Denmark is the southernmost country among the five Nordic countries. It is bordered by Germany to the south and Sweden and Norway across the sea to the north. This is the gateway to Northern Europe. The capital, Copenhagen, is the largest city in Northern Europe and an important airport for travel to Northern Europe.

This is also the island where the Danish capital, Copenhagen, the gateway city of Danish tourism. The most famous sights in Denmark, the Little Mermaid, Newport, Hamlet Castle and Frederiksborg, are all located on the island of Zealand.
Funen Island
Funen Island is located between Zealand and Jutland, and is the second largest island in Denmark. Because Odense, the hometown of Andersen, is located on this island, it has also become a must-visit place for Danish tourism. Funen Island has convenient transportation. Trains departing from Copenhagen can reach Odense in just over an hour.
Jutland Peninsula
The Jutland Peninsula is located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and constitutes most of the Danish land. Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, Billund where Legoland is located, Skagen, the northernmost point of Denmark, and the "oyster-flooded" Lim waterway area are all located in Jutland.
