Welcome to Silkeborg
"A Highland of Lakes"
Welcome to Silkeborg, Denmark's hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Jutland Peninsula, where pristine natural beauty and Scandinavian charm beckon you to embark on a journey of discovery. Silkeborg, often referred to as the "Danish Lake District," is a city surrounded by stunning lakes, lush forests, and picturesque countryside. As you step into this idyllic oasis, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of tranquility and wonder. Explore the glittering beauty of Lake Silkeborg, where crystal-clear waters mirror the sky, creating a serene backdrop for outdoor adventures. Kayak through the peaceful lakes, hike along scenic trails, or simply unwind by the water's edge and soak in the breathtaking views. For art and culture enthusiasts, Silkeborg offers a delightful array of museums and galleries. Discover the works of Danish artists at the Museum Jorn or explore the fascinating history of the region at the Silkeborg Museum. Each venue is a window into the rich tapestry of Danish culture. Silkeborg is also a culinary haven for food lovers. Savor traditional Danish dishes in charming restaurants, sip on Danish brews in cozy cafes, and indulge in pastries at local bakeries. Don't forget to try the iconic "smørrebrød," open-faced sandwiches that are as delicious as they are visually appealing. The city's warm and welcoming atmosphere extends to its charming town center. Explore quaint boutiques, stroll through the charming streets, and discover hidden treasures in the local shops. The Silkeborg Torv, the central square, is a perfect spot to relax and people-watch. Silkeborg's calendar is filled with events that celebrate its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Don't miss the annual Riverboat Jazz Festival, a unique experience where jazz music echoes along the lakes and canals, or the Silkeborg International Puppet Festival, a delightful treat for all ages. Silkeborg welcomes you with open arms, ready to share its natural wonders, culture, and Danish hospitality. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, an art aficionado, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Silkeborg promises an unforgettable experience. Come and be enchanted by the serenity and charm of this enchanting Danish city; your adventure begins here.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Australia, Croatia and Germany, 3
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Portugal and Germany
Countries receiving points from most juries / Sweden, 19
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Latvia in 3rd place with 10 points from Andorra and Lebanon as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Greece in 22nd place getting 12 points from Italy
It didn't take Sweden all that long to take the lead, and once they were there, they never looked back and cruised to another gold medal. Netherlands settled for the silver and debuting Latvia took home the bronze medal. Last edition's host country, Italy and Germany rounded out the top 5.
Sweden is a founding member of Global Music and for the first 19 editions, they didn't miss a single contest, racking up 5 trophies in the process!
In fact, they kicked off their Global Music career with a gold medal for One More Time. For the next couple of editions they finished outside the top 10, only to bounce back in GM04, winning the silver, and then another gold in GM06 for Jessica Folcker. Their second victory was followed by several other top 10 results and a third gold medal in GM12, when Basshunter finished on top. Back to back victories followed in GM17 and 18 by Carola and Lena Philipsson respectively, and now - with a new HoD, Sónia, at the helm - the Scandinavian nation claims their 6th trophy! Well done Sweden, Sanna Nielsen and Sónia!
