]]> Going on vacation allows you to relax, but there are still some rules you should follow when you arrive at the destination you chose. Big cities can be overwhelming, especially when you don’t have too much time to see everything you want, and here are some things you should never do in the cities.

Make Sudden Stops

Treat sidewalks like streets and don’t just stop when you want to take a photo or check something on your phone. There are likely hundreds of people around you at all times who just want to get to work on time or have some other place to be, so be mindful when stopping.

Ignore Escalator Rules

Most big cities around the world have a clear escalator rule: stand on one side and walk on the other. You’ll quickly notice which side is for standing (it’s usually right) so don’t occupy the other side and let the people who are in a rush climb freely.

Feed the Pigeons

Many people find feeding the pigeons cute, but depending on the city, you can even be fined for it. This seemingly fun activity is not good for pigeons nor the cityβ€”pigeons shouldn’t eat human food, plus they can carry some diseases and nobody wants to deal with that.

]]> 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.
