On Saturday, Denmark opened their borders to fully vaccinated visitors from the UK amongst other OECD countries.

Fully vaccinated means that they've had an EMA approved vaccine and that it has been at least 14 days since the final dose.

There are no longer any restrictions in terms of proving a 'worthy purpose', testing and isolation for these travellers.

Unvaccinated children travelling with vaccinated adults are also allowed entry but will have to test. The same is the case for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

There are several exciting new openings that British visitors can experience, when visiting Denmark.
