Updated as of April 2026

Explore Denmark tour packages with Thrillophilia, starting from INR 105,000 per person for 5 to 7 days, with itineraries extending up to 10–11 days based on travel style and inclusions. Denmark ranks consistently among the most liveable countries in the world. It is also the birthplace of LEGO, the concept of hygge, and several influential design movements. 

A well-planned Denmark tour package allows you to experience both its historic heritage and modern lifestyle in a compact and easy-to-explore country. Most trips begin in Copenhagen, where colourful harbour streets and royal palaces are located in a bike-friendly city layout of over 390 km of cycling lanes.

Indian travellers can reach Copenhagen directly from Delhi via Air India in approximately 9-10 hours. You will need a Schengen visa, which now provides access to 29 member countries, and Danish Kroner (DKK), as the country does not use the Euro. Once you reach there, the efficient DSB trains connect Copenhagen to the Renaissance architecture of Kronborg Castle in Helsingør and the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde.

Many itineraries also include natural highlights like the “sunshine island” of Bornholm or the large migrating sand dunes of Råbjerg Mile. The safe urban areas and wild coastlines make Denmark a suitable destination for families, couples, and first-time travellers to Scandinavia.

You must first fill out the visa application form and book an appointment online at vfsglobal.com. At the appointment, you should submit documents and biometric details. The usual processing time is about 15 days, but we recommend that you apply at least 6 weeks before the travel date.

Best Time to Visit Denmark

Summer (June–August) (Peak Season)

Summer is the most popular time to visit Denmark. The country experiences long daylight hours, sometimes up to 17 hours, with sunset often after 10 pm in June. During this time, the temperature ranges from 18°C-22°C, which is perfect for sightseeing, beach visits, cycling, and outdoor festivals. Copenhagen’s waterfront areas, parks, and cultural events are lively during this period. Many families plan a trip to Denmark in the summer because it also aligns with Indian school holidays. However, hotels and flights are in high demand, so early bookings are recommended.

Traveller Note: While summer offers up to 16–17 hours of daylight, hotel prices and attraction queues are at their peak, especially from mid-June to early August.

Spring and Autumn (April–May, September–October) (Shoulder Season)

Spring and early autumn offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and better travel value. During April and May, the parks and gardens in Copenhagen bloom with tulips and seasonal flowers. Autumn brings cooler temperatures and colourful foliage across the countryside. These months are also considered the best time to visit Denmark for travellers looking for comfortable weather and lower prices. Also, the calmer atmosphere makes it easier to explore cities, museums, and scenic towns without peak-season crowds.

Winter (November–March) (Low Season)

Winter in Denmark is cold, with temperatures usually between −5°C and 5°C and shorter days of around 7 hours of daylight. Despite the chill, the season offers a unique atmosphere. Christmas markets in Copenhagen, held from late November to 24 December, attract you towards festive lights, local food, and seasonal decorations. Winter is also the best time to experience Denmark’s famous hygge culture, where cosy cafés, candlelit evenings, and indoor activities become part of daily life. 

How to Reach Denmark

Flights from India to Copenhagen

Air travel is the easiest way to reach Denmark from India. Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is the main international airport, which receives flights from major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. Air India operates a direct flight from Delhi to Copenhagen, with a travel time of about 9-10 hours. You can also choose one-stop flights with airlines such as Air France (via Paris), Lufthansa (via Frankfurt), Emirates (via Dubai), and Qatar Airways (via Doha), which usually take 13-18 hours. 

The return fares typically range from INR 60,000-INR 85,000 for one-stop flights and INR 85,000-INR 1,30,000 for direct or peak-season bookings. Other entry airports to Denmark from India are Billund Airport (BLL) and Aarhus Airport (AAR).

Copenhagen Airport to City Centre

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is located about 8 km from the city centre and offers one of the easiest airport transfers in Europe. The Metro Line M2 connects the airport to central Copenhagen in around 15 minutes, with tickets costing about DKK 36 (INR 430). 

For travel across the country, DSB trains link Copenhagen with cities like Odense (1.5 hours), Aarhus (3 hours), and Aalborg (4.5 hours). Within the city, the Metro, S-tog trains, and cycling lanes make local transport simple and efficient.

Pro Tip: Direct Air India flights from Delhi to Copenhagen tend to fill up quickly for June–August departures, so booking 6–8 weeks in advance often results in noticeably better fares.

Thrillophilia Traveller Note:

Aishwarya Rajesh, who travelled with us and booked ‘Glimpse of Scandinavia | FREE Stockholm Cruise Experience’, told us, “Our trip from Noida to Denmark was focused on architecture, and the Frederiksborg Castle did not disappoint. The surrounding gardens and the lake look like a painting come to life. Amit from Thrillophilia ensured we had the best English-speaking guide for the historical tours.”

Hammershus Ruins in Bornholm is considered the largest medieval fortress in Northern Europe. You can also explore small fishing villages where traditional smoked herring is a local speciality. Several unique 12th-century round churches can be found across the island. 

Thrillophilia Traveller Note:

Shalini Ajith, who travelled with us and booked the Scandinavian Odyssey | Denmark, Sweden, Norway & Finland Group Tour, said, “Watching the bright houses of Nyhavn reflect in the still water of the canal is the most iconic Denmark experience. It’s the perfect spot for photography and people-watching. Everything was coordinated well by the Thrillophilia team.”

Places to Visit on Denmark Tour

1. Rabjerg Mile

Rabjerg Mile is a massive natural attraction in North Jutland. It is the largest migratory sand dune in Northern Europe, covering about one sq km. The strong coastal winds slowly move this 40-metre-high dune around 15 to 18 metres northeast each year while gradually covering nearby vegetation. You can walk along the dune’s ridge to observe the contrast between open sand and the surrounding green landscapes. 

