Get to know Denmark and the Danes

I am delighted to welcome you to the updated version of the Danish Embassy website. Here you can get to know more about Denmark, the Danes and the Danish way of living.

Whether you are seeking information about visas for Denmark, looking for the date of a Danish pop concert in the UK or requiring assistance with your plans to do business in Denmark or Britain, I hope that you will find the information you need.
 
The abundance of information on our website is testimony to the strong and ever evolving relationship between the United Kingdom and Denmark as our two nations continue to collaborate in a large number of different areas.

In 2011, our armed forces continued their very important work in Afghanistan and Danish aircrafts flew missions alongside their RAF counterparts in the successful NATO-led mission in Libya.
 
In business, trade between the UK and Denmark continue to flow despite a challenging economic climate. On the cultural front, we continue to entertain and inspire each other with many exports crossing the North Sea. Perhaps most notably the Danish hit TV-drama ‘The Killing’ on BBC Four that has received rave reviews and got many more Brits interested in Denmark.
 
With the Danish EU Presidency and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games taking place in 2012 the strong UK-Danish collaboration is set to continue.
