Facts about Denmark

Denmark is a small, beautiful, highly egalitarian country in northern Europe with its capital in Copenhagen. The country is known for its world class infrastructural planning, principles of equality, and welfarism. It is a Scandinavian country.

The country has a temperate climate with cold, windy winters and short, cool summers. The summer lasts from March to May and spring kicks in from June through to August. It is best to visit Denmark in the summer (most big festivals and events hold then because of the fairer weather) or in the spring. Winter does have appeals such as skiing though for those able to brace against the cold.

Denmark is a homogeneous country whose natives are the Danes. Apart from the Danish, several other ethnicities (minorities) call Denmark home. These are the Germans, Chinese people, Turks, and Jews amongst others. The three major themes of Danish culture are simplicity, politeness, and equality. A major aspect of Danish culture is "Hygge" which translates into people taking time off from all the rush and bustle of day to day life to indulge in small pleasures with friends and loved ones.

Danes are well known for their love for seafood, but this is not all that meets the eye with Danish cuisine. The Danish national food is fried pork with parsley sauce and potatoes. Other favoured meals are frikadeller (meatballs), polser (hot long sausages), and hakkebof (chopped meat patties). Denmark is 75% christian but accepts and grants equal rights to all other religions.

Denmark is a beautiful country with an excellent tourism infrastructure. It is no wonder there are so many exciting places to visit in the country. A few of them are:

National Aquarium, Denmark: This is also known as Den Bla Planet (The Blue Planet). This aquarium was constructed so that visitors have the experience of being under water. The aquarium offers an up close, personal experience and viewing of the sea animals.

Kronborg Castle: This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and amazingly, the setting of Shakespeare's "Hamlet"! The architecture is splendid and literature fans would definitely enjoy this historical site.

Roskilde Cathedral: This church houses the highest number of graves of kings and queens in history and in the world. It is a site of utmost historical significance.

Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde: Vikingskibsmuseet as it is called in Danish is a museum preserving Scandinavian history by unearthing, preserving, and even rebuilding old Viking ships. It is a great place to learn how the famous Viking ships of old were built.

There are several fascinating facts about this small but mighty country. For one, Denmark has been ranked the happiest country in the world two times in a row in UN global surveys despite the fact that it has one of the highest task rates in the world. Also, the term " Bluetooth" was derived from Harold Bluetooth, the Viking king who introduced Christianity to Denmark over a thousand years ago. Again, the two oldest amusement parks in the world are in Denmark.

Drug use is illegal in Denmark. Anyone found in the possession of illegal drugs will receive a fine and a heavy prison sentence.
