Geography

Copenhagen is a compact city. The old town is bordered on the west by Radhuspladsen (Town Hall Square), Tivoli Gardens and the CentralRailroad Station; on the north by Orsteds Park and the Norreport Train Station; on the east by Kongens Have (Rosenborg Garden) andKongens Nytorv; and on the south by Christianshavn.

Stroget, the lifeline stretching out from Radhuspladsen to Kongens Nytorv, is the main pedestrian shopping street. To the east of KongensNytorv is the old harbor area, called Nyhavn, with picturesque taverns, quaint restaurants and restored warehouses that now function ashotels lining an old canal. Beyond Nyhavn is Amalienborg Palace, home of Denmark's royal family. South of Copenhagen is the large islandof Amager, once the kitchen garden of the city, where Dutch farmers taught Danes how to grow flowers and vegetables. It's now the site ofCopenhagen Airport and the picturesque town of Dragor.

The old town is surrounded by four colorful residential neighborhoods. Vesterbro stretches southwest from Radhuspladsen alongVesterbrogade. Farther north along Gammel Kongevej is the independent municipality Frederiksberg, which is bordered on the north by

Norrebro. Finally, Osterbro stretches north of the old town along Osterbrogade. Beyond these neighborhoods are Copenhagen's suburbsand most of its parks and recreational areas.

History

Founded in the 11th century as a fishing village in what was then a remote corner of Denmark, Copenhagen gradually became the country'suncontested political, economic and cultural center. Bishop Absalon was the first to recognize the importance of its location on the BalticSea. In the 12th century, the Viking warrior-cleric built the first fortress to defend the area against pirates and planned a compact city behindits ramparts. By the time of his death, the city was a vital military post and a thriving trade center.

In the 15th century, the city's position as Denmark's powerhouse was solidified when the royal family made its permanent home there andthe University of Copenhagen was founded. During Christian IV's 60-year rule in the 17th century, the city began to acquire its current shape,with the construction of many spectacular buildings—some of which still stand, including the Round Tower built in 1642.

After a series of disasters—both natural (fires and the plague) and man­made (wars with Sweden)—Copenhagen emerged in the middle ofthe 19th century as a modern city. It also became the capital of Denmark, which ratified its first constitution in 1849. The city's busy harborand rapid industrialization fueled growth outside the old city walls.

About the same time, Copenhagen's artisans began making a name for themselves with silver and porcelain. A distinctly Danish sense ofstyle that fuses aesthetics and function reached its fullest expression in the 20th century. The clean, elegantly modern lines of Danish designhave since captured the world's attention and have spread from home furnishings (Fritz Hansen) to electronics (Bang & Olufsen) to toys(Lego building blocks) to architectural and interior design.

This modern style is evident in projects around the city, such as the harbor-area development, the Oresund Fixed Link Bridge betweenCopenhagen and Malmo (Sweden), the Opera House and the high-tech metro. Yet Copenhagen retains a distinct old-world charm with itscombination of attractive buildings, relaxing canals and busy streets.

Port Information

Location

Cruise ships dock at Langelinie Pier, which is located near the Little Mermaid statue just north of the old town, and at the Freeport CruiseTerminal, which is north of Langelinie Pier.

Langelinie Pier is within walking distance of Amalienborg Palace, Kongens Nytorv and Town Hall Square. It has several outlet shops, cafesand a Cruise Information Center, where cruise passengers can get free tourist information. Cruise passengers can also reach the city centerby taxi; on the No. 26 bus, which stops at the pier; or on trains from Osterport station, a 15-minute walk from the pier.

The Freeport Cruise Terminal, which handles fewer ships than Langelinie, has restrooms, a kiosk that sells soft drinks and phone cards, anda waiting lounge with Internet access. The Freeport Cruise Terminal is not really within walking distance of the city center. Cruisepassengers can reach the city center by taxi; on the No. 26 bus, which stops at the terminal; or on trains from Nordhavn station, a 15-minutewalk from the terminal.

Shore Excursions

Cruise lines offer a mixture of bus, walking and, in some cases, bicycle tours of Copenhagen. Most tours offer a quick introduction toCopenhagen's highlights, including Tivoli Gardens, Rosenborg Palace and Amalienborg Palace. The central location of Langelinie Pier alsomakes it easy for cruise passengers to tour Copenhagen on their own by foot, bus and boat. Bus 26 goes from Langelinie Pier to KongensNytorv, the Central Railroad Station and Town Hall Square. Canal tours make a stop by the Little Mermaid and make it easy to get toNyhavn.

