Current Travel Situation
Hong Kong to Denmark: What You Need to Know
Denmark is a Schengen member and participates in the EU-HK visa exemption. Note that Denmark's overseas territories, including Greenland and the Faroe Islands, are not part of the Schengen Area and have separate entry rules. Travel to those territories requires checking requirements independently. Days spent in mainland Denmark count toward your Schengen allowance.
How to Get There
Sweden and Norway (both Schengen) are directly reachable by train. The Copenhagen-Oslo overnight train was relaunched in 2024. For Scandinavian itineraries, budget carefully as Norway and Sweden are among Europe's most expensive countries.
Money & Banking
Denmark uses the Danish Krone (DKK). Copenhagen is among Europe's priciest cities. Contactless payment is almost universal; cash is rarely needed. Budget DKK 800-1,500 per day for mid-range travel.
Practical Tips
Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is Scandinavia's busiest hub. The Oresund Bridge connects Copenhagen to Malmo, Sweden in 35 minutes by train. Intercity trains connect to Hamburg and Amsterdam via Germany. DSB rail covers domestic routes well.
