Denmark

Denmark has very unique-looking direction signs that are very useful to recognize the country. They are low to the ground and framed by pipes. They are either coloured red and white or blue and white, with a directional arrow incorporated into the background. Signs often feature road numbers.

Some larger road signs have a more standard layout without the pipe frame. Highway signs have blue or green backgrounds.

Danish is a North Germanic language that is closely related to Swedish and Norwegian. The Danish alphabet contains these special letters: Æ, Ø, and Å.

NOTE: The special letters found in Danish can also be found in some of the other Northern Germanic languages:

• Norwegian uses Æ, Ø, and Å.

• Faroese uses Æ and Ø but not Å. 

• Icelandic only uses Æ.

• Swedish only uses Å. In addition, Swedish uses Ä and Ö, which are not found in Danish.