Theme tours may include a castle tour of North Sealand that takes in Kronborg (Hamlet's Castle) and Frederiksborg Castle; an architecturaltour of Copenhagen that covers both the old (landmark structures built during the reign of Christian IV, the "Builder King") and the new(modernist designs of Arne Jacobsen and Henning Larsen); or longer excursions to Odense, the hometown of Hans Christian Andersen, orRungsted, the home of Baroness Karen Blixen (also known as Isak Dinesen, author of Out of Africa).

Potpourri

Copenhagen was not Denmark's first capital; that was Roskilde, which is about 19 mi/30 km west of Copenhagen and was the traditionalburial site of Danish kings and queens.

Denmark is the oldest continuous monarchy in Europe. Queen Margrethe II, the current monarch, can trace her lineage directly to Gorm theOld, who ruled the Danes in the 900s.

The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel is the world's first designer hotel and was designed in the 1950s by Arne Jacobsen, the father of DanishModernism. He designed the original building and all its furnishings—including the iconic Egg chairs in the lobby. The guest rooms havesince been redecorated, but one—room 606—has been preserved with all of its original furnishings and may be booked for overnight stays.

When Hans Christian Andersen came to Copenhagen from his childhood home, Odense, he lived in the Nyhavn district of the city. Heoriginally intended to become a ballet dancer, and so he spent a great deal of time at the Royal Theatre on Kongens Nytorv.

Almost every Danish brewery brews its own special beer, called julebryg, for Christmas time. It is available from the first Friday in Novemberand is quite strong.

Every evening, 110,000 light bulbs turn the Tivoli Gardens into an Asian fairy-tale palace.

More than 20,000 people commute across the Oresund bridge to or from neighboring Sweden to work. Before the bridge was opened, only

1,500 crossed the strait by ferry.

Hotel Overview

Copenhagen has the usual range of accommodation choices, from luxury to low budget, but hotels are generally expensive, and there arefewer five-star options than one might expect in such a cosmopolitan city. Book as far in advance as possible, particularly during thesummer. Check for weekend, off-season and senior discounts.

Hotels are spread throughout the city. The largest concentration of hotels is near the Central Railroad Station along Vesterbrogade andIstedgade, a good location and generally safe in spite of the sometimes seedy surroundings. More atmospheric accommodations can befound around Nyhavn and along the water, and a number of boutique-hotels have opened. Because rooms in Danish hotels tend to be fairlysmall, there's usually a large lobby or sitting room for relaxing.

Copenhagen's exceptional public transportation system makes it easy to stay in one of the surrounding suburbs, where hotels tend to beless expensive. Many Danish vandrerhjem (youth hostels) both in and out of the city center have pleasant and reasonably priced familyrooms with private baths, and they are often housed in old manors.

See & Do

Sightseeing

If it weren't for the unstable weather, Copenhagen would be the perfect European capital. It has beautiful parks, a picturesque harbor areaand canals through the old town. We prefer to stroll around town, allowing plenty of time to admire the architecture (both old and ultramodern)and to chat with people in shops and small restaurants.

Start out at the redbrick Radhus, or Town Hall, and its square. The Wonderful Copenhagen tourist office is just a block away, and almostevery main sight of the city is within a 20-minute walk. To get oriented, first walk the Stroget (pronounced STROY-et), the pedestrianshopping street around which many restaurants and sights are clustered. Stroget ends on Kongens Nytorv (King's New Square), where theancient harbor of Nyhavn, directly ahead, is a must-see. This is also where the canal tours begin.

Another way to get a view of the city is to climb the Round Tower (Rundetaarn), a 17th-century structure built by King Christian IV. The towerwas the first stage of the Trinitatis complex, which was to include three important facilities for scholars of the 17th century: an astronomicalobservatory, a student church and a university library. Instead of stairs, a huge spiral walkway winds its way to the top of the tower.

