The map of Denmark offers an overview of

some of the cities in the country.

Did you know that Denmark has the second

oldest monarchy in the World. That Denmark

is a small country with a population of only

5.5 million people yet has one of the largest

coast lines in Europe.

Geographically, Denmark is relatively flat

with no big mountains to climb, its highest

point being no more than 173 m above sea

level.

One of the many great things about living in

Denmark is wherever you are; you are never

far from the sea, for a refreshing swim in the

summer months or a bracing walk on the

beach in the winter months.

GOVERNMENT & POLITICSThe political system of Denmark

is that of a multi-party structure,

where several parties can be

represented in Parliament at any

one time. Danish governments

are often characterised by

minority administrations, aided

with the help of one or more

supporting parties. This means

that Danish politics is based on

consensus politics. Since 1909,

no single party has had the

majority in Parliament.

HISTORY

The word ‘Denmark’ dates back to the Viking age and is carved on

the famous Jelling Stone from around 900 AD. Today though

Denmark is very different from its historical past. Between the 13th

and 17th centuries, Denmark was a superpower whose influence

was as powerful as that of the largest European countries. Today,

the current size and influence of Denmark is the result of 400 years

of forced relinquishments of land, surrenders and lost battles. For

a small country though, Denmark still punches above its weight in

many different areas including design, architecture, farming, green

technology and pharmaceuticals.

VISIT DENMARK

If you are thinking about going to Denmark go straight to the web site

www.visitdenmark.com

Visitdenmark.com is Denmark's huge official web site for tourists and visitors. There you

can find all kinds of detailed, personal and inspiring information about most aspects of

Denmark whether the purpose of your stay is a holiday, a business trip, a

meeting/conference or perhaps all three combined.

The Danes are generally well educated, well informed, yet at the same time enjoy a

distinctly Danish lack of formality. This gives the Danes a relaxed and often humorous

attitude to authorities and life itself.

In Denmark you will find that the distances are short – and this makes it possible to

combine all the atmosphere of buzzing city life with the relaxation of the beautiful

Danish countryside.

Clean beaches and green forests are rarely more than a half hour’s drive away. And your

children can roam freely and safely, while you explore all the many cultural and artistic

offerings in store.

It’s Denmark
