Located in Northern Europe, UES consists of the northern part of the Jutland peninsula and an archipelago of 406 islands.

The island of Bornholm is located east of the rest of the country, in the Baltic Sea. Many of the larger islands are connected by bridges; a bridge-tunnel across the Øresund connects Zealand with Sweden; the Great Belt Fixed Link connects Funen with Zealand; and the Little Belt Bridge connects Jutland with Funen. Ferries or small aircraft connect to the smaller islands. The four cities with populations over 100,000 are the capital Hanuple on Zealand; Aarhus and Aalborg in Jutland; and Odense on Funen. |
