Denmark is a really stunning country that has some unique social and cultural rules that are pretty important to know before you go, so check out this guide to make sure you’re hip to everything!
Bikes
All over Europe bikes are a big deal. However, in a place like Denmark, it’s second nature. You might be tempted to use one wherever you visit, but beware in big cities like Copenhagen it’s not necessarily a place where tourists are invited to bike. If you’re not a city biker, you will be shocked by the way the flow of bike traffic is handled, and if you get flustered, you could potentially hurt yourself and others.
Jaywalking
Another traffic-related rule is to never jaywalk. This is something you might find in other European countries as well, but the Danes take it really seriously. Not only will you blend in more if you follow this rule, but you will avoid potentially getting a hefty ticket!
The Language
Normally it’s really polite to go to a new place and learn a few words to seem considerate. However, in Denmark, the language is so difficult that there’s really no use. Also, English is almost everyone’s second language, so you don’t need to know it out of courtesy.
