Travel and tourism in Denmark - statistics & facts
Denmark is the most popular tourism destination spot among the Nordic countries, despite being the smallest country in Scandinavia. Almost half of the inbound tourists in these countries stayed in Denmark in 2023. From picturesque waterfronts, with colorful townhouses lining the sidewalks that reflect into the water, to shifting northern dunes and to the colliding sea, Denmark has much to offer in terms of natural beauty. The country consists of the Jutland peninsula and a myriad of islands, which also includes Greenland and the Faroe Islands, that stretch from the immediate border of Germany to the bridges interconnecting the Danish realm to the mainland of Sweden. Throughout 2024, there were over 65 million overnight stays, with more than half of those being international tourists.
