STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Denmark
============================================================
Denmark - Consular Information Sheet
 April 18, 1994

Country Description: Denmark is a highly developed stable democracy 
with a modern economy.  Tourist facilities are extensive, and 
English is widely spoken.

Entry Requirements:  A passport is required.  A tourist or business 
visa is not required for stays up to three months (the 90-day period 
begins when entering the Nordic area:  Sweden, Norway, Finland, 
Denmark, Iceland).  For further information concerning entry 
requirements for Denmark, travelers can contact the Royal Danish 
Embassy at 3200 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20008 at 
telephone (202) 234-4300, or the nearest Danish Consulate General in 
Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York.

Medical Facilities:  Medical facilities are widely available.  U.S. 
medical insurance is not always valid outside the United States.  
Travelers have found that in some cases, supplemental medical 
insurance with specific overseas coverage has proved to be useful.  
Further information on health matters can be obtained from the 
Centers for Disease Control's international travelers hotline on 
(404) 332-4559.

Crime Information: While Denmark has a low crime rate, travelers to 
Copenhagen and other major cities can become targets for pickpockets 
and sophisticated purse snatchers.  Purses and luggage are 
particular targets for thieves in hotel lobbies and breakfast rooms, 
airports, and train stations.  The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. 
passport should be reported immediately to local police and to the 
nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.  U.S. citizens can refer to the 
Department of State's pamphlet "A Safe Trip Abroad" for ways to 
promote a more trouble-free trip.  The pamphlet is available from 
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington, D.C. 20402.

Drug Penalties:  U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the 
country in which they are traveling.  Penalties for possession, use, 
and dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can 
expect jail sentences and fines.

Other Information: The nationwide police/fire/ambulance emergency 
telephone number is 112.  Cyclists have the right-of-way over 
pedestrians and automobiles in Denmark and it is important to watch 
for traffic from bicycle lanes when crossing streets.

Registration: Americans who register in the Consular Section of the 
U.S. Embassy can obtain updated information on travel and security 
in Denmark.

Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen is located at Dag 
Hammarskjolds Alle 24; telephone (45) 31-42-31-44.

 No. 94-048
