 886 from Copenhagen to Ystad, where it links with the ferry to Bornholm.

Poglej tudi: Driving in Denmark

The Marguerite Route sign - an indication of a scenic route.

Driving in Denmark between cities is very easy, with well-maintained roads everywhere. Danes generally drive by the rules, but may not be very helpful to other drivers in ceding right of way, etc. and stick very rigid to keep to their rights. There are no toll-roads except the two big bridges: Storebæltsbroen med Zelandije in Funen (215 kr one way), and Øresundsbron med Kopenhagen in Malmö (235 kr one way).

Touring Denmark by car can be a wonderful experience and highly recommended. Margueritruten (The Marguerite Route) is a 3500 km long connected route of small scenic roads passing 100 important Danish attractions. It is marked by brown signs with the white Marguerite Daisy flower and is also marked on most road maps.

Vožnja

When entering Denmark by motor vehicle, you will be met by a sign like this, with simple instructions, at the border.

Unless otherwise posted, speed limits are 130 km/h (80 mph) on the motorways, 80 km/h (50 mph) outside build-up areas and 50 km/h (30 mph) in build-up areas. Vehicles with caravans or trailers as well as trucks are limited to 80 km/h on motorways, 70 km/h on roads outside build-up areas and 50 km/h in build-up areas, even though other speed limits may be indicated. Speeding occurs frequently, especially on motorways, though dedicated efforts by the Danish police on speeding, has made more people aware of speed limits. Trucks in Denmark generally do about 90 km/h on motorways and trucks overtaking each other on long stretches of motorway (colloquially known as elephant races) occurs frequently.

Fines ranges between 500 kr and 10,000 kr and a driving ban in Denmark.

Wearing seat belts in cars and vans is compulsory (if fitted), and children under 135 cm and or under 3 years of age, must use approved safety seating devices adapted to their height and weight.

Headlights must be switched on when driving at all times (and dipped during sun hours), regardless of weather conditions or whether it is a night or day, so switch them on.

Drivers and passengers of motorcycles and mopeds must all wear full face helmets.

Though required under law, little use is made of indicators on roundabouts, so generally if the car is not indicating it is leaving the roundabout, give way as it is invariable going round. When changing between lanes on motorways use of turn signals prior to- and during the lane change is mandatory.

On open roads, especially those with an accompanying cycle path, expect drivers turning right to come to an almost dead stop to check that they are not cutting in front of a cyclist, even if there is no way even an Olympic cyclist could appear from nowhere on an entirely cycle free horizon.

Right turn on red is not permitted.

Denmark allow drivers to have 0.05 percent alcohol in the bloodstream while driving (for most people this is equivalent to having consumed one drink or less), and Danish police is very aware of possible drunken drivers. Fine is calculated as (percent of alcohol in blood) × 10 × (your monthly salary before tax).

Watch out for the bicycles in the cities, especially when turning across bicycle lanes, the bicycles always have right of way. Special care should be taken at Roundabouts! Cyclists in general seem suicidal to drivers from other countries, as they will not look, or slow down if turning onto the road in front of you. After sunset, lights on bikes seem to be voluntary - especially in the bigger cities - even though it is in fact compulsory.

You must always carry your driving license, vehicle registration document, and certificate of motor insurance in the car. It is compulsory to have a warning triangle in the car, and to use it if you experience breakdowns on highways or on regular roads where you are not able to move your car out of the way.

The road signs in Europe differ substantially to those e.g. in the Americas. The warning signs are triangular but have symbols that should be understandable. These are some European signs that could need explanation for foreign visitors.

Parkirišče

Parking disc set for 02:50 or 14:50. According to the rules this disc should actually have been set at 03:00 (or 15:00)

Ease of driving inside cities is a different story. Congestion in and around the major cities, especially during rush hours, can be a trial for some people. If you are in your own car, it is wise to park it in a convenient central place and walk or use public transport, bike or taxi to get around the big cities. Most parking areas requires the use of parking discs/parking clock faces (in Danish parkeringsskiver or "P-skiver" in short) which must be placed in the right side of the front window, with the clock facing out of the window and the hour hand set to the time you park (there is no minute hand). The rules state that the hour hand should be set to the next "full" quarter hour. If you for instance arrive at 13:16 at a parking space with 30 minutes parking you should set the parking disc to 13:30, and you will only be due back at your car at 14:00.

Some places require a parking ticket from a nearby parking ticket vending machine to be placed in the car, in the lower right corner of the dash-board, readable from outside the car. Some more modern parking ticket systems allow the purchase of parking tickets using text-messages from cell-phones, though this can be a very expensive affair from foreign numbers. The majority of the parking ticket vending machines accepts international credit and debit cards, however this is still a large quantity that only accepts Danish national credit cards or coins. In some areas - especially in the Copenhagen area - have multiple vending machines with different parking coverage. In this case the coverage is indicated with a map on left or right side of the machine. Be sure to check that the machine actually covers the area you have parked.

Renting a car

Renting a car is a convenient, efficient and though relatively expensive way to explore Denmark, especially if you intend to visit more remote areas, where train and bus services may be less frequent. Prices starts about 400 kr/day at the big car rental chains, but with limited mileage, typically 100 km per lease and an additional 25 km/day. It is not uncommon for the car rental chains to require the drivers to be at the age of 21 or higher and require that payment be done with an international credit card.

If you are not a resident of Denmark you can rent a tax-free car at major companies from approx 230 kr per day with free mileage. If you order online, make sure that you are not booking as a resident of Denmark.

Be aware that Denmark is no exception to the widespread scam of adding hidden charges to your car rental bill, and not including services like auto assistance. Also, unlike other goods and services, quoted car rental rates may not include the 25% VAT or sales tax for purchases by private people. Carefully read the rental agreement before you accept your car.

Auto assistance

If you need auto assistance, you should generally inquire with your insurance company, as they will usually have made arrangements with a local company. If they have not, try one of the following companies, but expect to pay €100-300 for a simple service like towing to nearest shop.

S kolesom

Roadspace reserved for cyclists is prevalent in all Danish towns.

Main article: Cycling in Denmark

Biking in Denmark is, in general, safe and easy. Drivers are used to bikes everywhere, and all major cities have dedicated, curbed bike lanes along the main streets. Denmark is quite flat, but can be windy, cold or wet on a bike. Bikes are generally allowed on trains (separate ticket sometimes needed).

Biking on the expressways (Danish: motorvej) is prohibited, and this also includes the Great Belt Bridge and the Øresund Bridge. Trains can be used between Nyborg in Korsør and between Copenhagen and Malmö, if you need to cross the bridges.

Official marked routes across the country can be found on Poti z oznakami.

By thumb

It is quite easy to hitchhike in Denmark. People who pick up hitchhikers usually speak English.

Destination boards are recommended. For safety reasons, it is illegal to hitchhike on the expressways; use the on ramps and service areas. When crossing by ferry, try to get into a car that already paid for the ticket.

If you hitchhike from the southern part of Denmark (direction from Hamburg or Kiel, Germany), and continue in direction to Copenhagen, make sure the driver does not stop in Kolding. If he does, ask him to stop at the last gas station before Kolding. On the Kolding expressway crossing there is no place to hitchhike and it is one of the worst places in Europe for hitchhikers.

Check out the Tips for hitchhiking article here on Wikivoyage if you are new to hitchhiking.

Z letalom

Scandinavian Airlines in Norveški operate domestic routes, both of them either from or to Copenhagen Airport. There are no domestic routes between regional airports, but some islands are served by the Roskilde airport. Since most of the country's airports were built as military airfields during the Second World War, they are often inconveniently located far from town centres, which, as a general rule, makes train travel nearly as fast from town centre to town centre for destinations less than 3 hours by train from Copenhagen. For destinations further afield, trains will often get you where you want to go a lot cheaper. Competition is heavy and it is sometimes possible to find plane tickets cheaper than the train if you book well ahead of your planned departure or can travel at off-peak hours. This is especially true for the Copenhagen–Aalborg v.v. route which has the most competition.

Airports with domestic traffic are: Kopenhagen, Billund, Aarhus, Aalborg, Karup, Sønderborg in Bornholm.

Some of the more remote islands, if there is any such thing in a country as small as Denmark, also sees regular taxi flights from Roskilde airport to their small airfields, on-board small propeller aircraft. The most trafficked route are between Roskilde and the islands of Læsø in Anholt, where there are daily flights bookable on-line or by phone. These flights tend to be fairly expensive though, with the price hovering around 1,000 kr for a one-way ticket.

Govori

Poglej tudi: Danish phrasebook

Denmark's national language is Danski (Dansk), a Scandinavian language rooted in Old Norse. For this reason, modern Danish is similar to Norveški Bokmål and somewhat to Švedsko, and is to some extent intelligible to speakers of those languages, especially in written form. However, its sound is more influenced by the guttural Nemško language, rather than the lilting languages found to the north and understanding spoken Danish may be a trace more difficult to those who only speak Swedish or Norwegian.

angleščina is widely spoken in Denmark with close to 90% of the population speaking it, many at a high level of fluency. As a foreigner you will get no extra points for trying to speak the native language, and Danes in general have limited patience with non-fluent speakers. So except for a few words like Tak (thank you) or Undskyld (excuse me), English-speakers are much better off just speaking English than fighting their way through a phrasebook. The Danish language has no equivalent to the English word "please" so at times it may seem as though Danes are rude when speaking English.

More than 58% of the population has a good knowledge of the Nemško language. It is widely spoken among seniors and especially in Southern Jutland (Sønderjylland / Northern Schleswig), where it has the status of a minority language. Elsewhere in the country, younger people prefer to speak English, and have a lesser command of the German language.

Francosko is also spoken by some people, as all Danish students receive at least three years of lessons in one other foreign language than English, but given the Danes' limited contact with the French language in daily life, fluency tends to be lagging.

Foreign television programmes and films are almost always shown in their original language with Danish subtitles. Only children's programmes are dubbed into Danish.

The Danish Islands

Although not well known to casual visitors, Denmark is an island nation, with 72 inhabited islands and a further 371 uninhabited ones. Apart from the well known blockbuster Bornholm, with its rich history, mystic round churches, many of the small islands are rarely visited by tourists, even though they make up for some of the country's most intriguing destinations. If you have the time consider visiting one of the two remote islands in the Kattegat sea - Læsø in Anholt, which locals jokingly refers to as the "Danish desert belt" since it sees much less rainfall than the rest of the country, and have large swaths of sand dunes covering much of the two islands, peculiar architecture and a laid back vibe. Also worth considering is the Island sea south of Funen, one of the country's most beautiful areas, which also includes the larger islands of Langeland in Ærø with some impossibly picturesque villages, lush green and hilly farmland and wild horses, and Samsø, geographically in the centre of the country, which boasts numerous beautiful villages and a yearly music festival (Samsø Festival) in the summer. Končno v South Jutland, the islands of Fanø, Mandø in Rømø are located in the Wadden sea, an inter tidal zone forming a shallow body of water with tidal flats and wetlands. It is rich in biological diversity, with seals and an amazing range of ptic, but also have some spectacular beaches and cute villages.

