(Times for Copenhagen)

The times of sunrise and sunset in Denmark are significantly influenced by the country's very northern position in the hemisphere. Relatively high in the north the days in summer are long and short in winter. With up to approximately 17:40 hours the longest days happen in Juni. On the other hand, the longest and darkest nights are in winter (in the southern hemisphere it is the other way around). In Dezember a night in Copenhagen lasts almost 17 hours.

Who wants to look at the sunrise in these days, can take it easy. Late by 8:09 the sun rises in Copenhagen. The early sunset at 16:35 makes the day currently a bit too short.
