Denmark (DK)
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy in Northern Europe — the southernmost of the Scandinavian nations — celebrated for its pioneering design aesthetic (Royal Copenhagen, Bang & Olufsen, Lego), the concept of hygge (cosiness and togetherness), the world's best work-life balance, free world-class universities, a welfare state that ranks among the globe's most generous, and Copenhagen consistently topping global rankings for sustainability, cycling infrastructure, and quality of life.

Lægevagten (Out-of-Hours GP Service)
The out-of-hours medical service for non-emergency cases. In Greater Copenhagen, call 1813 first — a nurse triages by phone. You may be directed to a clinic or given advice without visiting.
How to call emergency services in Denmark
112 works from any phone without a SIM card or credit. Operators speak Danish and English. State your location (address and municipality), nature of emergency, and number of people involved. Stay on the line. In remote areas, give GPS coordinates if possible.
