Tourism in Denmark is characterized by the friendly, relaxed atmosphere found throughout the little land, and a closeness to nature.

This term means spending quality time with family and friends, in a relaxed atmosphere. Danes are friendly, outgoing, beautiful and very well-educated. The majority of Danes speak English, and are glad to do so; thus, travelling in Denmark is easy for many people because of the large common language base and the traditional hospitality.
