Denmark is a country formed by a large peninsula, Jutland and hundreds of islands. This country in Northern Europe, is the smallest and southernmost of the Scandinavian countries; southwest of Sweden and south of Norway, and is delimited to the south by Germany. Denmark borders both the Baltic and the North Sea.
Danish is the national language, and is similar to Swedish and Norwegian, with which they have many cultural and historical ties.
The thousands kilometres long coastline is extremely varied. There we can find beaches, small and big bays, beautiful fjords and wind platforms.
Copenhagen is appealing with its historical attractions, high churches and skyscrapers, port, coastline, and huge pedestrian malls. The green parks and gardens are an evidence of the kind nature.
