This is Denmark, a dreamy fairy tale kingdom. We like the romance and stories here, and the leisure and optimism of the people here, which also makes many tourists from all over the world come here to play and see the charm of the fairy tale kingdom.
Then, Bian Xiao will share with you some useful strategies for playing in Denmark!
Landscape introduction
Andersen's fairy tales make Denmark closely connected with the world, and are famous in every corner of the world together with a long and glorious history and ancient and luxurious buildings.
Almost everyone's childhood is accompanied by the nocturne of "mermaid princess" and the dream of "little girl selling matches" in the fire. Today, the bronze statue of the mermaid in Copenhagen has become a symbol of Denmark.

At the same time, Denmark has splendid castles, poetic pastoral customs and magnificent glaciers in Greenland.
Its main tourist attractions are Copenhagen, Andersen's hometown-odense, Lego Block City, the west coast of jutland and the northernmost Skayan. Therefore, if you travel to Denmark, you must see the three statues of Mermaid, Andersen and Shenniu Fountain in the capital Copenhagen.
The famous Lego Park is located in northern Denmark, covering an area of 25 hectares. This is a "lilliputian country" built with 32 million building blocks. Its novel and unique building block art attracts tourists from all over the world and becomes the second tourist attraction in Denmark after Copenhagen.
life
If you go back and forth in these scenic spots, you will find that Danes especially like bicycles. This country with a population of just over 5 million has 4.2 million bicycles, which is a "miracle".
The main reason is that Danes live a comfortable and quiet life, and cycling has become a fashion for their leisure and fitness. Because cycling is an activity that integrates entertainment, fitness and life.
Its influence on internal organs is no less than that of long-distance running and swimming, especially riding a bicycle for an outing, and the beautiful scenery along the way is unobstructed, which is a kind of beautiful enjoyment.
climate
Denmark has a mild and pleasant climate and can travel all year round. But usually, the tourist peak season of a year begins in April and lasts until around 10, and the peak season is from June to August.
Because art galleries and scenic spots closed late during this period, there were many free outdoor concerts and performances. Moreover, the weather is fine and the temperature is suitable. The highest temperature is 265438 0℃, with an average of 65438 05℃-65438 07℃. Visitors who want to see the show must not miss it.
Of course, the prices of hotels and restaurants will be higher in the tourist season. In fact, it won't be very cold in winter here, and the temperature is generally not lower than 0℃. You can also choose to travel in off-season.
Dressing skills
It belongs to a typical temperate maritime climate, with warm winter and cool summer. Warm coats and clothes are needed in late autumn, winter and early spring. You can wear light clothes the rest of the time. Better take rain gear.
Visa and transit
You can apply for a "Schengen visa" for a maximum stay of 90 days. The Danish Embassy also accepts visa applications from Iceland.
Visa fees for Danish embassies range from 175 to 600 Danish kroner. According to the number of people entering the country and the length of stay, the visa will be paid in RMB at the exchange rate on the day when the application is submitted. For those who do not meet the Schengen visa requirements, only Danish entry visas will be issued.
According to Schengen regulations, if you plan to travel in several countries in the Schengen area, you must apply for a visa in its main destination country; However, if you stay in several Schengen countries for the same time, you must apply to the China institution of the first country of entry.
Delegations coming to Denmark for short-term business visits or transit should bring an invitation letter from Denmark or a third country when entering the country; China citizens who have obtained the right of abode in Schengen countries (except permanent residency) should not book round-trip air tickets in China and come directly to Denmark, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Traffic guide
Ships are the means of transportation to the main islands of Denmark and the smaller islands where most people live.
Buses are the main means of transportation connecting towns, and there are several bus routes leading to aalborg or Aarhus.
It is a good choice to travel around Denmark by bike. Bike lanes extending in all directions connect towns and villages all over the country. Rent a bicycle for about 35-60 kronor a day.

Due to the high per capita income in Denmark, the prices of medical services and medicines are relatively high, which can reach several times of the domestic level or more than 10 times. Passengers coming to Denmark are advised to apply for international travel medical insurance.
6. Safety: The number of theft cases targeting foreign tourists in airports, railway stations, tourist attractions, restaurants and shopping centers in Denmark has increased significantly. So far, no cases specifically targeting China people have been found.
However, Chinese tourists often carry a lot of cash with them, and their awareness of anti-theft is not strong, which has become the main target of theft gangs. Please take care of your luggage at all times (especially when making phone calls and buying tickets).
Be wary of accosting or "enthusiastic assistance" from some strangers, and try to reduce the cash you carry with you. In case of robbery, please report to the nearest Dan police station in time.
7. Taboo: Danes like to use flowers as gifts to show their gratitude. Send white flowers for weddings and funerals, and avoid sending white flowers at other times. In some parts of Denmark, people think it is lucky to give their fiancee a mallet engraved with love poems, because mallets can bring good luck and happiness.
The Danes planned the wedding for several days, but it was held in secret, because public planning would offend ghosts or make them jealous.
