Frequently asked questions

How attractive is North Korea as a destination for visitors from Denmark?

North Korea offers a unique and intriguing experience for travelers, marked by its tightly regulated attractions and distinct charm. While the accommodation options are limited and not luxurious, they reflect the country's unique hospitality. Given that 3.2 million Danes travel abroad annually, there is potential interest among some Danish visitors in exploring North Korea.

Please answer the following question: How safe is North Korea for tourists coming from Denmark?

North Korea presents significant safety concerns for tourists from Denmark. While Denmark ranks 6th in safety for walking alone at night among European countries, North Korea is ranked 149th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a much lower level of safety. Crime statistics highlight this disparity: Denmark has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, whereas North Korea's data is unavailable. The Global Organized Crime Index also reflects serious issues in North Korea, with high scores in state crime (10.0) and human trafficking (8.0), compared to Denmark's much lower scores across various crime categories. In summary, while Denmark is one of the safest countries, North Korea poses considerable risks for tourists, making it essential for travelers to exercise extreme caution and thoroughly research before visiting.
