Denmark is one of those countries that you simply have to visit in order to understand better. From the outside, it looks like a typical European nation that's stuck in the past while barely hanging on in the present. But when you actually go here, you'll know that they're more in touch with reality than you probably realize. A good example is the transportation apps. It's no secret that these programs have helped the way people travel well into the 21st century. But Denmark doesn't just have transportation apps, many of theirs are homegrown. Here are the best transportation apps n Denmark.

Since the likes of Uber and Lyft don't operate in Denmark, the top ride-hailing app in the country is Moove.
