Quarantine-free travel for arrivals from yellow regions to Denmark

No isolation for “yellow” arrivals

In Denmark, countries and regions are classified into three categories – “yellow”, “orange” and “red” according to their epidemiological situation each week. Travellers from “yellow” countries are not subject to quarantine rules or have a “worthy purpose” to enter the country. All travellers arriving from “orange” or “red” countries must quarantine for 10 days on arrival. However, the quarantine period may be reduced if a negative PCR test can be provided after four days.

All travellers arriving by air must provide a negative COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours prior to departure. There are currently no specific requirements as to the type of COVID-19 test and both rapid antigen and PCR are accepted. A second test must be taken no later than 24 hours after entering Denmark. Travellers who are not resident in Denmark or hold a Danish residence permit will be subject to testing if arriving via sea or land borders.

Children aged 12 and under, as well as passengers flying to Denmark from Greenland and the Faroe Islands, are exempt from testing.

Danish nationals and those who hold a valid residence permit can enter the country regardless of their purpose.

Step into the world of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in a Danish castle

Located fifty kilometres north of Copenhagen, on the far eastern tip of Denmark, Kronborg Castle in Helsingør is a stunning example of a Renaissance fortress. Built in 1574 overlooking the Øresund, the stretch of water between Denmark and Sweden, the fortress is said to be the inspiration for Elsinore Castle in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. A Unesco World Heritage Site, come to explore its sandstone defences, intact crypts and stone statues as you step into Shakespeare’s vision of Hamlet’s castle.