Tivoli Gardens, the grande dame of amusement parks, is far too much fun to miss. You have to pay to get in even if you are dining at one ofits restaurants, but it is truly fascinating and children will love it. There are amusement rides, splendid gardens with flowers and exceptionallights, a feast of restaurants and an international concert series, with classical music in the beautifully renovated concert hall and rock music

One of our favorite stops in the city is the 17th-century Rosenborg Palace, where the Danish crown jewels are kept. There are plenty of othercastles to explore in the surrounding area, the two most interesting being Frederiksborg Castle (near Hillerod) and Kronborg, Hamlet'sCastle in Helsingor (Elsinore).

Historic Sites

Amalienborg Palace

Home to the royal family since 1794 and still the winter residence, the palace is actually madeup of four identical rococo structures. Amalienborg Square, with the equestrian statue ofFrederik V, is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe and a major tourist attraction. If youarrive at noon on a day when the royal family is in residence, you can witness 70 guards in high,fur-covered helmets march toward this square from their barracks. Christian VII's Palace is nowclosed to the public. Christian VIII's Palace is a museum that traces the history of the Danishroyal family 1863-1972. 70 DKK entrance fee; 90 DKK on Saturday; free for children youngerthan 17; reduced rates for students and groups of 12 or more.

Assistens Kirkegaard

As the final resting place of Hans Christian Andersen, Soren Kierkegaard, Niels Bohr and manyother famous Danes, Assistens Cemetery provides a step back in time through Danish history.Founded in 1760, it is the largest cemetery in the city. It's sometimes called the NorrebroCemetery and is a popular place for people to take a stroll, to look at the old graves andmonuments and to have a picnic.

Christiansborg Palace

This granite and copper structure was built in the early 1900s. Today, it is one of the mostimportant buildings in Denmark—most of the palace accommodates the Danish Parliament.Guided tours in English take visitors through the ornate reception rooms used by the queenwhen she receives foreign dignitaries. The reception rooms may be closed to the public whenofficial functions are scheduled. When Parliament is in session, the visitors' gallery is open tothe public for free. You can also visit the subterranean ruins of the 12th-century castle that oncebelonged to Bishop Absalon.

Open daily 10 am-5 pm; closed on Monday October-April. Admission to reception rooms: 80 DKK adults, 40 DKK children ages 7-14.Admission to the ruins: 40 DKK adults, 20 DKK children ages 7-14. English-language guided tours of the reception rooms are availabledaily at 3 pm and are included in the admission price.

Little Mermaid

This statue was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's famous tale. The pensive maiden sits on rocks just a few feet/meters into the harboron the north side of the city. She can be reached by a short stroll from Langelinie Pier—a picturesque quay that surrounds the Kastellet (a17th­century fort)—on a longer but pleasant walk from Nyhavn, or via one of the sightseeing buses that departs from Town Hall Square.Canal tours also make a stop by the statue: They're the only way to see her from the opposite side.

Radhus

The 1905 Town Hall is a beautiful mixture of Nordic and Italian architectural inspiration. Noblestatues stand at its entry, on its roof and inside, where the writer Hans Christian Andersen andthe Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr, among others, are honored. The interior is awonder to stroll through, with its handsome brass staircase and fancifully painted walls andarchways.

Rosenborg Palace

Built by King Christian IV in the 17th century, Rosenborg is a chronicle of the Danish kings andqueens who lived there. It's one of our favorite stops, though we do recommend a summer visitbecause of the poor heating and lighting. Three centuries of royal portraits hang,chronologically, in period rooms. The crown jewels are on display as well. No explanations areoffered as part of the displays, so it's a good idea to purchase one of the guidebooks to thecastle at the entrance.

Christiania

This former military base on Christianshavn was peacefully invaded by hippies in 1971 and hasever since been a small, self-proclaimed "free city" of 1,000 inhabitants who live under theirown laws. Christiania's main rule is "say no to hard drugs," implying "yes" to hashish andmarijuana—which used to be openly for sale on Pusher Street until the government actedagainst it in 2004. Christiania is still a fascinating experiment in self-government. The area pastPusher Street is where it gets really interesting, with amazing hand-built houses, bars, galleriesand a colorful spectacle of residents. Before Pusher Street, you'll find a nice market and cultural venues, including Loppen, a leading musicvenue, and Spiseloppen, a restaurant with international cuisine. The main entrance to the area is on Prinssessegade.

