Provinces of Denmark

The provinces of Denmark (Danish: Landsdele) are statistical divisions of Denmark, positioned between the administrative regions (Regioner) and municipalities (Kommuner). They are not administrative divisions, nor subject for any kind of political elections, but are mainly for statistical use. Provinces are only used for Metropolitan Denmark (thus excluding its Atlantic autonomous territories).

There are five regions (EU standard NUTS 2) and eleven provinces (EU standard NUTS 3). The provinces Copenhagen City and Copenhagen surroundings are largely build up areas, the same applies also for large parts of East Zealand and North Zealand.
