Denmark Travel

Due to its close geographic proximity, Denmark also shares a very close cultural and historical relationship with Sweden and Norway as well as with the other Nordic countries; Finland, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. As a matter of fact, Scandinavia is often used interchangeably for the Nordic countries among speakers of the English language.

Denmark is the smallest and most southern nation among the Nordic countries and is nestled between the Baltic Sea off its east coast and the North Sea off its west coast. Sweden is northeast of Denmark , Norway is north, while Germany is at its southern border. The entire Kingdom of Denmark consists of a large peninsula called Jutland and hundreds of islands. The overall number of islands whose area is one hundred square meters or greater totals 1,419 and they are usually referred to as the Danish Archipelago. 443 islands of the Danish Archipelago have been named but only seventy six are currently inhabited. The largest and most significant of the Danish islands are Zealand, Funen, Vendsyssel-Thy, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm.
