- Denmark ↗Denmark is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; Greenland and the Faroe Islands have separate entry arrangements.
- Denmark ↗Bike lanes are busy fast lanes: do not walk or stand in them, and signal before you stop if you cycle.
- Denmark ↗Denmark is close to cashless: cards and phone payments work almost everywhere, even for small amounts.
Zealand is Copenhagen and a ring of short train trips. The city holds a first visit on its own; the castles and the Viking ships are half-day trips, and Malmö is across the bridge. Keep the Copenhagen bed, travel light for the day, and come back to the same bed.
