Denmark’s climate is temperate with mild winters and cool summers. The fall is Denmark’s wettest season.

The best time of the year to visit Denmark is during the summer months (June-August). June has longer days which allows for more time to be spent outside. July and August are notoriously tourist-heavy months.

One thing to note about Denmark’s climate is its large variations in daylight. Winter days see an average of seven hours of sunlight a day while the summer days see 18 hours.

Denmark sees a fair amount of petty crime such as pick-pocketing and purse-snatching. This is more common in tourist areas. Violent crimes systematized by crime groups within Denmark also take place occasionally.

Denmark has also recently become more prone to terrorist attacks. Public demonstrations occur regularly. Try to avoid these events while abroad.

Take normal precautions to prevent theft and other crimes.

Denmark’s capital is home to its most popular tourist attraction, the Tivoli Gardens. It is currently referred to as an amusement park but was originally called a pleasure garden. Established in 1843, this garden was one of many that popped up during at the time. It soon became a favorite among those who frequented pleasure gardens.

Tivoli Gardens is a garden featuring thousands of blooming flowers. But, the park also has theme park rides, a theater, restaurants and the fireworks shows.

Here are some essential items to consider bringing on your trip to Denmark:

• Clothing – Layered clothing and rain ponchos are a must for the weather. Make sure you bring a good mix of clothing for the weather you may come across.
• Phrase Book – These can be difficult to find in Denmark. If you’d like to have one, it’s best to bring it from home.
• Travel Documents – Be sure to have a copy of your travel documents with you at all times. Leave your originals in a secure place such as a hotel safe.

All Americans planning a trip to Denmark should register online with the U.S. Department of State before departure. In the event that there is an emergency or an evacuation, the office will be aware of your whereabouts.