Viking heritage

Poglej tudi: Vikings and the Old Norse

Much has happened since the Danes were wreaking havoc to the coasts of Europe, but the more peaceful modern version of the Danes still take immense pride in their Viking heritage. The most visual heritage is the burial mounds dotting the landscape everywhere in the country (actually, most of these are from the earlier Bronze Age period), but there are a few attractions for the inclined to visit. Easiest and perhaps most interesting are the two museums near Roskilde, easily reached on a day trip from Kopenhagen - the Viking ship museum is extraordinary with some well preserved ships and the Lejre Experimental Centre, a living history museum with a recreated Viking village. Still on Zelandije but a further west in Slagelse, is the remains of the once mighty Trelleborg Viking ring castle and some reconstructed long houses. V Jutland there is another ring castle ruin near Hobro, Fyrkat, including 9 reconstructed farmhouses. Further south is Jelling, home of a pair of massive carved runestones from the 10th century, one of them celebrating Denmark's conversion to Christianity - the end of the Viking age. Still in the South, but along the West coast, Ribe (the oldest city of Denmark) is home to both a Viking Museum and a Viking experimental centre.

The National Museum in Copenhagen, also has a good collection of Viking artefacts. Mesto Frederikssund holds an annual outdoors Viking play from the summer solstice and a few weeks forward.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark". There are many fine castles and palaces throughout the country, like Hamlet's Kronborg.

Mainland Denmark has 3 world heritage sites; The Jelling rune stones date back to 900's have been called "Denmark's Birth Certificate", testifying to Denmark's conversion to Christianity around that time, it was erected by what is considered the first official king of Denmark, Gorm The Old, whose son is buried in another of the sights, Roskilde Cathedral, the first Gothic church in Northern Europe build of brick, and the final resting place for most Danish kings and queens ever since. The third, and possibly most famous, is Kronborg castle in Elsinore, home of Shakespeare's Hamlet, prince of Denmark, but also an impressive castle in its own right, guarding the main route to the Baltic sea.

Danish design and architecture

Denmark is renowned for its design heritage made famous by well-known designers, architects and companies as such. It is often described as minimalistic and functionalistic in its approach and includes names such as Jørn Utzon, Arne Jakobsen, Hans Wegner, Poul Henningsen, Georg Jensen, Bang & Olufsen, Royal Copenhagen, and many more.Architecture, furniture, industrial design in general, and the people behind it can be seen and explored many places throughout the country. A good place to start is Danish Design Centre, Danish Design Museum in Danish Architecture Centre, all in Kopenhagen. Throughout Kopenhagen and its surroundings, many examples of great Nordic architecture can be experienced.Other sources to be mentioned are the Trapholt Museum v Kolding, Struer Museum (mostly Bang & Olufsen), the Jørn Utzon dedicated museum in Aalborg, the city hall of Aarhus.

Ali

When public events are arranged, it is customary to find ways to engage people of all ages and economic capabilities, so whether you travel alone, as a family, young, old, handicapped, on a splurge or a budget, you will find interesting activities and events to have fun with and participate in. Many places have special discounts for kids, groups, students and pensioners, and children are generally welcomed everywhere.

In some people's minds (mainly in the countryside, less so in the cities) the inclusiveness and egalitarianism should only pertain to "the Danish tribe" or those who pay high taxes. A contradiction in terms you could say, but these ideas have nevertheless affected Danish society to some degree in the 2000s, mirroring a similar development in Europe and the Western world at large. As a traveller, however, you should not expect to deal with or experience this at all; the values of inclusiveness, equality and egalitarianism are firmly established in Denmark and at the core of Danish culture.

The weather in Denmark is a bit unreliable, so if your plans include outdoor activities, it can be a good idea to have alternative indoor activities as a backup. If you don't mind a day or two of grey weather and a few drops of rain, just make sure to bring a raincoat along.

Plaže

Danska ima zelo dolgo obalo in prevladujejo peščene plaže.

S 7.400 km dolge obale, skoraj enake brazilski in daljše od indijske, niste nikoli daleč od plaže na Danskem. Skoraj vse so javno dostopne in številne plaže so svetovnega razreda z milinami do konca neprekinjenim belim peskom. Nekateri priljubljeni kraji imajo v poletnih mesecih reševalne rešitve in druge objekte, na voljo pa je tudi več plaž in morskih kopališč, na primer Amager Strandpark (beachpark) v Kopenhagnu in Den Permanente (morska kopel) v Aarhusu kot lepi primeri. Danske plaže so priljubljene destinacije ne samo Dancev, temveč tudi turistov, med katerimi imajo nekatere počitnice na plaži celo prednost. Vsako poletje, zlasti na zahodni obali Jutlandije, je resnično napaden več kot 13 milijonov nemških turistov, ponavadi v številnih počitniških domovih, ki obkrožajo tamkajšnjo obalo od severa do juga.

Vreme na Danskem je lahko zapleteno in nezanesljivo; en dan je vroče in sončno, naslednji je sivo in hladno, morda celo dežuje, zato imejte to v mislih in načrtujte v skladu s tem in svoj obisk boste kar najbolje izkoristili. Temperature vode so sredi junija običajno okoli 14 stopinj Celzija, od tam pa do septembra nekoliko topleje. Plitve vode Kattegat pa se segrejejo nekoliko hitreje kot obala Severnega morja na zahodnem Jutlandu. Poletno vreme se na Danskem zelo razlikuje od leta do leta in včasih od tedna do tedna, kar pomeni, da je število kopalnih dni od nič do več kot trideset. Kopališki dan uradno nastopi, ko povprečje temperature morske vode, izmerjene na globini enega metra po državi, doseže 19 stopinj Celzija ali več; vendar so temperature morske vode od 14 do 19 stopinj Celzija dovolj tople, da se potopimo v valove. Kakovost vode je ponavadi dobra na celotnem Danskem, vendar lahko pomembne podatke spremljate on-line na Danska agencija za naravo, vključno z varnostnimi smernicami. Nekatere obale na Danskem imajo zapletene ali naravnost nevarne tokove, ki se jih je treba zavedati; vsako leto se utopijo številni nesrečni (ali slabo obveščeni?) turisti.

Glasbeni festivali

Podpis oranžnega odra festivala Roskilde

Danska ima dolgoletno in ponosno tradicijo na glasbenih festivalih, ki segajo do prvega festivala Roskilde, ki ga je navdihnil Woodstock leta 1972, postali pa so pomemben element danskega poletja in obstaja eden, ki ustreza skoraj vsaki starosti in glasbenim željam med junijem in avgustom in z zelo impresivno udeležbo glede na velikost države. Pravzaprav jih je toliko, da bi bilo naštevanje vsakega izmed njih smešno, toda nekaj najpomembnejših je:

• Festival Roskilde (Junij julij). Eden od veliki štirje rock festivali v Evropi, ki jih vodi neprofitna organizacija. 80.000 prodanih vstopnic in več kot 110.000 udeležencev v Roskilde. 
• Festival Skanderborg (Avgust). 2. največji rock festival s 45.000 udeleženci na edinstveni lokaciji v zgodovinskem gozdu ob obali jezera Skanderborg. 
• Festival Skive (prej Skive Beach Party) privabi skoraj 20.000 gledalcev Skive vsako leto v glavnem gosti danske glasbene skupine in privabi večinoma lokalno množico.
• Langelandski festival (Julij / avgust). Družinsko usmerjen festival na otoku Langeland, 20.000 udeležencev. 
• Jazz festival v Kopenhagnu. (Julij) - Eden izmed najboljših svetovnih jazz festivalov z majhnim in velikim koncertom po vsej Sloveniji Kopenhagen, privabi več kot 20.000 gledalcev. 
• Tønderjev festival (Avgust). V Ljubljani je potekal velik festival ljudske in country glasbe Tønder v Južna Jutlandija. 
• Aarhus Festuge (Avgust / september). 10 dni glasbenih in kulturnih prireditev v mestu Aarhus, z vsako temo drugačno temo. 
• Grøn Koncert. (Julij) - Enodnevni festival, ki gosti nekaj največjih danskih nastopov. Predstava potuje po državi, ponavadi pa se v dvotedenskem obdobju odvija v osmih mestih in nabere skoraj 200.000 ljudi. 
• Karneval v Aalborgu. (Maj) - Čeprav glasba ni glavna atrakcija, je ta karneval največji v severni Evropi in ustvarja vzdušje, zaradi katerega bi bil vsak glasbeni festival ponosen. Glavna parada ima vsako leto drugačno temo, saj se na ulicah obleče in zabava več kot 25.000 ljudi. 

Zabaviščni parki

Danska je polna zabaviščnih parkov in v njej najdete nekaj najbolj znanih na svetu:

Kopenhagenski Tivoli je eden najstarejših takšnih parkov na svetu in po lastnem priznanju Walta Disneya glavni vir navdiha za njegov lastni Disneyland. Tudi v Kopenhagnu, ugnezdena med veličastnimi bukvami Dyrehavsbakkenje najstarejši delujoči zabaviščni park na svetu, v obeh parkih pa je nekaj najstarejših še vedno delujočih rollercoasterjev na svetu iz let 1914 oziroma 1932 in oba sta prejela nagrado ACE Coaster Classic.

Tako kot je znan Legoland v Billundu, rojstnem kraju LEGO. Ta park je največja in najstarejša od zdaj globalne franšize, s svojimi spektakularnimi miniaturnimi LEGO kulisami, zvezdno atrakcijo, in dobrim izborom vznemirljivih voženj za zabavo otrok. Danska

Medtem ko njihovi svetovno znani tekmeci presegajo, obstajajo v državi še štirje največji zabaviščni parki: Sommerland Sjælland, Bonbonland, Fårup Sommerland, Djurs Sommerlandin množico manjših.

Ribolov

Danska s svojo veliko obalo ponuja veliko možnosti za obalni ribolov - za to pa je potrebno dovoljenje [1] ki je na voljo na uradni spletni strani ali vseh poštah v višini 40 kr na dan, 130 kr na teden in 185 kr na leto. Na priloženem lističu pa ste takoj obveščeni o dovoljenih letnih časih in dovoljenih velikostih najpogostejših vrst, ki se srečujejo na danski obali. Morska postrv je pogosta, prav tako trska in pletenica, razen nekaj celinskih fjordov, kakovost vode in s tem populacije rib so razumne.

