How to recognise Denmark from the road
Drives on the right
Low, green and gently rolling, with red brick and thatch. Denmark shares letters with Norway, but none of its mountains.
What to look for
1
Red-bordered plates
Danish plates are white with a thin red border.
2
Danish letters
Look for æ, ø and å on signs, the same letters as Norway.
3
Flat to rolling
Unlike Norway, the land is low and gently rolling, with open fields and small woods.
4
Brick and thatch
Farmhouses are often red or yellow brick, and some still have thatched roofs.