The Danish government was pushing for laws to shut down Christiania, which resulted in some peaceful—and some not­so­peaceful—demonstrations and incidents. In April 2011 the residents effectively closed the community for several days to draw media attention to whatthe government was proposing. Now the residents have come to an agreement with the government, collectively, to purchase the area andcontinue running it the way they always have. Visitors to this area should be aware that police sometimes consider the neighborhood unsafeand recommend that you take precautions. Additionally, taking photos in the neighborhood is not welcomed by all locals; ask first beforedoing so.

Christianshavn

This charming island at the southern edge of the city was inhabited in the 1700s as a working-class and fishing suburb. Today, it's one of themost sought-after residential areas for its village atmosphere. Christianshavn makes a pleasant stroll with its converted warehouses, canalsand cobblestoned streets. The island has a left-wing tradition and is the site of the free city of Christiania. It is within walking distance of theopera house. All canal tours pass the area.

Nyhavn

East of Kongens Nytorv, this was once a rowdy neighborhood where sailors ate, drank and slept. It's also the neighborhood where HansChristian Andersen lived when he came to "wonderful" Copenhagen. Its nautical heritage is still reflected in its architecture and atmosphere,but it's now a safe, popular place, especially for a good meal at one of the many outdoor cafes. It's a magnet for photographers andrestaurateurs and a popular starting point for the canal tours.

Vesterbro

Southwest of the city center, this ethnically mixed neighborhood has been going through a process of gentrification since the 1990s and isnow one of the city's most attractive residential areas. For a good impression of Vesterbro, walk down Istedgade, whose strange mixture ofporn shops, ethnic grocery stores, neighborhood bars and hip cafes captures the neighborhood's ongoing transformation. Other streets ofinterest are Vesterbrogade, a busy thoroughfare, and Varnedamsvej, jammed with specialist food vendors and hip boutiques.

Amusement Parks

Bakken Amusement Park

Said to be the world's oldest amusement park, having been at this location since 1583, Bakkenoffers a more rustic experience than Tivoli Gardens, in a beautiful setting among tall, old trees.There are many restaurants and games, and the rides are a little wilder than those in Tivoli.Walk about or ride in the horse-drawn carriages through the nearby park, Dyrehaven (150-400DKK per carriage, maximum six people), to see thousands of free-ranging red, fallow and Sikadeer. Take the S-train to Klampenborg, located 25 minutes from Copenhagen. Follow thepaved road through Dyrehaven.

Open late March-August. Hours vary, but the schedule is generally Monday-Friday 2 pm-midnight, Saturday noon-midnight, Sunday noon-10pm. Admission is free, but visitors must purchase wristbands or tickets for individual rides. Wristbands are valid for all rides and cost 249DKK for one day. .

This is the amusement park and garden said to have inspired Walt Disney—don't miss it. Tivoliis a park of fantasy, filled with flowers and colorful lights. It's a pleasure even for an afternoonstroll.

Although Tivoli is fun during the day, the atmosphere takes on an especiallymagical glow at night. Little ones will enjoy the children's theme park, called Petzi's World afterthe famous Danish cartoon character.

Outside the city lie some quieter parks and suburbs. Many people go jogging, for instance, through Frederiksberg Garden or around thelakes surrounding the old town.

During the summer, Danes often leave the city and head for the beaches on Amager and go to the north and south of the old city.

And in winter, the lake inside Tivoli Gardens and a part of Kongens Nytorv are transformed into romantic outdoor ice-skating rinks withskates for rent.

Beaches

During summer, people sunbathe and swim at Copenhagen's many beaches on Amager or at beaches north or south of the city center.There also are several "harbor beaches"—swimming pools in the harbor itself that demonstrate the water is so clean you can swim in it.These include Copencabana near Fisketorvet shopping mall and Islands Brygge near the Langebro bridge, as well as one at Sluseholmenand one in Svanemolle Bay. The harbor beaches are generally open 11 am-6 pm June-August.

Nightlife

Copenhagen is a late-night city where jazz clubs, nightclubs, dance halls, discos and taverns proliferate. The usual boundaries betweenbars, cafes and clubs have begun to blur, and many quiet cafes turn into happening bars at night; even traditional taverns and restaurantssometimes double as trendy DJ bars.

