Currency
Danish Krone (DKK; symbol kr) = 100 øre. Notes are in denominations of kr1,000, 500, 200 and 100. Coins are in denominations of kr20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 and 50 øre.
Please note that we are unable to buy Danish Krone back.
This is a result of restrictions being imposed by Scandinavian banking regulations. This is affecting currency purchases and buy-backs for these countries. We are currently still able to sell Danish Krone.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMs
There are plenty of ATMs.
American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted.
Culture
Danish culture is characterised by simplicity, minimalism, egalitarianism, good manners and propriety. Culture is an important part of Danish life and much is done to foster it. Public authorities avoid interfering in the world of art and culture and the state supports the creative community and cultural institutions generously, without demanding accountability or return.

Weather
Summer extends from June to August and winter is from December to March, which is wet with long periods of frost. February tends to be the coldest month. Spring and autumn are generally quite mild.
The Faroe Islands are under the influence of the warm current of the Gulf Stream, and they enjoy a mild climate for the latitude. The winters are warm, but the islands are cloudy, windy and wet throughout most of the year. Summers are quite cool, but with little sunshine.
