Background Notes: Denmark
Travel
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Customs: No immunizations are required, and US tourists do
not need visas for stays of less than 90 days.
</p>
<p> Climate and clothing: Winters are warmer and summers cooler
than in New England. Woolen clothes are worn most of the year.
</p>
<p> Transportation: Direct flights are available between
Copenhagen and several major US cities, and many international
carriers serve Copenhagen's Kastrup International Airport. Rail
and air services link major European centers. Rail service
leaves daily for London, Paris, and Scandinavian capitals.
Ferries connect Denmark with Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, and
points in the UK and FRG.
</p>
<p> Copenhagen's bus, suburban train, and taxi services are
excellent, and rates are reasonable.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: Local telephone service is good.
Worldwide telephone and telegraph service is available.
Copenhagen is six time zones ahead of eastern standard time.
</p>
<p> Tourist attractions: Tivoli is one of Copenhagen's famous
tourist attractions but is only open during the summer. In
downtown Copenhagen, the Rosenborg Castle exhibits the Danish
crown jewels. Not far from Copenhagen are Kronborg Castle in
Elsinore, Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerod, Fredensborg Castle
in Esrum Lake, the Open Air Museum in Sorgenfri, and the
cathedral and Viking ship museum in Roskilde.
</p>
<p> Hans Christian Andersen's childhood home in Odense has been
turned into a museum. The town of Dragoer, dose to Copenhagen,
as well as the towns of Ribe and Mogeltonder in southern
Jutland, and the islands of Fano, Aero, Samso, and Bornholm
offer glimpses of Danish village and rural life. Copenhagen has
many good, though expensive, hotels. Book in advance for the
April-October season.