Kar zadeva sladkovodni ribolov, Danska ponuja raznoliko število potokov in potokov (brez dejanskih rek), v katerih gostujejo losos, rjava, mavrična in morska postrv (v sezoni) ter lipani, pa tudi ščuka, ostriž in roach, kot tudi številna celinska jezera, ki gostijo tudi Zander, Bream in Tench. Sladkovodni ribolov je nekoliko bolj zapleten od obalnega ribolova na Danskem, saj množica lokalnih skupnosti predseduje pravicam do ribolova v določenih vodah, običajno v dogovoru z lastniki zemljišč, kjer so vode, če niso. v lasti države, vendar to pomeni tudi, da so nekateri deli določenega potoka ali potoka zaradi lastništva zemljišča morda izven meja. Predpise o sezonah in velikostih določa država, cene in pogoje za dovoljenja pa urejajo skupnosti. Lokalni turistični uradi so običajno dobro obveščeni in večinoma smejo prodajati dovoljenja, ki so lahko dnevna, tedenska, mesečna ali letna.

Nazadnje, po državi obstaja veliko število objektov "daj in vzemi". Dovoljenja kot takega ne potrebujejo, saj kupite pravico do ribolova za več ur in je zagotovljeno veliko rib - običajno Mavrične postrvi. Številni nakupi so "samopostrežni" v smislu, da izpolnite obrazec in ga odložite ter ustrezno plačilo v poštnem nabiralniku. Ne bodite presenečeni, če pride lastnik kdaj in vas vpraša, ali imate srečo, hkrati pa spremljate število in čas obrazcev, ur in plačil, ki jih je zbral iz škatle.

Lov

Lov na Danskem poteka na podlagi lastnikov zemljišč, ki si pridržujejo pravico do lova v svojih prostorih, nato pa ga po možnosti oddajajo zainteresiranim stranem in natančno spremljajo, kdo in kdaj lovi.

Potrebno je splošno dovoljenje za lov (500 kr), vendar se lov skoraj izključno izvaja z ljudmi, ki jih poznate in imajo lovske pravice na zadevnem zemljišču. Če želite na lov na Danskem, bi se najverjetneje morali sprijazniti z lastnikom zemljišča ali njegovim prijateljem.

Danska zakonodaja o orožju je izredno restriktivna. Na splošno je kakršno koli orožje nezakonito, če ga imate v lasti ali kamor koli. Obstajajo izjeme za lovske in orožarske palice, vendar je za to potrebno posebno dovoljenje, zunaj strelišča (lovišča ali klub) pa je treba orožje skriti in ne nalagati. Številne vrste nožev so tudi nezakonite. Vrste orožja, ki jih ni mogoče uporabiti za lov ali odstrel vsebin - kot so naprstniki -, so povsem nezakonite kadar koli in kjer koli. Globa za nošenje nezakonitega orožja, še posebej, če je pripravljeno za uporabo, je lahko visoka: visoka globa in morda nekaj tednov zapora.

Kolesarjenje

Po vsej državi je bila vzpostavljena mreža kolesarskih poti.

Danska je raj za kolesarje in kamor koli se boste odpravili, vas bodo pričakali ljudje, ki se vozijo s kolesi; mladi in stari, debeli in tanki, za prevoz, zabavo ali šport. Danska je ena izmed držav na svetu, kjer se kolesa najpogosteje uporabljajo. To pomeni tudi, da so kolesarske zmogljivosti dobre, zato je bolj priročno in varno kot marsikje drugje. Najpomembneje pa je, da je država izjemno ravna in je kot nalašč za kolesarjenje po mestu ali na podeželju. Številni Danci in turisti se odpravijo na "kolesarske počitnice" na številna priljubljena, mirna mesta po državi. Prepuščanje kulturi je torej eden najboljših načinov za povezovanje z danskim duhom, pa tudi odličen in enostaven način za raziskovanje skoraj vseh kotičkov kraja. tukaj.

Pomembno pa je razumeti, da so številne podeželske ceste ozke, z občasnim hitrim avtomobilskim prometom in brez kolesarskih stez, zato kolesarjenje na podeželju v teh krajih ni priporočljivo, razen če ste zelo spreten in zavesten kolesar.

Vodni športi

Deskanje na hladnih Havajih na obali Severnega morja. Priljubljeni so vodni športi.

Zaradi velike obale je Danska še posebej odličen kraj za deskanje jadranje na deski in kajtanje. Severna in zahodna obala gostijo nekaj najboljših krajev na svetu, mesto na Klitmøllerju (imenovano "Hladni Havaji") pa celo gosti nogo svetovnega pokala v jadranju na deski vsako leto. Marsikje je enostavno obiskovati tečaje vseh stopenj izkušenj, kar je zelo zabavno in niti ni tako hladno, kot se morda sliši.

Poleg morskih obal obstajajo številne celinske reke, potoki in jezera, ki ponujajo odlične možnosti za uživanje na vodnih poteh. Kanu in kajak so priljubljene dejavnosti in najem opreme je ponavadi kos pogače. Ob priljubljenih rekah se nahajajo mesta za kampiranje, od preprostih brezplačnih zavetišč do popolnoma opremljenih komercialnih lokacij, ki ponujajo vse vrste priložnosti, od nekaj ur zabave do tedenskega "safarija na vodnih poteh".

Nekatera priljubljena mesta za vožnjo s kanuji so jezera in reke okoli Silkeborg, Narodni park Skjern Å, Ribe potok, potok Uggerby na Severnem Jutlandu, Mølle Å (Mill Creek) blizu Kopenhagna, Suså na jugu Zelandije.

Za kajakaštvo po morju je Limfjorden zvok odličen (zlasti okoli otokov Krzno in Mors), otoki južno od Svendborg svetovni razred (Sydfynske Øhavin tudi kanali Kopenhagen ponujajo zanimive priložnosti.

Nakup

Denar

Nacionalna valuta je danska krone (množina "kroner", okrajšana "kr"(Koda ISO: DKK). V bolj "turističnih" trgovinah v Kopenhagnu in na tradicionalnih letoviščih ob zahodni obali Jutlanda in na otoku Bornholm bo pogosto mogoče plačati v evrih. Danska krona je vezana na evro v ozkem pasu plus ali minus 2,25%.

Kroner je na voljo v bakrenih kovancih za 50 øre (½ kron), srebrnih kovancih za 1, 2 in 5 kron z luknjo na sredini in na koncu v trdnih bronastih kovancih za 10 in 20 kron. Opombe prihajajo v nominacijah 50 kr (vijolična), 100 kr (oranžna), 200 kr (zelena) 500 kr (modra) in 1000 kr (rdeča).

Ferska krána in prihajajoče serije grenlandskih bankovcev, čeprav so popolnoma enake nominalne vrednosti, na Danskem niso zakonito plačilno sredstvo (in obratno), vendar jih je po zakonu mogoče brezplačno zamenjati v kateri koli banki v razmerju 1: 1 .

Od 1. januarja 2018 imajo trgovci na Danskem pravno možnost, da od 20:00 do 06:00 ne sprejemajo gotovinskih plačil, da bi izboljšali varnost na delovnem mestu zaposlenih.

Bančništvo

Avtomati so široko dostopni tudi v majhnih mestih, vendar nekateri BankomatPonoči so iz varnostnih razlogov zaprte. Danska beseda je Dankortautomat, hæveautomat ali kontantautomat, in bi ga bilo koristno zapomniti, saj izraz ATM ni splošno znan.

Skoraj vsi stroji, ne glede na operaterja, bodo sprejeli danski jezik Dankort, MasterCard, Maestro, Visa, Visa Electron, American Express, JCB in China UnionPay. Medtem ko večina trgovcev na drobno sprejema mednarodne kreditne in debetne kartice, je nekaj takih, ki še vedno sprejemajo le lokalne Dankort. Skoraj povsod (zlasti za blagajne na prodajnih mestih brez posadke in avtomatizirane prodajne avtomate) morate uporabiti PIN koda s svojo kartico, zato, če to v vaši državi ni običajna praksa, jo pred odhodom od doma ne pozabite zahtevati pri svoji banki. Upoštevajte tudi, da bo večina prodajalcev dodala 3% -4% stroškov transakcije (pogosto brez opozorila), če plačate s tujo kreditno kartico. Nekaj ​​strojev bo ne sprejemajo kode PIN, daljše od 4 znakov, kar lahko povzroči težave severnoameriškim ali drugim evropskim uporabnikom. Vprašajte prodajalca, ki upravlja s strojem, ali sprejema petmestne kode PIN, preden poskusite upravljati s strojem. Vaša kartica bo morda zavrnjena tudi brez vnosa kode PIN, če je nezdružljiva. Brezkontaktna plačila s karticami postajajo vse bolj razširjena in preverjajo, ali vaša banka izda kartice z brezkontaktnimi funkcijami, vendar boste morda vseeno morali podpisati prodajni list ali vnesti kodo PIN, če zapadli znesek presega določen znesek.

Cene

Na Danskem je skoraj vse drago, čeprav so na splošno cene še vedno nekoliko cenejše kot v Sloveniji Norveška. Vsa potrošniška prodaja vključuje 25-odstotni prometni davek (Mame), vendar morajo zakonsko to vključiti prikazane cene, zato so vedno natančne. Če ste zunaj EU / Skandinavije, vam lahko povrnejo del prometnega davka [2] ob odhodu iz države.

Glede na letni indeks cen hotelov za leto 2009 je povprečna cena hotelske nastanitve znašala približno 900 kr. Postelja v hostlu se giblje okoli 200 kr, v Kopenhagnu pa jo lahko najdete ceneje. Medtem ko vam obrok s tremi obroki v običajni restavraciji ponavadi vrne približno 200-300 kr, lahko to storite ceneje, če jeste v kavarnah ali picerijah, 50-100 kr. Raznolikost, kot je 1 l steklenice Coca-Cole, v diskontnih trgovinah stane 10–15 kr, pivo pa vas v supermarketu stane 3–20 kr, v barih pa 20–60 kr. Če ste nekoliko previdni pri svojih stroških, dnevni proračun okoli 700 kr na dan ni nerealen.

Javni prostor pa ponuja kar nekaj prosto dostopnih možnosti za prostočasne dejavnosti, predvsem v večjih mestih. Sem spadajo mestne ulice, mestna kolesa, igrišča, cerkve, številni muzeji in vsi parki, plaže in naravne znamenitosti. V nočnem življenju je večina barov in priljubljenih mest brezplačna.

Domačini, ki živijo blizu meje, pogosto zapeljejo Nemčija za nakup živil, saj so cene bistveno cenejše, zato upoštevajte to možnost, saj med Dansko in Nemčijo ni stalnih mejnih kontrol.

