Welcome to Denmark! We've put heart and soul, hygge and a little of the wonderful Danish everyday into this website, so you can see for yourself how we Danes do life and holidays. Because we are some of the happiest people in the world (in case you didn't know). And we want you to be happy too. Especially in times like these.

Small is beautiful, especially when it comes to our Danish cities. And because our four biggest ones are cosy and easy to explore, they're great places to get up close to Danes in their natural habitats!

Viking legacy and vibrant modern living meet in one of The New York Times' top places to visit.
