Denmark is a liberal, tolerant country. The defining aspect of culture here is hygge: spending quality time with friends or loved ones over good food and drink. Remember that the Danish language doesn鈥檛 have a specific word for 鈥減lease鈥, so don鈥檛 be upset if Danes leave it out when talking to you in English (which most Danes speak amazingly well). When wandering about, don鈥檛 stray into the cycle lanes alongside most roads, and be aware that locals will always wait for the green 鈥渨alk鈥 light at pedestrian crossings 鈥 even when there isn鈥檛 a car in sight.
Tipping is not expected, as service charges are included in hotel, restaurant and bar bills; however, if you think you鈥檝e had particularly good service it鈥檚 not unheard of to leave a few kroner.
Smoking is banned in most restaurants, caf茅s and bars.