Prekuhavanje

Tradicionalno prevrnitev ni bila pogosta, uvajajo pa jo zunanji vplivi. Ker so stroški storitev samodejno vključeni v račun v restavracijah in hotelih, nasveti za taksiste in podobno pa so vključeni v ceno, bi morali biti napotki podani le v znak resničnega hvaležnosti storitve. Nasveti bodo najpogosteje razdeljeni med natakarje in kuhinjo. Taksisti ne pričakujejo napotkov, kakršna koli dodatna storitev (na primer nošenje torb) bo navedena na potrdilu glede na stopnjo. Čeprav napotkov ni pričakovati in niti ne zahteva, je očitno izjemno storitev zelo cenjeno.

Poleg povsod prisotnih kebab trgovin in stojnic za pice je lahko jedilnica na Danskem dokaj draga, a splačana cena. Kot družina z otroki lahko obedujete v skoraj vseh restavracijah na Danskem, če se vaši otroci obnašajo dobro. Številne restavracije imajo posebno otroško jedilnico (børnemenu v danskem jeziku) po nižji ceni.

V novem tisočletju se je Kopenhagen na svetovnem prizorišču pojavil kot zelo prijetno mesto za ljubitelje hrane in gastronomske popotnike, vrhunec pa je svetovno znana restavracija Noma strežejo in razvijajo novo nordijsko kuhinjo, vendar so številne restavracije z mednarodno gurmansko kulinariko praznovale in pritegnejo pozornost na mednarodni ravni. Kopenhagen ni edino mesto z vrhunskimi restavracijami, ki jih je vredno obiskati, mednarodni gastronomski vodniki pa so v zadnjih nekaj letih svoj preudarni pogled razširili na več krajev zunaj prestolnice. Tri restavracije v Aarhusu so od leta 2015 prejele Michelinove zvezdice, številni kraji v provinci pa so predstavljeni v vodnikih o hrani. Če na Danskem iščete nenavadne gastronomske izkušnje, bi bilo morda dobro malo preučiti Beli vodnik. To ni popoln vodnik, vendar trdi, da je edini avtoritativni vodnik po restavracijah za nordijsko regijo, ki se je začel na Švedskem. Obstajata oba mednarodna različica v angleščini in a Danska različica; danska različica vsebuje najbolj podrobne informacije, čeprav številna kakovostna mesta sploh niso bila zajeta.

Restavracije in restavracije s tradicionalnimi danskimi jedmi so prav tako v porastu po vsej državi in ​​so priljubljene tako pri Dancih kot pri turistih.

V večini večjih mest so pogoste restavracije z mednarodno kulinariko, prav tako restavracije z drugimi kulturnimi okusi, zlasti sredozemskimi in azijskimi. Najdete lahko tudi posebne kraje, kot so japonske, indijske, karibske ali mehiške restavracije. Kakovost hrane je na splošno visoka, s strogo uveljavljenim nacionalnim sistemom nadzora kakovosti. Vsak zaposleni, ki pripravlja hrano, potrebuje higiensko spričevalo, konkurenca pa je navadno preostra, da bi večina nekvalitetnih podjetij preživela. Če se zaradi teh dejstev ne počutite varne, je priljubljenost med domačini ponavadi pokazatelj kakovosti kot v večini drugih držav.

Na Danskem so ekološki pridelki in okoljska ozaveščenost zelo pomembni, kamor koli greste, restavracije in restavracije oglašujejo z ekološko hrano. Po vsej državi obstaja sistem z bronastimi, srebrnimi in zlatimi znaki, ki kažejo, kako velik odstotek hrane je organske hrane. Imenuje se organsko "Økologisk" v danskem jeziku in črka "Ø" (pogosto v rdeči barvi) označuje ekološke pridelke na splošno.

Tradicionalna hrana

Flæskesteg (svinjska pečenka z ocvirki) s krompirjem, rjavim omakom in vloženim rdečim zeljem. Tradicionalna danska hrana je pogosto obilen obrok in se dobro ujema s pivom.

Tradicionalna danska vozovnica je podobna Srednjeevropska kuhinja. Smørrebrød je povsod povsod, številni obroki pa so vroči in nasitni, na primer frikadeller (ocvrte mesne kroglice, servirane na različne načine), stegt flæsk (ocvrti rezini svinjskega trebuha s krompirjem in peteršiljevo belo omako), flæskesteg (pečena svinjina z ocvirki, postrežena z rdečim zeljem, krompirjem in rjavo omako), æggekage (velika omleta s ocvrto svinjino, gorčico in rženim kruhom), hakkebøf (sesekljan zrezek, postrežen z mehko čebulo, krompirjem, kumaricami in rjavo omako), biksemad (kaša s krompirjem, mesom, čebulo in ocvrtim jajcem), Tarteletter (majhne lupine iz listnatega testa, napolnjene s toplo obaro iz piščanca ali kozic s šparglji, služijo kot predjed), rezilo s kremnimi gobami ali wienerschnitzel s kašo in zelenim grahom. Tradicionalna danska kuhinja se še posebej dobro poda k pivu. Posnetki akvavita oz snaps tradicionalno uživajo, vendar predvsem ob posebnih priložnostih ali ko je gostov konec. V preteklosti je na bolj fino dansko kuhinjo vplivala francoska kuhinja in vključuje različne juhe, pečenko (raca, govedina, teletina in svinjina) in mousse (na Danskem imenujejo fromage). Pečenke običajno postrežemo s krompirjem, blanširano zelenjavo, vloženimi jagodami in rjavo omako ali glace. Z vinom lahko uživate v tradicionalni danski kuhinji. Spodbuja se pitje skupaj z obroki, saj hrano okrepijo pijače, in obratno.

Tradicionalni kruh na Danskem je Rugbrød, posebna vrsta temnega in gostega kislega testa, polnozrnatega rženega kruha in je še vedno priljubljena izbira, zlasti za smørrebrød. Navadni beli kruh, lokalno znan kot franskbrød (French Bread), je enako priljubljen in na voljo povsod. Rundstykker je posebna vrsta hrustljavih žemljic iz belega kruha, ki jih običajno postrežemo za zajtrk, zlasti ob posebnih priložnostih ali ob nedeljah zjutraj. Obstaja več vrst, vendar so vse lahke teksture in najbolj priljubljene so håndværker z izdatnim posipom makovih semen. Lahko kupiš rundstykker v vsaki pekarni in na večini krajev jim postrežemo z namazom z maslom, če vprašate. Jemo jih kar tako ali s sirom, narezki ali marmeladami po vaši izbiri.

Okoli božiča in karnevala pripravljajo posebne torte. Vključuje posebno božično pecivo julekage (veliko dansko pecivo z marcipanom, korintskimi rozinami, sukadejo in oreščki), pebernødder (majhni pikantni piškoti, ki se tradicionalno uporabljajo za številne igre) in klejner (globoko ocvrto testo v obliki romba, aromatizirano s kardamomom in limonino lupinico ter le rahlo sladko) in za karneval februarja vključuje različne fastelavnsboller (Karnevalske žemljice), ki običajno vsebujejo žemljice, napolnjene s pecivom, z ledom in lušči pecivo, napolnjeno z mešanico stepene smetane in želejem iz rdečega ribeza.

Meniji se spreminjajo okoli božičnih in velikonočnih praznikov in naprej Mortensaften (Dan sv. Martina), pečena raca je hrana po izbiri. Ne da bi se tukaj podrobno seznanili z božičnimi in velikonočnimi jedilniki, æbleskiver, gløgg, ris á la mande in brændte mandler so pogoste sladke dobrote, ki jih bomo pripravili decembra. Bleskiver so ocvrte kroglice napihnjenega testa (po teksturi podobne ameriškim palačinkam), ki jih postrežemo z marmelado in sladkorjem v prahu. Gløgg je kuhano vino različnih receptov, ki ga uživajo vroče (odrasli) samostojno ali v spremstvu æbleskiver ali božični piškoti. Ris-á-la-mande je sladek rižev puding s stepeno smetano, vanilijo in sesekljanimi mandlji, postrežen hladen s češnjevo omako in brændte mandler (zažgani mandlji) so karamelizirani mandlji, običajno praženi v velikih odprtih kotlih in prodani na ulicah.

Smørrebrød

Tradicionalno dansko kosilo je smørrebrød (odprti sendviči, ponavadi na rženi kruh) z najrazličnejšimi prelivi, od kislega sleda, ocvrte morske plošče in kozic do mesnih narezkov, paštet, različnih solat ali sirov. Školjke strežejo na belem kruhu, številne restavracije pa vam nudijo kruh. Smørrebrød, ki ga postrežejo ob posebnih priložnostih, v restavracijah za kosilo ali ga kupijo v trgovinah za poneti, je nakopičen višje in bolj razkošen kot dnevna cena. Danski rženi kruh (rugbrød) je temen, rahlo kiselkast in pogosto polnozrnat. Poskusiti morajo vsi obiskovalci.

Pølsevogn

A Pølsevogn v Aarhus.

Noben obisk Danske ne bi bil popoln brez pokroviteljstva Pølsevogn (osvetljeno: klobasa-voz). To so ulični prodajalci, ki prodajajo različne klobase (svinjino) in hrenovke. Nekateri večji kraji imajo tudi hamburgerje in druge izdelke za hitro prehrano.Če iščete hiter prigrizek, ki ga lahko posnamete na poti, poskusite danski hrenovko, ki jo postrežete v žemljici z različnimi pritrditvami. Najboljši način, kako poskusiti danski hrenovko, je dobiti a "ristet hotdog med det hele"; hrenovka s klobaso na žaru in del, ki vsebuje kečap, močno gorčico, dansko remoulado (danski prevzem francoske omake remoulade, sestavljen iz majoneze z dodatkom sesekljanih kumaric in kurkume za barvo), ocvrta in surova čebula, končana na vrhu z vloženimi kumaricami. Je neurejeno, nezdravo in res dobro! Če vas zanima, si ob strani kupite ogreto čokoladno mleko Cocio, tradicionalno spremljajočo pijačo. V večini krajev prodajajo tudi kuhane klobase rdeče barve, dansko specialiteto. Smešno jih je videti, nekatere druge klobase v prodaji pa so bolj okusne.

Lokalne dobrote

Sir Esrom. Danska proizvaja nekaj odličnih sirov in mlečnih izdelkov.

