ARTS AND CULTURE

---

Because of its wealth and prosperity, Denmark is a country with great cultural surplus. Art is often supported by the government and this gives abundant opportunities for artists to develop and express their creativity. But Denmark is also a place where young and untamed culture blossoms in the underground. You find unfinanced graffiti, and street art and cultural festivals based primarily on voluntary work.





SPORT AND LEISURE

---

The Danes like sports – as participants, spectators and in front of the television. Almost two million actively participate in sports as members of an association. Almost two thirds of all children and young people are engaged in organised sports in their leisure time.








FOOD AND DRINK

---

Overall, in Denmark the traditions observed – and in particular eating traditions - vary greatly between the countryside and the major towns and cities.
This is quite clear when one compares what is considered traditional Danish cuisine comprising dishes based on minced meat, gravy and potatoes with more modern Danish cuisine with its emphasis on simplicity and fresh and locally produced high quality ingredients.





TRADITIONS

In Denmark, great honour is paid to traditions and festivals but without great ceremony.












GREEN LIFE

---

To lead a green and sustainable lifestyle can be many different things. In Denmark a lot of people strive to create a better environment by developing new and greener ways of living, greener transportation, town planning, industry etc.









URBAN LIFE

---

If you look below the city surface you’ll find lots of interesting, mind blowing happenings on the urban cultural stage. Young people dancing in the streets at one of the biggest underground electronic festivals in Europe, Denmark’s best graffiti artists competing openly in the urban space and cool skaters in a large urban skate arena – these are some of the things you can experience on this site.
