Denmark (excluding Greenland and the Faeroe Islands) has a population of 5.4 million people and covers an area of 43,000 sq.km of which the Jutland peninsula accounts for 29,776 sq.km.
Denmark is an island country, but this fact does not restrict the ease of travelling within the country. The infrastructure is excellent everywhere, and all major islands and the peninsula of Jutland are connected by a network of tunnels and bridges. The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen (1.3 million), which is also the center of government and business. It is located on the island of Zealand only 15 miles from Southern Sweden. In July 2000, Copenhagen became connected to Sweden by a ten-mile bridge/tunnel fixed link. Denmark’s second largest city, Aarhus, is located on the Jutland peninsula, about three hour’s drive by car from Copenhagen. Business visitors can also move easily from one part of the country to another by train or domestic airlines.