Danska proizvaja nekaj najboljših mlečnih izdelkov na svetu. Proizvodnja je dobro organizirana, higienska, izobraževalna in tehnična raven pa so tako dobri. Za državo, veliko Danske, je sorta izjemna tako pri velikih industrijskih proizvajalcih (predvsem Arla) kot pri majhnih lokalnih mlekarnah, pa tudi pri različnih pasmah krav ter običajni, ekološki in biodinamični pridelavi; vse na voljo po vsej državi v večini večjih trgovin. Kot danske specialitete ymer je fermentiran mlečni izdelek, nekoliko podoben jogurtu, in koldskål je sladkana mlečna pijača (ali sladica) različnih okusov v prodaji spomladi in poleti. Morda najbolj zanimivo za popotnike, Danska proizvaja nekaj čudovitih sirov. Več jih je lokalnih dobrot, kot npr rygeost, Danablue, ostri ostareli polmehki siri (Gammel Ole in drugi) oz Vesterhavsost, poltrdi sir, zorjen v jamah na zahodnem Jutlandu. Lahko jih kupite v trgovinah, delikatesah ali uživate v številnih restavracijah. Podjetje Arla je lansiralo vrsto vrhunskih mlečnih izdelkov, predvsem pa sirov, pod blagovno znamko Unika, na voljo v trgovinah Unika v Kopenhagnu in Aarhusu. V nekaterih restavracijah in nekaj supermarketih prodajajo tudi mlečne izdelke Unika.

Jomfruhummer (langoustine), lokalna dobrota Læsø.

Podnebje na Danskem je odlično za pridelavo sadja in jagodičja, več podjetij pa proizvaja odlične marmelade in sadne sokove. Den Gamle Fabrik (Stara tovarna) je daleč največji proizvajalec marmelade in je znan izvoznik. Njihove marmelade vsebujejo veliko sadja in so proizvedene brez vrenja, kar ohranja okus, hranilno vrednost in konsistenco bolje kot drugi izdelki. Samo pri tej družbi je na voljo zelo velika sorta, nekatere brez dodanega sladkorja. Poskusite solbær (Črni ribez), jordbær (jagoda), rabarber (rabarbara) oz hiben (šipka) na primer. Okus je bogat, kompleksen in prav izjemen. Pri sokovih se poskušajte izogibati običajnemu soku iz koncentratov in se odločite za dražje hladno stiskane nefiltrirane sokove. Danska ima veliko sort jabolk, nekatere starejše sorte so že vrsto let že skoraj pozabljene, vendar so zdaj nanje spet opozorjene splošne potrošnike. Ingrid Marie, Gråsten, Filippa in Ærøæble je le nekaj jabolk, ki zahtevajo slavo danskega izvora, od več kot 300. Dansk Landbrugsmuseum (Danski kmetijski muzej) na graščini Gammel Estrup med Aarhusom in Randersom na Jutlandu v svojih nasadih goji 281 danskih sort jabolk. Jabolka tukaj nabirajo vsako leto 4. oktobra in jih je mogoče kupiti in preizkusiti na kraju samem ali v Viborgu in Høje-Taastrupu zunaj Kopenhagna. Muzej na prostem v Ljubljani Frilandsmuseet v Lyngbyju, severnem okrožju Københavna, prav tako goji in ohranja številne stare danske sorte jabolk, sadja in jagodičja, ki so skoraj vse nepoznane industrijski proizvodnji. Danska je že več kot stoletje znana tudi kot izvoznica češnjevih alkoholnih pijač (blagovna znamka Heering je v tujini morda najbolj znana), toda v zadnjih nekaj desetletjih Posestvo Frederiksdal on Lolland je razvil vrhunska luksuzna češnjeva vina za mednarodno ocenjevanje in nagrajevanje.

Za majhno državo, kot je Danska, lahko preizkusite veliko regionalnih in lokalnih dobrot. Posebno jagnjetina na travnikih Območje močnega morja na jugozahodu školjke na Limfjord, svež ulov iz Severnega morja v severozahodna Jutlandija zlasti vročinski med v osrednjem in zahodna Jutlandija, langoustine na otoku Læsø, prekajene ribe in različne jedi iz sleda na otoku Bornholm, in drugi. Poleg lokalno vezanih pridelkov danske regije predstavljajo tudi nekatere posamezne kulinarične tradicije.

Torte

Izbor kremnih tort v a Konditori.

Odsek "Jej" ne bi bil popoln brez nekaj besed o "danskem" na Danskem. Ne, ne govorimo o ljudeh, ampak seveda o slastnem pecivu, znanem kot dansko, tako po vsem svetu znano po hrustljavo sladkem užitku. Na Danskem je danščina dejansko znana kot Wienerbrød (Kruh z Dunaja) iz zgodovinskih razlogov, toda če vprašate za "kos danskega", bi večina ljudi vseeno razumela, po čem hrepenite, zato se ne sramujte vprašati. Obstaja veliko vrst Wienerbrød na Danskem; dobro znano okroglo pecivo z zaledenitvijo je le ena izmed mnogih vrst in je takšne kakovosti, ki jo redko najdemo drugje. Vsi peki prodajajo nekakšno dansko pecivo, nekateri peki pa jih imajo zelo veliko. Obstajajo danska peciva s kremo, nekatera z marmelado iz suhih sliv ali malin, nekatera so dolga meter, prekrita z oreščki, rozinami in napolnjena z marcipanom, druga pa so velika kot veliki večerni krožniki, aromatizirani s kardamomom ali cimetom, namenjeni za delitev z dobrimi prijatelji in skodelico kave ali čaja.

Svet danske peke se še ne konča z danskim pecivom in številne pecivo tukaj je edinstveno za državo, na primer marcipan in čokoladni jagodni tartuti, ki se prodajajo v poletnih mesecih, ali dodelane in prefinjene kremne torte, ki jih postrežemo hladne. Številne večje pekarne imajo lastno kavarno, kjer lahko uživate v svoji torti, medtem ko sanjate o naslednji, vendar obstaja tudi dolga tradicija Konditorier, danski prevzame francosko slaščičarno. Te so očitno za napredne ljubitelje tort in jih najdemo v večini večjih mest. La Glace v Kopenhagnu je morda najbolj znana, od leta 1870 streže izvrstne torte.

Sladkarije

Veliko sladkarij je na voljo povsod na Danskem in vsa večja mesta imajo enega ali več slikbutik (slaščičarna). Danska je mednarodno znana po visokokakovostnem marcipanu in čokoladi, morda največji in najbolj znan izvoznik pa je podjetje Anton Berg.

A few select stores has specialized in chocolate and marzipan only and offers a huge variety of homemade treats; some flavoured with orange peel, some filled with brandy and others are mixed with nuts or Danish nougat. Flødeboller are a chocolate covered meringue specialty invented in Denmark in the 1800s, and are widely available. They are now enjoyed all over the world, but some candy stores in Denmark offers high quality homemade flødeboller of various kinds and they can be recommended.

Old-fashioned Bolsjer (drops).

Bolsjer (drops) is a common traditional candy in Denmark, cooked and enjoyed for centuries, and there are now a very large variety available. A few historical drop-boilers (Danish: Bolsjekogeri) still exists and can be experienced all across the country as living museums where you can watch or participate in the art of cooking drops. Historical drop-boilers in Copenhagen include Sømods Bolcher in the inner city and Tivoli also has a drop-boiler. You can buy drops of various kinds in nearly any store.

Liquorice is another type of candy that has a long history in Danish culture and is very popular. Formerly also used as medicine, liquorice candy is now available in many varieties, both mild and very strong, but liquorice with salt or salmiakki seems to be particularly favoured by the locals. It is perhaps an acquired taste, and many visitors are often amazed how anyone can find it enjoyable. Try a Super Piratos or some Salt-lakrids if you dare and make up your own mind. Liquorice ice cream is also common at ice cream stands and as industrial produced popsicles. Production of high quality liquorice has resurfaced in Denmark, in particular on the island of Bornholm, and has even found ways in to new experimental cooking.

Candy and sweets of more modern origin can be found in packets at almost any store, but if you want to have a glimpse of the variety and creativity of Danish candies, pay a visit to a candy store slikbutik. Here you can pick and mix a bag of candy just how you like it and some larger stores has more than a hundred different kinds, ranging from gummies, liquorice, chocolate, marshmallows, bolsjer to nougat, chewing gums, caramels and various confectionary treats.

Pijte

Many Danes are often perceived as being closed and tight lipped, bordering the outright rude. So while it is by no means impossible, you can be hard pressed to find a Dane readily engaging in casual conversations with strangers. That is, until you hit the country's bars and nightclubs.

The ubiquitous Carlsberg is a well-known Danish beer brand worldwide and can be had almost anywhere in Denmark, but more than a hundred Danish micro breweries also provides excellent quality beers across the country.

As any foreigner who has spent time observing the Danes will tell you, alcohol is the fabric that holds Danish society together. And when they are off their face in the dead of night, many suddenly let their guard down, loosen up, and while a bit pitiful, somehow transmorph into one of the most likeable bunch of people on Earth. Rather than the violence associated with binge drinking elsewhere, because it seems to serve a very important social purpose, the natives get very open, friendly and loving instead. It takes some time getting used to, but if you want to form bonds with the Danes, this is how you do it - God help you if you are abstinent. This also means Danes have a very high tolerance for drunk behaviour, provided it takes place in the weekends. Drink a glass or two of wine for dinner during the week, and you can be mistaken for an alcoholic, but down 20 pints on a Saturday night, and puke all over the place, and everything will be in order.

There is no legal drinking age in Denmark, although a legal purchase age of 16 is in effect in shops and supermarkets when under 16,5% alcohol, and 18 in bars, discos, restaurants and shops and supermarkets when over 16.5% alcohol. The enforcement of this limitation is somewhat lax in shops and supermarkets, but quite strict in bars and discos, as fines of up to 10,000 kr and annulment of the license can incur on the vendor. The purchaser is never punished, although some discos enforce a voluntary zero-tolerance policy on underage drinking, where you can get kicked out if caught with no ID and an alcoholic beverage in your hand. Some would claim that the famous Danish tolerance towards underage drinking is waning in light of health campaigns targeting the consumption of alcoholic beverages among Danes. As adult Danes do not approve of the government interfering with their own drinking habits, the blame is shifted towards adolescents instead, and proposals of increasing the legal purchase age to 18 overall have been drafted, but have yet to pass Parliament, neither is it likely to in the foreseeable future.

Drinking alcoholic beverages in public, is mostly considered socially acceptable in Denmark. Having a beer in a public square is a common warm weather activity, though local by-laws are increasingly curbing this liberty, as loitering alcoholics are regarded as bad for business. Drinking bans are usually signposted, but not universally obeyed nor enforced. In any case, be sure to moderate your public drinking, especially during the daytime. Extreme loudness may in the worst case land you a few hours in jail for public rowdiness (no record will be kept, though). Most police officers will instead ask you to leave and go home, though.