There is no single distinct nightlife center. Most of the fashionable places in the old town concentrate around the area just north of Strogetnear Kongens Nytorv, but there are also many interesting events and places in Norrebro and Vesterbro. Explore the area around SanktHans Torv on Norrebro and along Vesterbrogade and Istedgade on Vesterbro.

We especially like the live jazz (local and international acts) at the Copenhagen Jazzhouse. Trendy nightclubs include NASA and Rust.

Most bars, taverns and pubs stay open at least until 2 am, and most clubs close at 5 or 6 am.

Day Trips

To Legoland, in Billund. This whole-day excursion is a delight if you have children, or even if you have a fascination with toys. The entire

park is made of Legos (60 million Lego blocks). There are also rides. Open most days April-October only, check Web site for exact days.299 DKK adults, 279 DKK children ages 3-12 and seniors age 65 and older. To avoid lines at the ticket booth, you can buy your entrancetickets online at the Legoland website and print them before your trip. Billund is 140 mi/225 km west of Copenhagen on the JutlandPeninsula and is reachable by plane to Billund or by train to Vejle (continue by bus from there). The train-bus option takes approximatelythree hours each way. Phone 7533-1333. http://www.legoland.dk.

To Roskilde. Denmark's first capital, whose two main attractions are both highly recommended. First is Roskilde Cathedral, the burial site

of Danish kings and queens since the 15th century. As more space was required, new chapels were added to the redbrick structure in avariety of architectural styles. Second is the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum, founded after the discovery of several ancient ships submergedin Roskilde Fjord. In addition to its superb exhibits on Viking shipbuilding and seafaring life, the museum runs world-renowned shiprestoration and reconstruction projects. Regional trains run frequently between Copenhagen and Roskilde. The trip takes less than 30minutes. http://www.visitroskilde.com.

To Malmo, Sweden. The Oresund Fixed Link Bridge links Copenhagen and Malmo. Although the toll to drive over the bridge is exorbitant,

the train is a bargain and very fast, making it simple to cross the border to Sweden for the day. The 15th-century Malmohus Castle and itssurrounding gardens are pleasant. At the other end of the architectural spectrum, there's Turning Torso, an ultramodern residential and office

tower designed by Santiago Calatrava. Lilla Torg is a pretty square lined with galleries, shops and cafes. Shopping is good there, and theprices tend to be slightly lower than in Copenhagen. Take the high-speed train from Copenhagen Central Station to Malmo Central Station.The trip takes 30 minutes. http://www.malmo.com.

To Odense. Birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. Take a full day to visit the city, the author's childhood home and the excellent museum of

his life. Although Andersen is the main draw there, Odense was also the home of Danish composer Carl Nielsen. There is a museumdevoted to his life and work, and his childhood home is located just outside the city. A fine place for contemporary art lovers is Brandts,which houses museums of art, photography and graphic design in a former factory building. Intercity and regional trains run frequentlybetween Copenhagen Central Station and Odense. The trip takes about 90 minutes. http://www.visitodense.com.

To Frederiksborg Slot. Located in Hillerod, 20 mi/30 km northwest of Copenhagen (half-day excursion). This magnificent Renaissance

castle is an impressively large group of buildings situated on three small islands in Castle Lake. Of equal, if not greater, importance is theMuseum of National History, housed in the Frederiksborg Slot castle. The 66-room museum boasts a considerable collection of historicalpaintings and portraits, applied art and furniture. English-language audio guides are available for a small fee. Open April-October 10 am-5pm; November-March 11 am-3 pm. 75 DKK adults, 60 DKK students and seniors age 60 and older, 20 DKK children ages 6-15. From mosttrain stations in Copenhagen, take the S-train marked E to Hillerod 30 minutes to the last stop. Then take local Bus 301 or 302 or walk 10minutes to the castle. Phone 4826-0439. http://www.dnm.dk/UK/Forside.htm.

To Dragor. This picturesque fishing village became a prosperous trading port in the 17th century, thanks to an influx of Dutch immigrants. It

is only 30 minutes by bus from Town Hall Square (a half-day excursion). The town center, with its quaint, narrow streets, is closed to traffic.Lining the streets are some 300 one-story brick houses with thatched roofs and curious displays of objects in their curved-glass windows.The town also has charming cafes and restaurants and a local museum. Take Bus 30 from Radhuspladsen. http://www.dragoer.dk.

