STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Denmark
============================================================
Denmark - Consular Information Sheet
October 3, 1995
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 the 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 and Prevention'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 hints on
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: 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 and when getting out of
cars and buses. Cyclists and Danish pedestrians alike are often
injured after inadvertently stepping into the bicycle lanes.
Registration and Embassy Location: Americans who register in the
Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy can obtain updated information
on travel and security in Denmark. The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen
is located at Dag Hammarskjolds Alle 24; telephone (45) 31-42-31-44.
No. 95-121
This replaces the Consular Information sheet dated April 18, 1994,
to update information on cyclists and local law.