Danish beer is a treat for a beer enthusiast. The largest brewery, Carlsberg (which also owns the Tuborg brand), offers a few choices but is mostly limited to lager beer (pilsner), which are good, but not very diverse. A large number of micro breweries, however, offers a broad selection of beers well worth trying from IPA to porter, stout and weissbier and anything in-between. Special spicey "Christmas beers" are produced in the 6 weeks leading up to the holidays and strong "Easter brews" are on offer in the early spring. Other tasty beverages include the Aquavit (Snaps) and Gløgg - a hot and sweet wine drink popular in December.

Pivo

"Limfjords-porter", a strong Danish porter from the Limfjord območje.

"Ale No 16".

Local craft beers are commonly available across the country.

Beer is the best companion to the Danish cuisine and there are many high-quality breweries to sample. Most brews are available across the country, a few can only be enjoyed at microbreweries specifically. Carlsberg (and perhaps Tuborg) is well-known outside Denmark, but there are a plethora of smaller Danish breweries well worth trying, while in Denmark. A small selection includes:

• Thisted Bryghus, a brewery in Thisted, Severna Jutlandija founded in 1902. The production includes a range of organic beers.
• Fur brewery. Situated on the island of Krzno v Limfjord, North Jutland.
• Fuglsang, brewery based in Haderslev, Južna Jutlandija since 1865.
• Hancock, based in Skive, Severna Jutlandija since 1876.
• Bryggeriet Refsvindinge, a brewery on Funen blizu Nyborg, founded in 1885. The brewery has a bed & breakfast.
• Skovlyst. A brewery and restaurant in a forest just west of Copenhagen. Available in shops all over the country.
• Vesterbro Bryghus. Microbrewery and restaurant in the Copenhagen neighbourhood of Vesterbro.
• Mikeller. Relatively new high-end Copenhagen-based brewery with Mikeller bars in Copenhagen and Aarhus of uncompromising quality. Mikkeller has bars around the globe, from Taipei to San Francisco.
• Aarhus Bryghus. Micro-brewery in Aarhus with a large and changing selection. Usually large 0.6 litre bottles.

Specialties

"Gammel Dansk" (Old Danish), a commonly available Danish Aquavit.

The gastronomical underground scene is stirring and bubbling in Denmark and it also includes distilleries and breweries of all kinds. Small quality micro breweries and distilleries can be found throughout the country and comprise craft beers, whiskeys, aquavit, gin, wines and liqueurs. Almost all of them are relatively new, from the early 2000s, but several has already received enthusiastic appraisals by connoisseurs and won awards for their unique products. They aren't called micro breweries for nothing; the productions are usually rather limited, with beer taking the larger share generally, and the products can usually only be found at the breweries themselves, a few select bars and restaurants or in speciality shops in big cities. Historically, the excellent fruits and berries produced in the Danish climate has been used to make several fruit wines and liqueurs, in particular local varieties of cherries, apples and black currants. Modern distillers and entrepreneurs has been inspired by these traditional practices and use of local ingredients, enhancing and developing production methods to make exquisite luxury products.

Liqueurs

• Denmark has been a well-known exporter of cherry liqueur for more than a century, in particular to Sweden, the United Kingdom and Holland. The Heering brand from 1818 is perhaps the best known worldwide as it went famous in 1915 when bartender Ngiam Tong Boon in Raffles Hotel, Singapore used it to make the first Singapore Sling cocktail. Cherry Heering can still be had in Denmark and around the world, but newer small Danish winemakers has out-competed it, in terms of quality. To vključuje Nyholmgaard Vin na Funen, Cold Hand Brewery blizu Randers in East Jutland and RÖS cherry liqueur from Dyrehøj Vingaard near Kalundborg on Zelandije.
• Solbærrom (black currant rum) is another traditional Danish sweet fruit liqueur, even though it is based on imported rum from the Caribbean. It used to be much more popular in previous times, with several producers, but nowadays only Oskar Davidsen delivers with an unchanged recipe since 1888. The black currants gives this liqueur type a rich, sweet almost creamy fruit flavour, but also tannins and a certain character that the rum further enhances.
• Other Danish liqueurs are based on apples and new distilleries have launched prize winning strawberry and elderberry liqueurs as part of the gastronomical wave of New Nordic innovations.

Fruit wines

• Frederiksdal estate na Lolland has developed high-end luxury cherry wines in the last one or two decades, receiving several appraisals and prizes internationally. Frederiksdal wines are rich, complex and with several variations depending on the cherry type and production methods, but they are not sweet (or cheap) as the cherry liqueurs. You can buy Federiksdal cherry wines at specialty shops across the country, some restaurants serves them to be enjoyed alone or with desserts or why not visit the estate yourself, while you are in Denmark? Guided tours with tastings are arranged regularly.
• There is a long tradition of home productions of fruit wines based on apples and other local fruits and berries, but such wines are hardly available in the market.
• Mead is a honey-based wine that used to be much more prominent in Danish and Nordic culture and is in particular associated with the Vikings. This alcoholic beverage has also seen a cultural revival, but since the main ingredient is honey, it is a bit expensive and can mostly be found in specialty shops. Mead taste like nothing else and is worth a try.

Vina

Wine from grapes have been enjoyed in Denmark for millennia, but the climate has not allowed for grape growing here since the Bronze Ages, so wine was exclusively an imported luxury, until the late 20th century. With the current climate change, Denmark is becoming more suitable for domestic wine production. Varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Perhaps a local curiosity more than a treat for wine connoisseurs? Try for yourself and be your own judge.

• Dyrehøj Vingaard blizu Kalundborg on Zealand is the largest wine farm in Denmark and produces wine, brandy (edelbrand), gin, cider and liqueurs, including cherry and apple liqueurs. All their products are marketed under the brand RÖS, referring to the Røsnæs peninsula where the farm and winery is located.
• Skærsøgård severno od Kolding in Jutland was the first authorized winefarm in Denmark and produces all kinds of wine, including fruit wines, and liqueurs since 2001. You can visit the farm the first Wednesday (15:00-17:00) of the month.
• Nordlund (Dansk Vincenter). You don't have to leave the city to visit a Danish winefarm. Nordlund in Hvidovre, a suburb east of Copenhagen, welcomes visitors year round on Thursdays (13-17 hours). Winetastings and arrangements can be negotiated.

Žgane pijače

"Bjesk", an Aquavit specialty of North Jutland flavoured with a variety of local herbs.

• Aquavit, also known as snaps ali brændevin (burning-wine) in Danish, has been popular in Scandinavia for centuries and in Denmark it is still to be found anywhere you look. Made from potatoes and sometimes various grains, pure distilled aquavit is clear and without taste, but an endless variety of herbs are used as additions for flavour and colour. Caraway, dill and sweetgale are common herbal infusions but many locally tied variations exists and are worth trying. One or two shots of aquavit is to be enjoyed on festive occasions such as the traditional dinner-party arrangement of Det Kolde Bord (The Cold Table), comprising a selection of cold dishes, including smørrebrød. Aquavit is also used to mix some local drinks; added to a cup of coffee to make a kaffepunch or mixed with lemon soda to make a flyver (airplane) are well known drinks. At 45-50% alcohol, aquavit should be approached with caution and it is not an everyday beverage nowadays.
• Quality gin is increasingly popular and available. Njord is a micro distillery in central Jutland producing high quality gins.
• Whiskey has been enjoyed for many years in Denmark, but it used to be an imported luxury. In the 2000s, however, local distilleries have launched high-end whiskeys of various kinds. Braunstein v Køge south of Copenhagen has produced Danish whiskey since 2005. They also make aquavit and vodka and has a sizeable craft beer production that can be had across the country. Fary Lochan v Give, central Jutland, is one of the smallest distilleries in the world, but has a varied production nevertheless. The name is Scottish and is meant as a homage to the Scottish culture of whiskey making, as single malt whiskeys has the primary focus here. Various aquavit's flavoured with local ingredients are also produced, a specialty gin and some experimentation with wines as well. A much appraised specialty from Fary Lochan is their sweet and celebrated strawberry liqueur.

Za Proračun accommodation, Danhostel is the national accredited Hostelling International network, and operate 95 hotels throughout the country. Only the country's two largest cities - Copenhagen and Aarhus, have a few independent youth hostels. It is worth noting that the Danish word for hostel is Vandrehjem, which also what hostels in Denmark are usually signposted as. Another option is one of the Hospitality exchange networks, which is enjoying growing popularity among the Danes, with couchsurfing reporting a doubling of available hosts every year.

You can find a kro in almost any Danish town

Hoteli are expensive in Denmark, with an average price of a double room hovering around 847 kr in 2007, hotels are mostly off limits to shoestring travellers, although cheaper deals can most certainly be found, especially for online bookings done in good time before arriving. National budget hotel chains include Zleep in Cab-inn. Alternatives to hotels include a well developed network of Bed & Breakfasts which are bookable through the national tourism organization VisitDenmark (Click on Accommodation > Private accommodation) - or in country famous for its bacon, butter and cheese - what better way to dive into Danish culture than on a Farm Holiday? National organization maintains an online catalogue of farms offering stays all over the country in both English and German. Another alternative to hotels are the many historic Old inn's - or Kro in Danish - dotting the towns and villages, most of them are organized though a national organization called Danske Kroer og Hoteller.

Another overnight is in one of the more than 500 caravan sites (campingpladser in Danish). Most of them are well equipped with up-to-date facilities, and even Wi-Fi included in many cases and accepts both caravans, motor homes and tents and/or rent out cabins. Združenje Danish Camping Board maintains a list of 450 approved campsites on their website (danishcampsites.com) and Eurocampings has almost 350 on their site (eurocampings.co.uk). Prices varies greatly and can be anything between €40 and €200/night for a family with a caravan. You prefer to sleep in closer contact with nature? The article Primitive camping in Denmark provides additional information on sleeping in tents, bivouacs, shelters and similar.

To buy a vacation home (sommerhus, feriehus, hytte) in Denmark you need to live in the country for five years, or have a professional or family connection to the country.

Citizens of EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, San Marino, and Liechtenstein can work in Denmark without having to secure a work permit. Most non-EU citizens will need a work permit.

Pokliči 1-1-2 (Alarm 112) in an emergency for emergency services in case of accidents, serious crime and fire — situations that are dangerous for life, health, property or the environment. This is toll free, and will work even from cell phones without a SIM card. For the police in non-emergencies call 1-1-4 (Service 114).

