Doctors aid (Lægevagten) If you get ill during you stay and its no as bad as you need to go to the hospital. If your staying in a hotel the staff will surly be helpful to contact the medical aid. If you on your own you have to call the “Lægevagten”.
As a temporary foreign visitor, you are entitled to free medical treatment in hospitals and emergency wards if you are taken ill or have an accident, provided that you have not travelled to Denmark with the intention of obtaining treatment and are physically unable to return to your own country.
As a citizen of an EU country visiting Denmark, you are covered by public health insurance within the limits agreed upon between your own country and the Danish authorities.
If you are a citizen of a non-EU country, you should ensure that you have adequate health insurance. Check with your travel agency or your insurance company.

These are really amazing facts about Denmark, that I couldn't resist from borrowing this from the Internet:
Denmark has the oldest capital city and the oldest flag in Europe.
There are more pigs than humans in Denmark!
Denmark actually gets its name from the Danes, people from Sweden who moved to the country in about 500 AD.
Greenland is geographically part of the North American continent, but is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Denmark has 500km of clean sandy beaches, and the cleanest sea in the European Union.
In the past Denmark has had Kings called Harold Bluetooth and Sweyn Forkbeard
Denmark has the oldest monarchy in the world – it goes back over 1,000 years.
Although it’s near to Canada and has it’s own government, Greenland is actually a part of Denmark.
Greenland is the world's largest island with an area of 2,175,600 sq km.
Nearly a quarter of all Danes have the surname Jensen, Nielsen or Hansen.
Two-thirds of the population have a surname ending in ‘sen’. Leave a Comment

 La Sirenita. Postal by Pangea
Está en su emplazamiento desde 1913 y es obra del escultor Edvard Erichsen para rendir homenaje al escritor de cuentos Hans Christian Andersen.
No es realmente espectacular, pero allá donde fueres haz lo que vieres... y pasar por Copenhague sin hacerle una visita a su pequeña sirenita es casi como un pecado. Leave a Comment

 swans by cachaseiro
one reason is that you see a lot of them here and another one is that hans christian andersen wrote the famous fairytale anbout the ugly duckling.
it's also one bird that dosen't migrate south when it gets cold in the winter so you will see it no matter what time of year you come as long as you hit the danish shores. Leave a Comment

You'll find more information about this quaint village on my Dragor page.
One of my fondest memories in Dragor was sitting around the dinner table with Sten, one of my Danish students, and his mom, learning about the Danish tradition of finding the almond in the rice pudding, which is served after Christmas dinner. This evening I found the almond and received a glass etching of the The Little Mermaid as my gift. Leave a Comment

This livingroom is in the converted old train station of Hellum and you can read a bit more about this very small country town on my Hellum page.
Fondest memory of Danmark is meeting my pen-pal, Connie and her family for the first time, Exploring her world and finding out that even though we knew each other only by letters, albeit twenty seven years of letters, we knew each other as well as if we had been living next-door to each other all our lives.
The picture is of Connie’s living room where we spent hours talking about "Old Times." Leave a Comment
