The minimum you must know

One of the most peaceful places in the world is the ambitiously created Oresund Bridge that allows Swedes and Danes free road travel over seas separating the countries. The large development project decades ago was an expression of peace between the countries. Denmark and Sweden were royal security competitors in previous centuries, who have consequently competed animatedly at sports ever since. But they developed a shared culture of peaceful non-intervention and love for one another that brought modern peace and mutual understanding to the area ever since.

The Danish coastal capital Copenhagen is built around an elegant amusement park called Tivoli and some of the most scenic historic harbors anywhere. This creates a very enjoyable festive and relaxed atmosphere for tourists and residents. Copenhagen is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with quiet modern streets and subdued traditional exterior architecture and interior designs in historic areas that understate the population’s extraordinary talent and creativity. Danes are open to various cultures and have welcomed significant settlement and diversity that creates a sense of excitement and vitality throughout the country.

Scandinavia and Iceland are the happiest regions of the world.  Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Norway are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th happiest countries, according to a fascinating Gallop poll on CNN.

There has been a century of peace for Denmark with all other countries. Today Danes and Swedes are more than just connected by a remarkable bridge. Sports competition and slight cultural differences barely define them. They are nearly one people.
