Denmark

The Kingdom of Denmark is the smallest of the Scandinavian nations. Located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, Denmark is separated from Norway by the Skagerrak and from Sweden by the Kattegat. In the south, it shares a 68-km (43-mi) border with Germany. The Faeroe Islands and Greenland have been part of Denmark since the 14th century and are now self-governing units within the nation. Since the 9th century Denmark ruled over much of Scandinavia, which developed a common Nordic culture. More recently, because of Denmark's proximity to Germany, Denmark has also been influenced by German culture. The articles included herein provide Denmark travel and tourism information and guide on vacation spots and destinations in Denmark.
