Denmark is one of the most interesting countries in the European Union, even experienced travelers do not get bored here. The country has many historical, cultural and natural attractions, delicious cuisine and interesting traditions.
Denmark location and visa
The main part of Denmark is located on the Jutland peninsula, it also owns several islands, the largest of which are Zeeland, Funen and Falster. Denmark shares borders with Norway and Sweden; several straits share it with these countries. The country also has one land border, with Germany.
Greenland and the Faroe Islands are also Danish territory, although they do not completely belong to it: somewhat more complex rules apply here. They are not officially part of the European Union, so you will not be able to visit them with a regular Schengen visa. If your goal is one of these places, then you need to apply to the Danish consulate for the appropriate visa. It notes that the applicant is allowed to visit Greenland and the Faroe Islands (or one thing, depending on what your plans are). If these marks are not there, then you will not be able to get to Greenland or the Faroe Islands, even with a Danish visa.
If your goal is to visit the main territory of Denmark, you can do this with any Schengen visa, if you already have one in your passport.
