In-Depth Information
Transport
Getting to Denmark is simple. The capital, Copenhagen, has worldwide air links, and some
carriers fly into regional airports around the small nation. Train, road and bridge links exist
to Germany and Sweden, and there are ferry connections to/from several countries.
Once you get to Denmark, transport stays hassle-free. Most journeys by train, car or bus
are so short you can reach regional destinations before your next meal.
Flights, tours and rail tickets can be booked online at

GETTING THERE & AWAY
Entering the Country
Denmark is part of the Schengen agreement, which eliminated border passport control
between Schengen countries in Europe. This means you no longer need to stop or show
your passport when travelling between Denmark and Germany or Denmark and Sweden.
You must still have your passport with you, however, when travelling in Schengen coun-
tries, as a form of identification.
There is passport control when entering Denmark from a country outside the Schengen
area and some nationalities need a visa to enter Denmark.
If you're arriving by ferry, particularly from a neighbouring country, passports are not usu-
ally checked.
Passport
For entry into the Schengen area, you must have a passport valid for three months bey-
ond your proposed departure date.
