When talking about Denmark, our minds immediately think of ‘Vikings’ - the show and the history. Like the Denmarks claimed, "Once we were brutal Vikings. Now we are one of the world's most peaceful societies and well-known for equality, sustainability, and hygge.”

Looking back into the history of Denmark, the country has been around since 10,000 BC, which is during the last Ice Age.

Denmark is located on the southernmost and is the smallest country overall.

It is also the 22^nd smallest country in the whole of Europe. The size of Denmark is 42,947 km2. One peninsular and over 400 islands make up Denmark. However, 74 of these islands are inhabited.

What's the weather like in Denmark?

Looking back at history, it is no wonder that the Vikings are excellent sailors because there is no point in Denmark that is more than 50 kilometers from the sea. This makes the country a seafaring nation.

Below are some of the primary travel requirements for travellers to Denmark.

You can find more information on it and general travel requirements to Denmark from our official Traveloka COVID-19 Requirements and Information page.

Believe it or not, there are direct flights from Singapore to Denmark, but it is also possible for visitors to fly to other European countries as a transit destination before heading to Denmark.

Alternatively, if you are in one of the European countries, you can take a train to Denmark. Eurorail has Eurorail Denmark Pass where you may use to explore Denmark cities such as Copenhagen, Arhus, Odense, and Aalborg.

Some cruises can take you to Denmark from Russia and other Scandinavian countries such as Norway and Sweden. The cruises here are also quite famous and are award-winning.

Short answer, yes and no.

Singaporeans can visit Denmark for up to 90 days without a visa if they do not apply for any employment while they are there. This is within 180 days from the initial entry date, applicable for the Schengen area.

NOTE:

However, they will be required to have a passport with a validity of three months beyond the departure date.

Other than that, visitors from Singapore can travel freely in Denmark and also to countries within the Schengen area.

Direct flights average around 11 to 12 hours. Currently, there are a few airlines that fly directly to Denmark from Singapore.

Those airlines are Air New Zealand, Scandinavian Airlines, Croatia Airlines, and also Singapore Airlines.

The cheapest airline fare is around SGD 800 and varies according to season and location.

Otherwise, travellers will need to take connecting flights.

Some of the airlines that operate as such are Turkish Airlines, Scoot + Norwegian, Finnair, Qatar Airways, and Emirates. These airlines will require transit in their respective countries most of the time.

Therefore, the time taken to reach Denmark will be slightly longer. The prices, on the other hand, may vary around SGD 800 and up to SGD 2,000.

Disney lovers would definitely love this place in Denmark. Located in Copenhagen, there is a theme park that Disneyland inspires.

Tivoli Garden was opened on 15^th August 1843 and is the third-oldest operating amusement park in the world.

Even back in 1843, Tivoli had it all; a theatre, all sorts of eateries, bandstands, gardens full of flowers, mechanical rides such as the merry go round and even a railway.

At night, the gardens light up with colored lamps. During special occasions, fireworks are released, and reflections of the spark can be seen on Tivoli's Lake, giving it a wonderful view.

As time went by, the rides were added and upgraded.

The most famous ride there would be the wooden roller coaster called Rutschebanen or The Mountain Coaster. It was built in 1914 and is still operating as one of the world's oldest wooden roller coasters.

Tivoli has added a virtual reality experience to some of its rides.

Things to know:

Welcome to the original place of LEGO.

The LEGO House is 12,000 square meters wide and is filled with 25 million LEGO bricks. It is also within the vicinity of Legoland as well as the headquarters of The LEGO Group.

LEGO House is always open to visitors, but at the same time, it was built to offer a common space for the locals in Billund. This is because LEGO House is located in the center of Billund.

It has facilities such as a shop, restaurant, and roof terrace that is made to be fully accessible to the public from the ground floor.

The LEGO House was designed so that visitors may have many engaging and creative experiences when they come for a visit. The designer wants their visitors to be able to build, play with LEGO, interact with technology and just be creative.

The house has been divided into several zones:

At the center of LEGO House, there is the Tree of Creativity, a 15-meter-tall LEGO tree made of 6,316,611 Lego bricks.

The house also has a masterpiece gallery where it is an exhibition of constructions made by adult fans of LEGO (AFOL). This is one of their efforts to provide opportunities for their AFOLs to showcase their creativity and talent.

Of course, there is also a museum, a place where visitors can learn about the brand and timeline as well as see some of the Lego sets that have been released throughout the years.

Seeing as how LEGO House is the only one in the world, it is definitely a place to visit in Denmark.

Try saying that in one breath.

Seeing how Denmark has a rich history and Vikings play a big part in their history, the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is a must-visit place when in Denmark.

This museum is Denmark's national ship museum, especially for ships that are from the prehistoric and medieval periods. It is a permanent exhibition that has the five original Viking ships, Skuldelev.

These ships were excavated from the area back in 1962 when it sank back in 1070 in Roskilde Fjord in order to block the navigational channel in the harbor - a common defense move from the enemies.

Having these ships (ranging from warships to cargo ships) at the bottom of the fjord would prevent enemies from being able to cross the area into Roskilde.

Things to know:

The ship museum not only exhibits the ships that were excavated, but they are also in a long tradition of reconstructing and building the ships.

The museum also collects ships from all over Scandinavia. There are over 40 vessels there now, but the original Skuldelev Viking Ship is still the main focus there.

In summer, some of the ships would be launched for sea voyages to experiment and gain knowledge on seafaring techniques and the life of a Viking.

Visitors are welcomed where they will be able to learn about the ships and engage in the shipbuilding process here.