To Helsingor. Visit the castle made famous in Shakespeare's Hamlet (28 mi/46 km away, a half-day excursion). Though it's known as

Elsinore in the play, the real name of the castle at Helsingor is Kronborg. Just because no one named Shakespeare or Hamlet ever visitedthe castle should not deter you from doing so. Built as a fortress in the 1500s, it majestically guards the entrance to Oresund strait, whichseparates Sweden and Denmark. Visit the royal quarters and then go underground to see the rooms where soldiers ate, slept and storedtheir weapons. Open daily year-round 11 am-4 pm (10 am-5:30 pm June-August); closed Monday November-March. Admission 75 DKKadults, 30 DKK children ages 6-17, 30 DKK children ages 6-14. Take a regional train from the Central Railroad Station 45 minutes to thelast stop, Helsingor, and then a local bus or a pleasant 10-minute walk along the harbor. Phone 4921-3078. http://www.ses.dk.

A traditional Copenhagen dinner might feature meatballs (frikadeller), hamburger smothered in onions (hakkebof med log) or pork roastwith red cabbage. Most dinners end with coffee or tea, sometimes complemented with pastries purveyed by konditori (a combinationbakery, confectioner's shop and tearoom).

Danish cuisine as a whole has changed radically over the past 20 years, blending southern European influences with the richness ofDenmark's natural produce, such as its excellent dairy products, its high-quality organic fruit and vegetables and, of course, the rawingredients from its surrounding waters.

In addition, the restaurant culture has expanded since the second half of the 1990s. Dining out has become a usual treat for the averageDane. Several new and interesting restaurants seem to crop up each year, emphasizing either fine cuisine or a special atmosphere (andsometimes both). The city also boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city in Scandinavia.

Locals don't often go out for breakfast, except for weekend brunches, usually served 9 am-1 pm. Lunch is usually between noon and 1 pm,and dinner is typically between 6 and 8 pm.

A great idea is a program that arranges dinners in typical local homes with a Danish family. You will learn a lot about Danish culture aroundthe family dinner table. Contact Meet the Danes (http://www.meetthedanes.dk) and Dine with the Danes (http://www.dinewiththedanes.dk).

Expect to pay within these guidelines, based on the cost of a dinner for one, not including drinks, tax or tip: $ = less than 150 DKK; $$ = 150DKK-300 DKK; $$$ = 301 DKK-500 DKK; $$$$ = more than 500 DKK.

Security

Etiquette

Some people maintain that Denmark has a national philosophy called hygge. There is no direct translation in any other language, but themost accurate synonyms would be comfortable, cheerful or friendly. In daily life, hygge refers to an easygoing and down-to-earth attitude.Danes have learned to blend this way of life into their efficient work practices. They are punctual and trusting, and verbal agreements andcommitments are taken seriously. These qualities help make Denmark a relatively easy place to conduct business.

Appointments—It is seldom necessary to have a local intermediary to schedule meetings and conduct business. Arrange meetings well inadvance of your visit—usually several weeks before your arrival. Being on time is crucial in both business and social settings. If you aredelayed by even a few minutes, call ahead to notify your host.

Personal Introductions—A firm handshake is the standard form of greeting. By tradition, a man should wait for a woman to extend herhand, but few Danish men follow this tradition. Hugging and kissing on the cheek are common alternate forms of greeting among friends, butvisitors should not initiate these forms of greeting with a Dane. Visitors should stand up when they are introduced.

Because English is spoken by almost everyone, it's acceptable to refer to a person with standard English titles (Mr., Ms.), unless they have aprofessional title. Use the appropriate title and last name until otherwise instructed. At most Danish companies, however, titles andsurnames are rarely used in everyday conversation, so most hosts will very quickly instruct visitors to use their first names. Business cardsare widely used and are often distributed at the beginning or end of a meeting. Business cards do not need to be translated into Danish.

