Life in Denmark

Vikings, Hamlet, existential angst (courtesy of Søren Kierkegaard) – many of the things that we associate with the nation are quite gloomy. But a far more fitting cultural ambassador for the modern nation is the world’s most famous brand of brightly colored building block. (Yes, we’re talking about Lego.) Why? Well, Denmark is actually one of the world’s happiest countries. And there is a lot to be happy about. It is an affluent nation with high wealth equality, it enjoys some of the world’s highest levels of press freedom and gender equality, and it is rich in terms of arts and culture. No wonder Danes have an untranslatable word for a sense of cosiness and contentment (hygge). In recent years, Denmarks best-known cultural establishments include the world-famous Roskilde music festival, Noma (crowned the best restaurant in the world for the past three years running) and smash-hit television series The Killing.
