Driving in Denmark
Denmark is a compact country which has many scenic roads that can take you from the Tivoli Gardens in Copenghagen to the spectacular ocean views of Denmark’s Atlantic shoreline. Recently, the Great Belt Bridge and Oresund Bridge were completed to connect Denmark and Sweden, via islands of Zealand and Funen. The Great Belt Bridge is 11mi/18km long and took 10 years to complete.