Negotiating—Most business negotiations are conducted in offices, rarely in restaurants or private homes. Negotiations will often start with

Page 35 of 48

Page 36: Copenhagen, Denmark Overvie€¦ · Copenhagen, Denmark Overview Introduction Copenhagen, Denmark, seemingly has numerous distinct images, each accurately capturing a facet of the

small talk, but Danes are generally direct and efficient; they tend to move to the topic of business in short order without a great deal ofrelationship building. Your hosts may tend to be reserved at first, but business meetings are generally informal and friendly—familiarity islikely to develop quickly. Generally, visitors should be careful not to oversell their own competencies and products, as modest Danes couldeasily interpret this as bragging.

Business Entertaining—Business breakfasts are unlikely; business lunches and dinners are more common. Business lunches are mostlikely to occur around noon and to last an hour or two, and business dinners are most likely to begin around 7 pm and may last as long asfour hours. Business-related meals usually take place in a restaurant but can on occasion be held in a private home. In such cases,conversation is seldom strictly related to business. Invitations to a private home are a sign of personal trust.

It is appropriate to eat everything served to you at a meal. If visitors don't like the taste of something, however, they should refrain from eatingit. Food is seldom eaten with the hands. The exception to this rule is poultry, which by Danish tradition is eaten without utensils. At the end ofa meal, leave your cutlery on your plate. Place the knife and fork next to each other with the fork turned upside down to indicate that you havecompleted the meal.

Danes often drink wine or beer with their meals and expect their guests or hosts to join them. If visitors cannot drink—for religious or medicalreasons, for example—they should explain why. Toasts during meals are common. Danes usually take their time in delivering the remarksthat precede the drink, although toasts often tend to be somewhat shorter during business events than during social occasions. Visitors maymake toasts of their own but should wait until their hosts have done so. A toast is concluded by the Danish word skal (pronounced skoal),and it is customary to make eye contact with those at your table before you drink.

If you are invited to a restaurant for a meal, do not offer to pay the bill. It is considered polite, however, to offer to buy a drink or coffee at asubsequent location. If you host the gathering, be aware that a service charge is always included in the bill. An additional tip is not expectedby restaurant staff, although it's always appreciated. A gratuity of 5% of the bill is sufficient.

Body Language—Danes are often reserved about their private space. When engaged in conversation, you should generally maintain acomfortable distance (about an arm's length or a little more). Avoid touching someone on the arm or shoulder while talking, though visitorsmay sometimes receive a friendly pat on the back or a similar gesture after a successful meeting. This is a rare occurrence that should betaken as a sign of personal trust. In general, it's best to maintain a relaxed and open stance with hands at your side, and avoid crossing yourarms.

Gift Giving—The bestowing of gifts is not expected in a business context. If visitors are invited to a private home, however, it is consideredpolite to take a gift. Appropriate gifts include wine, chocolate and flowers (but not red roses, which are associated with romance andconsidered inappropriate for other contexts). There is no special etiquette regarding thank-you notes, but it is always a good idea either tocall a business associate after a meeting or to send a greeting by e-mail.

Conversation—Danes often maintain a relatively low volume of speech—visitors should do likewise. Danes generally enjoy the typicalsmall-talk subjects, such as the weather or sports, and will discuss domestic and international politics freely. They are also fond of talkingabout their country, so visitors may share their general impressions of Danish society and culture or may ask specific questions aboutnational issues. Many Danes have a basic familiarity with English slang, but visitors should avoid using slang unless they are absolutelycertain that their hosts will understand.

Personal Safety

Copenhagen is a very safe city. The only concerns for tourists should be theft by pickpockets and car break-ins, especially in the main trainstations and the area surrounding Istedgade behind the Central Railroad Station, as well as Norrebro. It is considered safe to walk alone,and the bus, S-train and metro system are safe, although women should take special precautions at night.

In any emergency, dial 112.

For more information, contact your country's travel-advisory agency.

Health

No vaccinations are necessary to enter Denmark. Tap water is safe to drink, and food preparation standards are on par with the rest ofwestern Europe. Copenhagen is one of the cleanest cities you could hope to visit.

Smoking is not permitted in any indoor public areas. An exception to this is when a specially designated smokers' room has been set up in

Disabled Advisory

Denmark's provision for the handicapped is good. Many of the older buildings and museums do not have wheelchair facilities, but newerones, such as the museum in King Christian VIII's Palace, do. Most city buses have hydraulic systems that facilitate entry for the elderly or

handicapped, and you can specifically request one of these buses. With an assistant, a person using a wheelchair can readily travel by trainbecause most of the outlying areas and all stations in the city have elevators.

