Get to know Denmark through Copenhagen, Danish and the krone
Copenhagen, Danish and the Danish krone are three useful starting points when getting to know Denmark before planning a trip.
A country in Northern Europe
Denmark is part of Europe and, more specifically, Northern Europe. It is not landlocked: it has access to the sea. These details help you locate the country, but they are not enough on their own to decide on an itinerary or a mode of transport.
Copenhagen, the country’s capital
Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital. It is a useful starting point for getting your bearings, although the information available here is not enough to recommend neighbourhoods, attractions or current connections. Check transport and services directly with their operators before travelling.
Danish and the Danish krone
The language listed for the country is Danish. Its currency is the Danish krone, with the code DKK and the symbol kr. Use it as a reference when budgeting, and check current payment options and exchange rates before you leave; these basic details do not provide price information.
What to check
This guide does not include schedules, flights, fares or entry requirements. Check these details with official sources and relevant providers before finalising your plans, as they may change and are not established by these general references.
Research references
The information is limited to the country’s identity, geography, capital, language and currency; it is not up-to-date operational guidance.
