#CARD:Denmark:Travel\Consular Information
Denmark - Consular Information Sheet
April 29, 1993
Country Description: Denmark is a highly developed stable democracy with a
modern economy. Tourist facilities are extensive, and English is widely
spoken.
Entry Requirements: A passport is required. A tourist or business visa is
not required for stays up to three months (the 90-day period begins when
entering Nordic area: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland). For
further information concerning entry requirements for Denmark, travelers can
contact the Royal Danish Embassy at 3200 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington,
D.C. 20008, Tel (202) 234-4300, or the nearest Danish Consulate General in
Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York.
Medical Facilities: Medical facilities are widely available. U.S. medical
insurance is not always valid outside the United States. Travelers have
found that in some cases, supplemental medical insurance with specific
overseas coverage has proved to be useful. Further information on health
matters can be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control's international
travelers hotline on (404) 332-4559.
Crime Information: While Denmark has a low crime rate, travelers to
Copenhagen and other major cities can become targets for pickpockets and
sophisticated purse snatchers. Purses and luggage are particular targets
for thieves in hotel lobbies and breakfast rooms, airports, and train
stations. The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported
immediately to local police and to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
U.S. citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet "A Safe Trip
Abroad" for ways to promote a more trouble-free trip. The pamphlet is
available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Drug Penalties: U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the country in
which they are traveling. Penalties for possession, use, and dealing in
illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences
and fines.
Other Information: The nationwide police/fire/ambulance emergency telephone
number is 112. Cyclists have the right-of-way over pedestrians and
automobiles in Denmark and it is important to watch for traffic from bicycle
lanes when crossing streets.
Registration: Americans who register in the Consular Section of the U.S.
Embassy can obtain updated information on travel and security in Denmark.
Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen is located at Dag
Hammarskjolds Alle 24; telephone (45-31) 42-31-44.
No. 93-071
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 7, 1992, to add
information on driving conditions in Denmark and to add information on
reporting the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
