 Denmark was one of the
founding members of the
United Nations and NATO, and
in
1973 joined the EU.
Regardless, Danish citizens
remain unwilling to support the
EU's expansion, and in 2000,
firmly rejected the Euro as
their currency, much
to the chagrin of business
leaders and the government.
This is a proud land of
Viking history, and long held
traditions of independence,
neutrality and royalty.
Tourism is a strong industry in
Denmark, as visitors
from around the world return
time and again to enjoy its
ancient ruins and
castles, cultural festivals,
Copenhagen and fabulous
Tivoli Gardens, Legoland
(for kids of all ages),
Bornholm Island and the
country's many islands, and
picturesque towns and
villages.
