Guidebook Updates for Denmark

• If your passport is due to expire within six months of your ticketed date of return from Europe, you need to renew it. Allow plenty of time to renew or get a passport, especially while a backlog of applications is causing significant slowdowns — see the US Department of State's travel site for current estimated processing times.
• Bring proof of vaccination, and be sure to check the latest Covid entry requirements for Denmark right up to your date of travel.
