About Denmark

Denmark is a Scandinavian country located in Europe. With several islands attached to its territory in the Baltic Sea, its capital and the most populated city is Copenhagen. It is the seventh richest country in the world, making the quality of life of its citizens very high. Denmark is the home of the famous poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen and in Odense, his old medieval hometown, is the oldest city in the country where a museum in his honor is located. A curiosity of Denmark, which responds to its ecological practices in general, is the large amount of population that uses bicycles as a means of transportation: there are many miles of bicycle routes, and ultimately, it is a country that competes with the Netherlands to be the capital of cycling. Copenhagen is a particular city, because in addition to the common urban city attributes such as multiculturalism, bustling atmosphere and buildings upon buildings, there is a regulation that states that every citizen should be within a short 15-minute stroll of a green area or the beach.
