DENMARK

Once the home of marauding Vikings, Denmark is now a snug and comfortable country, its ancient flag fluttering over family gardens rather than warships. Even if
most Danish people suspect they live in the best of all possible worlds, they rarely have the poor taste to say so. Prosperous and orderly, Danes are also endowed with
a streak of humor. They're fond of balance, understatement and good design.
Copenhagen, the countryside offers graceful castles, stout churches and small fishing villages that seem to have been lifted from a story by Hans Christian Andersen.
The mostly flat-as-a-pancake terrain connecting these sights makes touring the countryside on a bicycle a pleasant option -- though beware of the strong winds that
may blow in from the sea.

Below you will find the most read newspapers in
Denmark and some sites that might be useful for
you. We are trying our best to cover not only the
newspapers in every country but tourism, cruises
and vacation and a lot more. So, check us out from
time to time... We have a lot to offer.

BACKGROUND
Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a
major north European power, Denmark has
evolved into a modern, prosperous nation
that is participating in the general political
and economic integration of Europe. It
joined NATO in 1949 and the EEC (now the
EU) in 1973. However, the country has
opted out of certain elements of the
European Union's Maastricht Treaty,
including the European Economic and
Monetary Union (EMU), European defense
cooperation, and issues concerning certain
justice and home affairs.
