Denmark is a member of the Schengen Area, allowing travellers from many countries to enter visa-free for short stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This includes nationals from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Ensure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your planned date of departure.
