Denmark ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 25 July 1979.

Its cultural focus includes Viking Age monuments, medieval cathedrals and Renaissance castles, with recurring themes such as royal burial sites (e.g., Jelling and Roskilde), Baroque landscapes (e.g., the par force hunting grounds) and maritime heritage. Natural inscriptions highlight geological and ecological significance, notably the chalk cliffs of Stevns Klint and the intertidal Wadden Sea shared with Germany and the Netherlands.