The site is also popular for hiking and sand sledging across the soft terrain. Travellers of Denmark packages also note sightings of birds and small wildlife in the surrounding nature.

2. Winter Bathing

Winter bathing is an ancient Danish tradition that blends outdoor challenge with wellness habits. This activity involves short dips in cold Nordic waters during the winter months.

La Banchina in the Refshaleøen area has a small restaurant, wine bar, and harbour-side sauna. You can warm up in a wood-fired sauna while looking across the water. A common routine here is alternating between the heat of the sauna and a quick jump into the harbour. This “heat and cold” cycle forms part of traditional Nordic wellness habits. The setting feels calm compared to the busy central districts of Copenhagen. Travellers stop here after exploring nearby waterfront areas included in their Denmark tour package.

• Local Insight: At places like La Banchina, it is common to alternate between a 10–15 minute sauna session and a quick harbour dip, even in colder months.

5. Camp Adventure (Forest Tower)

Located in the Gisselfeld Kloster Forest, the Camp Adventure is about an hour from Copenhagen. Its main feature is the Forest Tower, an hourglass-shaped observation structure rising about 45 metres above the trees.

Beaches to Visit on Denmark Tour

1. Rageleje Beach

3. Sondervig Beach

Sondervig Beach on Denmark’s west coast near the North Sea is recognised for its long stretch of wide sand.

5. Romo Beach

Romo Beach on Rømø Island in southern Denmark is one of the broadest beaches in Europe. The wide sand flats allow you to drive directly onto certain sections of the beach. Another good part is that the shallow waters and steady coastal winds make the area popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing during warmer months.

Restaurants in Denmark

Indian Restaurants in Copenhagen

Copenhagen has a strong Indian restaurant community, particularly in Vesterbro and Nørrebro neighbourhoods. These areas offer several reliable dining options for travellers. Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians will find suitable choices at the Indian restaurants listed below:

1. Rangoli: Rangoli in Copenhagen serves traditional Indian dishes in a relaxed dining setting. Its specialities include chicken tikka masala and lamb curry, complemented by garlic naan. The restaurant also provides several vegetarian options and accommodates dietary preferences.

Many restaurants offer tasting menus that fall into the fine dining category. While they are not budget options, many food travellers consider them a memorable part of visiting Denmark.

4. Restaurant Sushi Nørregade: Restaurant Sushi Nørregade is located in central Copenhagen, a short walk from Nørreport station. The restaurant specialises in Japanese sushi prepared with fresh ingredients. Its central location makes it easy to include during city sightseeing.

Denmark for Indian Travellers

Currency (Danish Krone, Not Euro)

Denmark is part of the European Union but uses the Danish Krone (DKK) as its currency, instead of the Euro (EUR). As of April 2026, 1 DKK is roughly INR 12, though travellers should verify the rate before departure. It is advised not to pre-load Euros for a Denmark trip. Most shops, restaurants, and public transport systems accept only the Danish Krone. 

Indian travellers find it easier to pre-order DKK from Indian forex providers before flying. But another option is withdrawing cash from ATMs at Copenhagen Airport after arrival. Also, most payments across Denmark are digital. Credit and debit cards work almost everywhere, including metro stations, cafés, and museums.

Vegetarian and Indian Food

Vegetarian travellers generally manage well in Denmark, especially in larger cities. Copenhagen has a growing number of international and Indian restaurants. Even the neighbourhoods such as Vesterbro and Nørrebro have many global dining options. The well-known Indian restaurants in Denmark are Rangoli in Frederiksberg, The South Indian in Vesterbro, and Urban Indian Restaurant.

When ordering food during a trip to Denmark, saying “vegetarisk” (vegetarian) usually helps restaurant staff suggest suitable options. Supermarkets such as Netto, Rema 1000, and Bilka are also useful for budget meals, as they offer ready-to-eat items, fresh produce, and plant-based products.

Getting Around (Metro, DSB, Cycling)

Denmark has an efficient transport system that makes moving between cities simple. Most travellers use a combination of metro, trains, and bicycles:

Metro: Copenhagen’s metro system runs frequently and connects the airport with the city centre. The national rail network DSB links major destinations such as Aarhus, Odense, and Helsingør.

Cycle: Cycling is also a major part of daily life in Denmark. Copenhagen alone has more than 390 kilometres of dedicated cycle lanes. Renting a bicycle usually costs around DKK 100-150 (INR 1,200-INR 1,800) per day. It is the cheapest and most authentic way to explore the city. Cyclists generally have the right of way, and riding in pedestrian zones is not allowed.

Power Adapters and SIM Cards

Denmark uses Type F and Type K power plugs, which have round two-pin connectors commonly used across Europe. Indian plugs such as Type D or Type M do not fit these sockets, so travellers should carry a universal travel adapter. Buying one before departure is usually more convenient.

For connectivity, tourist SIM cards are easily available at Copenhagen Airport and convenience stores such as 7-Eleven. Major telecom providers, including TDC, Telia, and YouSee, offer short-term tourist data plans. Indian travellers can also activate international roaming packs from Airtel or Jio, which work well for shorter visits covered under many Denmark tour package itineraries.

Cashless Society (Card Tips)

Denmark is one of the most cashless societies in Europe. Most cafés, transport systems, and tourist attractions accept card payments only. So, you should carry Visa or Mastercard debit or credit cards, as these are widely accepted across the country. However, some small shops and restaurants do not accept cash at all. Hence, paying digitally is faster and more convenient.
