Current Travel Situation
Mongolia to Denmark: What You Need to Know
Mongolia is a landlocked country in Central/East Asia between Russia and China, with a nomadic cultural heritage and the legacy of the Mongol Empire. Denmark is a Schengen member state and Mongolian citizens require a Schengen visa for all Schengen destinations. Denmark has a small but noted Mongolian community, and Denmark's interest in Mongolia stems partly from shared historical connections through Viking-era trade routes and more recently through development cooperation. Denmark is famous for design excellence, cycling culture, sustainability, the Little Mermaid statue, Nyhavn canal district, and Legoland (Billund). Copenhagen is consistently among the world's most liveable cities.
How to Get There
No direct Ulaanbaatar-Copenhagen flights exist. Common connections: via Moscow (Aeroflot, ULN-SVO then SVO-CPH), via Beijing (Air China or MIAT, ULN-PEK then PEK-CPH with Scandinavian Airlines SAS or other European carriers), or via Istanbul (Turkish Airlines, ULN-IST then IST-CPH). MIAT Mongolian Airlines operates ULN to several Asian hubs with onward European connections. Total journey time from Ulaanbaatar to Copenhagen is approximately 12-18 hours.
Money & Banking
Denmark uses the Danish krone (DKK), NOT the euro, despite being an EU member. Budget DKK 800-1,500 ($110-200 USD) per day for mid-range travel in Copenhagen. Denmark is one of Europe's most expensive countries. Cards are almost universally accepted, as Denmark is nearly cashless.
Practical Tips
Copenhagen highlights: Nyhavn (colourful canal district, one of Europe's most photographed street scenes), Tivoli Gardens (historic amusement park in the heart of the city), The Little Mermaid statue, Rosenborg Castle and its crown jewels, the National Museum (comprehensive Viking and Danish history). Day trips: Kronborg Castle in Helsingor (Shakespeare's Hamlet's Elsinore, 45 minutes from Copenhagen), Frederiksborg Palace. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (40km north) is world-class. Legoland in Billund is Denmark's most-visited attraction. For Mongolian visitors, the Viking Museum at Roskilde and the National Museum's Central Asian collections may hold special interest.
