About Denmark


Denmark Flag
The map shows Denmark, officially the Kingdom of Denmark, a country in northwestern Europe, situated on the Jutland peninsula and its main islands of Zealand and Funen.

The country is located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, north of Germany and west of Sweden, across the Kattegat the maritime link between the North– and the Baltic Sea.

With an area of 43,094 km² Denmark proper is the smallest of the Scandinavian countries, just somewhat bigger than Switzerland, or slightly less than twice the size of the U.S. state of Massachusetts.

Including the Faroe Islands and Greenland, which are self-governing countries under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark, the country shares maritime borders with Canada, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Denmark has a population of 5.8 million people (in 2019); its capital, largest city, and chief port is Copenhagen. The official language is Danish; recognized regional languages are Faroese, Greenlandic, and German.

Denmark consists of the peninsula of Jutland, the main island of Zealand (Sjaelland), which includes the capital of Copenhagen and nearly half the population. Zealand is connected to the island of Funen by the Great Belt Bridge and with Sweden via Amager island by the Öresund (Øresund) Bridge. The kingdom has a land border with Germany on Jutland with the German Federal State of Schleswig-Holstein.

The island of Bornholm lies about 130 km (80 mi) to the east in the Baltic Sea, a relic of a time when Denmark’s kings completely controlled the Baltic region.
