Denmark
Denmark is one of the 193 UN member states, in Northern Europe. UN Tourism counted 33.1 million international arrivals there in 2019, more visited than 91% of the 199 places with figures, so its stamp in Globestamp is printed in Metallic.

Does Denmark count as a country?
Yes. Denmark is one of the 193 UN member states, so every common list counts it: the UN’s 193, Globestamp’s 250 and the Travelers’ Century Club’s 330.
| List | Counts Denmark? |
|---|---|
| UN member states (193) | Yes, a member |
| Globestamp’s countries and territories (250) | Yes |
| Travelers’ Century Club (330) | Yes, as Denmark |
| European Union | Yes, a member state |
| Schengen area | Yes, since 25 March 2001 |
Denmark also has territories that most travelers count separately: Faroe Islands and Greenland.
The Denmark stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Denmark’s is Metallic: ink with mica in it, the finish for places with 15 to 40 million visitors a year. With 33.1 million international arrivals in 2019, Denmark is more visited than 91% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Denmark
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Denmark when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
Places in Denmark you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Denmark, from 10 World Heritage Sites.

5 regions to fill in
Globestamp goes deeper than countries: its regions layer splits Denmark into 5 regions (Natural Earth’s first-level divisions), and each one fills in when a photo was taken there.

Is Denmark a country?
Yes. Denmark is one of the 193 UN member states, so every common list counts it: the UN’s 193, Globestamp’s 250 and the Travelers’ Century Club’s 330.
How many tourists visit Denmark a year?
UN Tourism (via the World Bank) counted 33,093,000 international arrivals in Denmark in 2019, the 18th most of the 199 places with figures. Countries count arrivals in different ways (some include day-trippers and cruise passengers), so treat it as a rough rank rather than an exact number of tourists.
How rare is a Denmark stamp in Globestamp?
It is printed in Metallic, the finish for places with 15 to 40 million visitors a year, rarer than 9% of the places with figures. The fewer travelers a place receives, the rarer its finish, from plain Ink to Mythic.
