VPNs and other tools worth installing before you go, curated for travelers visiting Denmark.
No Denmark-specific safety or weather app needs to be installed for a normal trip. Call 112 for police, ambulance or fire when there is immediate danger. A foreign mobile phone can dial 112 without adding Denmark's country code. For a non-urgent police matter, call +45 114. Denmark's S!RENEN public-warning system uses cell broadcast, arrives automatically on compatible phones in the affected area and does not require registration or an app. Keep emergency alerts enabled. During a smartphone 112 call, Advanced Mobile Location can automatically send a more precise position to the emergency center, but you should still state the location, municipality, landmark or road direction clearly. DMI is the official source for forecasts and severe-weather notices, and its website works in a browser; the consumer app is Danish-only and is not important enough to recommend to most international visitors. For coastal activity, cycling, bridges or winter driving, check the current official forecast rather than relying only on a generic icon. Save travel-insurance and accommodation contact details offline. Use 112 only for emergencies and let the insurer or local healthcare service direct non-life-threatening medical care.
