Useful links

VisitDenmark.com - a very nice website concerning mostly all the interesting places/festivals/markets/events that are worth visiting while in Denmark. In the Polish version, however, there were some mistakes concerning dates when some events were to take place, so it is worth checking the dates before you decide to participate in any of the listed events!

Official website of Denmark - as the name suggests, a good place to look for official and rather general information.

Rejseplannen - a website that will help you find out how to travel from one place to another. Truly cannot be underestimated! Considers buses, S-Tog (trains), regional trains and travelling on foot. Shows a few options for a chosen route, travel time estimates, number of zones for normal tickets and monthly tickets as well as maps. Greately recommended!

Google Maps - a well known website, especially recommended for finding how to cycle or walk from one place to another. Satellite maps are of a much better quality than these of Poland.
