Denmark - Lego

Although it doesn't seem so, Denmark is the least densely populated country in Northern Europe. Only 20% of the country is populated and almost 20% of the population lives in the capital Copenhagen. Denmark is known for its LEGO.

The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well".

It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global enterprise that is now, in terms of sales, the world’s third-largest manufacturer of toys. The LEGO Group is engaged in the development of children's creativity through playing and learning. Based on the world-famous LEGO® brick, the company today provides toys, experiences and teaching materials for children in more than 130 countries.

Legoland Billund is Denmark’s most famous and popular amusement park for families and children of all ages. More than 60 million LEGO Bricks were used to build all models in Legoland.