Generally: Denmark is a very safe country, with almost no risk of natural disasters or animal attacks. There is one poisonous, but rare and non-aggressive, kača (the European viper or Hugormin Danish) in some heathlands, and a stinging, bottom dwelling fish called "Fjæsing", known as Greater Weever (Trachinus draco) in English. Its sting is painful, but not generally lethal. It is strong enough however to be lethal to children and the elderly, so medical treatment is always encouraged. Red stinging jellyfish sometimes infest bathing waters in great numbers. Their sting can be painful, but has no adverse effects on humans. They are dish-sized, easy to spot and avoid. As in the rest of Europe and the world at large, borrelia carrying ticks have also been on the rise in Denmark. Always check your body for attaching ticks, when you have been in the wild, especially when legs and arms are bare and the vegetation high. If they are removed quickly, no disease will be transmitted. If infection does occur, a red ring will occur around the bite, and you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

Since 1 August 2018 it has been prohibited by law to wear garments that hides the human face in public, unless there is a creditable purpose – officially called tildækningsforbud (coverban), also known as maskeringsforbud (maskingban) and burkaforbud (burqaban). A fine of 1,000 kr is given at the first violation, 2,000 kr for the second violation, 5,000 kr for the third violation and 10,000 kr for the fourth violation. The police has issued a set of guidelines that gives an assessment of what can be considered a creditable purpose. Wearing a burqa, niqab or balaclava in public is not considered a creditable purpose according to the guidelines.

Compared to most other countries, crime and traffic are only minor risks, and the most serious crime visitors are likely to encounter is non-violent pickpocketing.

• Peš: In cities Danes drive by the rules, and they have every expectation that pedestrians do the same. Therefore, it is important to obey Walk/Do not Walk signals and avoid jaywalking in cities, simply because cars will not slow down since you are not supposed to be there. Traffic signals are obeyed around the clock, so do not get surprised to see law-abiding Danes, in the dead of night with not a single vehicle or bicycle in sight, patiently waiting for green light. You are supposed to do the same. Also, take good notice of the dedicated bike lanes when crossing any street to avoid dangerous situations as bikers tend to ride fast and have right of way on these lanes.
• Na plaži: Do not bathe alone. Do not get too far away from land. Swim along the coast rather than away from it. In some areas undertow is a danger, and kills a number of tourists every year, but will mostly be signed at the beach. On many beaches, flags indicate water quality. A blue flag means excellent water quality, green flag means good water quality, red flag means that bathing is not advised. A sign with the text "Badning forbudt" means that bathing is forbidden. Obey these signs, as it often means that the water is polluted with poisonous algae, bacteria, or chemicals, or that there is a dangerous undertow. Beaches on small islands are often prone to tidal waters, especially in the Waddenovo morje.
• In the city: A few districts in major cities are probably best avoided at night by the unwary, or by lone women - but unlike in North America, it is often the suburban projects that are unsafe, not the downtown areas. Tourists will rarely pass through these outskirt areas by chance, but exchange students occasionally end up in apartments here without being aware of these districts reputation beforehand.

Health services in Denmark are of a high standard, although waiting times at emergency rooms can be quite long for non emergencies, since visitors are prioritized according to their situation. Except for surgical procedures there is no private healthcare system to speak of, all is taken care of by the public healthcare system and general practitioners. Vse visitors are provided with free emergency care, until you are deemed healthy enough to be transported back to your home country. Citizens from EU countries, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and certain British dependencies are all entitled to additional basic medical services during their stay, other nationalities should have a valid travel insurance for transportation home and any additional medical care needed after any emergency is dealt with, as this is not provided free of charge. As in the rest of the country, English speakers should not have any trouble communicating with staff in English.

Danish doctors do not hand out prescriptions or pills at the rate common in North America, Japan and Southern Europe. There is a general trend of letting the body's own immune system take care of diseases, rather than using medicines. So if you show up at the local GP with minor illnesses like the common flu, expect to be send back to your bed to rest, rather than receiving any treatment, if you are otherwise of good health. Pharmacies (Danish: Apotek) are usually well stocked, but brand names may differ from those in your own country. Staff is highly trained, and major cities usually have one 24 hour pharmacy. Many drugs that are prescription-free in other countries, require prescription in Denmark, which is not trivial to get (see above), and medicines available in supermarkets and drug stores are very limited; i.e., allergy drugs and light painkillers; Paracetamol based (Panodil, Pamol & Pinex), acetylsalicylic based (Treo, Kodimagnyl & Aspirin) and Ibuprofen based (Ipren)

Dentists are only partly covered by the public healthcare system, and everyone, including Danes pay to visit their dentist. Danes and other Nordic citizens have some of the expenses covered by the public healthcare system, while non Scandinavian visitors, should generally be prepared to foot the entire bill themselves, or forward the expenses to their insurance company. Prices are notoriously high compared to the neighbouring countries, so unless it is urgent to see a dentist, it will probably be more economical to wait until you return home, or pass into Germany or Sweden.

Tap water is potable unless indicated, which is very rare indeed. The regulations for tap water in Denmark even exceeds that of bottled water in general, so do not be offended if you notice a waiter filling a pitcher of water at the sink, its perfect for drinking. However, most places charges a fee for the service.

Restaurants and other places selling hrano are checked regularly by health inspectors and awarded points on a 1-4 "smiley scale". The ratings must be prominently displayed, so look out for the happy face when in doubt. Every cook or employee handling prepared food are required to hold a hygiene certificate and food poisoning is not a problem to be concerned with.

Nearly all plaže are fine for bathing on sunny days - even parts of the Copenhagen harbour have been opened for bathing (read the Stay safe section). At quite a few beaches though, rainwater run-off from residential areas pours directly and untreated into the sea and flooding sewers are an increasing issue after heavy rain. During this time, bathing is not recommended at these places. Several municipalities issue bathing water quality data continuously on-line, so check up if you are going to bath after heavy rains. Winter bathing in the sea has become quite popular, but be careful, it requires a steady dedication for months to train your body for this endeavour. Jumping straight into ice-cold sea water without any preparation might make you sick.

Smoking

Since 2007 it has been illegal to smoke in any indoor public space in Denmark. This includes government buildings with public access (hospitals, universities, etc.), all restaurants and bars larger than 40m² and all public transport. It is also prohibited to smoke on any train and bus platform outdoors.

You have to be at least 18 years old to buy tobacco products in Denmark.

Spoštovanje

In a country which has no direct equivalent to please in its vernacular, where the local version of Mr. in Gospa. has all but disappeared from common usage, and where the people can hardly muster a sorry if they bump into you on the streets, you could be forgiven to think they are the rudest people on earth, and you can get away with pretty much anything. You'd be wrong. Most of the behaviour many tourists consider appalling can be attributed to either the Danes' blatant - and when you get to understand it, quite sympathetic - disregard for formality, or their unfortunate sramežljivost (glej pijačo section), and there are rules to the madness, way too complex to get into here, but some of the most important ones can be summed up as follows:

Though officially Lutheran, Denmark is largely agnostic. Pictured: Østerlars Church, Bornholm

• It is generally not considered impolite to omit verbal formalities common in other cultures, such as generic compliments or courteous bromides. Likewise, Danes almost never use Gospod ali Gospa to address each other, as it is perceived as distancing oneself. On the contrary, addressing (even a stranger) by first name is considered a friendly gesture. The only exception to this is when addressing Danish royalty – Queen Margrethe, her sons and their wives.
• Staff, waiters and every other employee is empowered in Denmark, so do not expect anybody to dance to your tune, even in expensive restaurants. Politeness goes both ways and acting like you have special privileges will be frowned upon. Rude or lacking service for no reason does happen occasionally and should not be tolerated, but handle the situation with a bit of diplomacy and treat your fellow man like an equal, or you will get nowhere.
• Be punctual, few things can make the Danes more annoyed than showing up later, even by minutes, than the agreed time, save social gatherings at people's homes, where the requirement for punctuality is more relaxed.
• If there are free seats on a bus or train, it's not customary to seat yourself next to strangers if you can avoid it. It is also a nice gesture to offer your seat for the elderly and the disabled. In many buses, the front seats are usually reserved for them.
• Be aware that there are marked "quiet zones" on each train: one in the back of the back wagon and one in the front of the front wagon. Don't talk on the phone there. In fact, do not talk at all. These are for people who want a quiet trip, usually people who need to go far, and may want to sleep, read, or work on their laptop or other things in peace.
• Danes try to abridge differences between social classes. Modesty is a virtue - bragging, or showing off wealth, is considered rude, as is loud and passionate behaviour. Economic matters are private - don't ask Danes questions like how much they earn or what their car costs. As in Germany, Britain, and the rest of the Nordic countries, weather is a safe conversation topic.
• Greetings between people who know each other (e.g. are good friends, close relatives, etc.) are often in the form of a careful hug. It is rare to see a peck on the cheek as a form of greeting, and it might be taken as way too personal. A handshake is customary for everyone else, including people you aren't close to and people you are being introduced to.
• When invited by a Dane - to visit their home, join them at their table or engage in an activity - do not hesitate to accept the invitation. Danes generally do not invite out of politeness, they only say it if they mean it. The same goes for compliments. Bring a small gift; chocolate, flowers or wine are the most common, and remember despite their disregard for formality, to practice good table manners while at restaurants or in people's homes.
• Even though 82% of the population is officially Lutheran, Denmark is by and large a non-religious country. Investigations into people's faith are largely unwelcome, and outside places of worship, displays of your faith should be kept private. Saying grace for example, is likely to be met with bewilderment and silence. Religious attire such as Muslim headscarves, kippahs or even T-shirts with religious slogans, will - while tolerated - also make many Danes feel uncomfortable.
• In Denmark, družina nearly without exception takes priority over work. So do not be surprised if Danes excuse themselves from even the most important of meetings by four o'clock to pick up kids, a burden equally shared between the sexes.
• Possession of any amount of cannabis ali drugo drugs is a crime. While Denmark does have a narcotic subculture in places such as the Christiania district, many Danish people shun narcotics.

Internet

Medtem Internet cafés are present in most larger cities, they are usually not geared for tourists and hence they can be a bit tricky to find. Hoteli usually provide both wireless internet and computers with internet access, but whether this service is provided for free, varies greatly. Veliko cafés and bars also provide free wireless internet for paying customers, even when it is not signposted, so it is always a good idea to ask. A lot of the McDonalds restaurants in Denmark have a couple of internet terminals available for their customers. The easiest way to get online is often the public library, as there is one in almost every town. Public libraries are usually centrally located, well signposted (look for Bibliotek) and always free. There can be a bit of waiting time to get a free computer though, but there will normally also be some sort of reservation system in place.

