Denmark Travel Advisory Updated by U.S. State Department

The U.S. Department of State published an updated Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution advisory for visitors to the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.

About 63 million international and domestic tourists visited Denmark in 2023, including over 600,000 from the United States.

As of September 17, 2024, the State Department advises travelers to be aware of their surroundings when traveling to tourist locations and crowded public venues. Additionally, travelers should enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to receive alerts, which makes locating you in an emergency easier.

Furthermore, Denmark has excellent medical facilities, such as modern and fully equipped hospitals. However, medical facilities in Greenland and the Faroe Islands are limited, and evacuation is required for serious illness or injury. For emergency services in the Kingdom of Denmark, dial 112, and vaccine information is posted at this link.

The U.S. CDC says those travelers who may be at increased risk of an infectious disease due to their work, lifestyle, or underlying health problems should be up to date with recommended vaccines, which may need to be administered one month before visiting Denmark.

Health clinics and pharmacies in the U.S. generally offer travel vaccines.