If staying for more than a few weeks, it might be worthwhile to get a mobile broadband connection. Most of the country has excellent coverage and speeds rivalling those of a fixed connection in the major cities and plenty for surfing the web, even in many of the more remote areas. Unfortunately the Danish ISPs generally do not have up to date English versions of their websites, so getting information about coverage and store location can be tricky. To buy a subscription package it is usually needed to have a residence permit, a Danish citizen id number (CPR-nummer ali person-nummer) and a local address. This means, that in practice, subscription packages are only relevant to travellers staying for more than half a year in Denmark.

It is instead possible to buy a prepaid package with the following available offers:

• TDC offers a prepaid package known as Mobilt Bredbånd Tank op

• Starter package valid for 7 days for 129 kr for SIM card, or 399 kr for SIM card and modem
• 1/3/7/30 day refill for 29/69/129/299 kr
• The traffic limit is 10GB per month. The maximum bandwidth is 6Mbit/s downstream

• Telia offers the following packages known as Telia Talk Data

• Starter package for 29 kr (only SIM card, no modem)
• 1GB/3GB top-up valid for use within one week for 49/99 kr (only SIM card, no modem)
• 10GB top up valid for use within three months for 299 kr (only SIM card, no modem)

• Oister offers the following packages known as Tank Selv

• Starter package valid for 7 days for 99 kr (SIM card), or 30 days for 499 kr (SIM card and modem)
• 1/7/30 day refill for 29/79/199 kr

The Telia and TDC packages can be bought in their stores located in the largest towns. Owners of modems, phones or tablets that support UMTS/HSPA /LTE will most likely be able to use them, but otherwise a modem can be bought for about 400 kr. The Oister packages are available at many electronics stores and at any postal office.

When travelling in both Denmark and Sweden it may be beneficial to get a prepaid package from the provider 3. 3 is present in Denmark and Sweden, but don't sell any prepaid products from their Danish stores. On the other hand, their stores in Sweden sells a prepaid package that works in both Sweden and Denmark with no added roaming charges. It might be possible to refill this product over the internet connection from Denmark with an international credit card, but the safest solution might be to stock up on refill vouchers before leaving Sweden for Denmark, since vouchers are not sold in Denmark.

The package from 3 in Sweden is known as 3Bredband kontant:

• Starter package valid for 7 days for 199 Swedish kroner (Both SIM card and modem)
• 1 day refill for 29 Swedish kroner with a traffic limit of 0.5GB after which bandwidth is reduced
• 7 day refill for 99 Swedish kroner with a traffic limit of 5GB after which bandwidth is reduced
• 30 day refill for 299 Swedish kroner with a traffic limit of 20GB after which bandwidth is reduced
• The maximum speeds are 16Mbit/s downstream and 4.6Mbit/s upstream

For an easier overview of all the different providers and plans in Denmark, many price-comparison websites has arisen, example below:

• Abonnementpriser.dk - collects prices from many types of subscriptions, including TV, mobile broadband and more.

Phone

Bring your own unlocked GSM phone to make calls. Prepaid SIM cards are available at most shops and international calling can be reasonably priced. Any prepaid credit is generally only valid for calls made in Denmark, but can be purchased in small amounts to avoid waste when you leave.

International collect calls are not allowed from phone booths, which are all ran by the TDC company. You should be able to make international call with the prepaid SIM cards anyways.

Denmark's international phone country code is 45. The prefix for international dialling is "00" or ' ' (on a mobile phone).

Mailbox in Denmark

Mail

The postal service in Denmark is run by PostNord. Digital postal stamps are available: you pay for the postage on the PostNord website, then write the provided 12-digit code on the envelope, instead of using a physical stamp. Postal franchises (posthus) sells postage stamps and can be found in many supermarkets and grocery stores all over the country. Business drop-in's (erhversindlevering) does not sell postage stamps. Post boxes are red with the postal logo, and most of them are emptied once every workday. It is not indicated exactly at what time during the day the mailboxes are emptied. An unregistered priority (airmail) postcard or letter with a weight of less than 100 grams is 33 kr (approximately €4.40) for all international destinations (as of 1 January 2021).

If you need to have parcels or mail sent to you in Denmark, you can receive it as Poste Restante at most major post offices (General Delivery in the US). The post office will only hold such mail for two weeks, after which it will be returned to the sender. The address format is:

<Name>

c/o Poste restante

<Name of post office>

<Postal-Code> <City>

DENMARK

When picking up the mail, you will need to identify yourself with a government-issued photo-ID (i.e. passport or driver's license). Make sure that your name is spelled in the same way on the package and on the ID.

Major international parcel services like UPS, Fedex and DHL while present in Denmark, do not offer any holding service. GLS have an agreement with a number of retailers, which offers a holding service for a limited time (pakke shop)

Consular assistance

Nearly all developed nations have embassies in Copenhagen, and most other countries have embassies in either Stockholm or Copenhagen responsible for consular services to the whole Skandinavski regiji. EU member nations often maintain consulates in the provinces. There are 71 foreign embassies in Copenhagen and more than 100 consulates in Copenhagen and larger cities, such as Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Vejle. If you fall victim to serious criminal injuries while in Denmark, you might be eligible to financial compensation. If you wish to file a claim you must report the incident to police within 24 hours, and file a form obtainable from the police to Erstatningsnævnet; Gyldenløvesgade 11, 1600 Copenhagen V. Tel 45 33 92 33 34, Fax: 45 39 20 45 05, Email: [email protected]. Claim processing time is a minimum of 3 months.

Storitev za stranke

By most standards, the Danes have a great deal to learn about customer service, and many visitors may initially be appalled by the low standards present outside upmarket establishments, used to dealing with international expectations. Cleaning tables and removing trash from messy customers has a low priority and it is not uncommon to experience staff doing other duties than serving, while happily keeping customers waiting. Also do not expect any sirs or madams; verbal bromides seem awkward to most Danes, including those behind a counter. On a practical level, the service situation means that you should only expect table service in restaurants. In most cafés and bars you usually order at the desk and pay immediately when ordering, even if you intend for a second order. Luckily, Danes have a civilised queue culture generally and waiting for your turn at the desk without loosing your temper or trying to cheat on other customers is standard practise, and you are expected to behave likewise.

As with most cultural issues, there are several reasons for this situation. Some attribute it to the egalitarian Danish culture along the line: "you are not worth any more than me, so why should I treat you any different", while a major reason might be ascribed to the fact that most service personnel in Denmark are untrained people, often underaged or part time students, working for a low salary, so they have no clue how to service customers beyond the rudimentary. Another aspect stems from Danish culture in general, which seems to cherish and promote direct interpersonal contact and request and a low-key service attention. Allowing other people space to move and breathe is considered part of proper hospitality and politeness.

Danes themselves seems to have coped with the service situation and do not expect much outside high-end places. By and large, it is just one of those issues you will have to deal with while visiting, and throwing a hissy fit or demanding to speak to the supervisor is unlikely to get you anywhere. On the upside, tipping is neither expected nor required, and that goes for professional and trained attendants as well. When you naredi bump into good service, it tends to be truly genuine helpfulness, rather than an expectation for tips or employee training courses - so savour such moments, tip if you feel for it, and forget about the rest.

Mediji

Apart from children's shows, nothing gets dubbed in Denmark - although a sizeable portion of broadcasts in Denmark are American and British productions - so even with no English channels, there will usually be something on in a comprehensible language. Enako velja za kinematografe - tako da bi morali biti varni za lenoben deževen dan. Skoraj vsi hoteli bodo imeli na voljo CNN ali BBC World News.

Če želite biti na tekočem z lokalnimi novicami, Copenhagen Post je edini danski časopis v angleškem jeziku. Izhaja tedensko in je na voljo v številnih barih in kavarnah v Københavnu, v preostali državi pa ga je veliko težje najti.

V spletu lahko spremljate danske novice v angleščini na:

• Lokalni
• The Copenhagen Post (nevtralno)
• Politiken (centrist)
• Jyllands Posten (prav)
• DR (javna radiotelevizija)
• TV2 (zasebna izdajateljica)

Severni Atlantik

Danska je iz zgodovinskih razlogov osrednje središče za dostop do resnično fascinantne severnoatlantske regije, z neposrednimi leti v več mest na Islandija, Ferski otoki in Grenlandija.Regija je še posebej znana po svojih edinstvenih naravnih krajinah, pa tudi po močni nacionalni in kulturni dediščini, ki je še vedno živa in zaščitena.Hanstholm na severozahodu Jutlandija ima tedenske trajektne storitve do Toršavn na Ferskih otokih in Seyðisfjörður na Islandija. Longyearbyen na Svalbard je mogoče doseči iz več mest, enkrat ali dvakrat na teden z enim postankom v Oslo.

Švedska

Podobno v kulturi in izmenjavi velikih delov zgodovine, Švedska je v bližini ne samo geografsko. Zlasti do južnega dela je enostavno doseči Kopenhagen preko premoščenega Öresunda in je odličen kraj za doživetje podobnih zgodovinskih in naravnih znamenitosti Malmö in Lund. Skanijske dežele južne Švedske so bile del Danske do leta 1658 ob koncu Severne vojne in predstavljajo številne izjemne primere danske renesančne arhitekture od velikih graščin do romantičnih mestnih pokrajin. Preostali del Švedske te dele pogosto še vedno šteje za tesno povezane z Dansko zaradi določenega narečja švedščine, ki se tukaj govori, in je nekoliko povezano z danskim načinom izgovorjave. Južni predeli so še posebej znani po vikinških znamenitostih in romantičnem podeželskem okolju. Če nadaljujete severno v tej ogromni državi, je Švedska kraj za uživanje v naravi in ​​je dosegljiv z več krajev. Iz Kopenhagna obstajajo direktni leti do prestolnice Ljubljane Stockholmu in zahodne Švedske je iz Jutlandije mogoče priti s trajektom skozi Frederikshavn-Göteborg ali Grenaa-Varberg povezave.

Norveška

Norveška, ki slovi po gorsko obkroženih fjordih in vsesplošni naravni pokrajini, je odlična destinacija, ki je zlahka dostopna z Danske. Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Stavanger in morda še več, vendar je celotna Norveška dosegljiva s prestopom Frederikshavn in Hirtshals na severnem Jutlandu je s trajekti mogoče priti do več destinacij: Oslo, Larvik, Kristiansand. Do mesta je tudi trajektna povezava Kopenhagen do Oslo

Nemčija

Nemčija je edina država, s katero ima Danska kopensko mejo, za hitrejši dostop z vzhoda pa so pogoste trajektne povezave do južne sosede Danske. Dve največji nemški mesti, Berlin in Hamburg le nekaj ur vožnje z avtomobilom ali vlakom iz večine Danske, pa tudi nemški otoki na Severnem in Baltskem morju, Lübeck in drugi Hanzeatika mest in celo vrsto zgodovinskih znamenitosti iz različnih obdobij.