Facts

Dos & Don'ts

Do watch out for bicycles. On most main thoroughfares, bike lanes are clearly marked and bicyclists expect you to stay out of their way.

Do stop to see the newlyweds taking wedding photos on the steps of the Radhus. Civil marriage ceremonies take place there during theweek.

Don't be surprised to see same-sex couples out and about in the city. Same-sex unions have been legal in Denmark since 1989, and same-sex couples also may legally adopt children.

Do take the kids. Copenhagen is a family-friendly city and you'll encounter children everywhere.

Don't litter. Denmark was "green" long before it was fashionable. Recycling, organic farming, energy conservation and alternative energy—especially wind power—have long been integral parts of daily life in Denmark.

Do see the Christmas show (juletid) at Tivoli if your trip is in the winter—it's a riot of lights with lots of stalls selling Christmas decorationsand special glogg.

Time Zone: 1 hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (+1 GMT). Daylight Saving Time is observed from the last Sunday of March to the last

Sunday of October.

Voltage Requirements: 220 volts. 50 Hz.

Telephone Codes: 45, country code; no city code needed;

Money

Currency Exchange

The Danish currency is the krone (DKK). The Danes rejected adoption of the euro in a nationwide referendum in 2000, and the krone is notlikely to be replaced by the euro for some time. Many stores also accept other currencies (especially the U.S. dollar, the euro and theSwedish krone) but always at a poor exchange rate.

ATMs are located at the airport and throughout the city, usually outside banks. ATMs give the best rates; banks and hotels give the poorest.Forex exchanges in the city center give a decent exchange and don't charge a fee.

Taxes

All goods and services are subject to a 25% value-added tax (VAT), but you may receive a refund of 19% of your purchase price if youpurchase more than 300 DKK worth of goods at the same store in the same day and if you are not a citizen of a country in the EuropeanUnion. Ask the seller for proper documentation (a receipt is not enough). Many cash registers will print this tax-free shopping documentationautomatically. If you choose to carry the item in your luggage, you can obtain a refund at the airport by showing the documentation. You canalso have the VAT refunded if you arrange for shipment home and have proper documentation drawn up at the time of purchase.http://www.global-blue.com.

Tipping

Tipping is not customary in Denmark because service charges are included in restaurant and hotel bills and in taxi fares. Danes rarely tip ataxi driver but often round up the bill at a restaurant.

Weather

Copenhagen's relatively cool climate is because of its proximity to the Baltic Sea. The sea's presence also makes it a rather windy place.Temperatures in summer range 68-77 F/20-25 C; in winter they range 23-32 F/-5 to 0 C. Although the heaviest rain comes in July andAugust, the best time to visit is late April-late September, when the weather is mildest.

What to Wear

Men and women in executive positions typically wear business suits, but a relaxed attitude toward dressing is more the norm. Danesthemselves lean toward subdued color choices and casual dress rather than high fashion. In general, they would prefer to own or wearsomething of excellent quality and innovative design rather than flaunt a flashy label.

Because the weather in this seaside city is unpredictable and can be cold and damp, dressing in layers is a good idea. Carrying a lightwrap, even in summer, is recommended, and an umbrella and raincoat are often useful. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, sincevisitors will encounter many cobblestoned streets and many steps to climb.

Telephone

Local telephone numbers have eight digits and no area codes. To dial from abroad, the international code is +45.

Pay phones are readily available in many different locations across Copenhagen. If you intend to make a number of calls, consider buying aphone card (telekort), which can be used for both local and international calls—and they're easier than using coins. "Cardphones" are foundin all public places, usually alongside coin-operated phones. Phone cards may be purchased at kiosks, post offices and at mostsupermarkets across the city for 30 DKK, 50 DKK or 100 DKK. If you don't have a card and want to make an international call, use DKK 5-20 coins.

GSM-compatible cellular phones should receive service throughout the city. TDC Mobil (http://www.tdc.dk) and Telia (http://www.telia.dk)offer prepaid cards.

For national directory assistance, dial 118; for international assistance, dial 113.

Internet Access

Most Danes have Internet access at home, and Internet cafes are therefore few and far between. However, almost all hotels offer Internetaccess to guests at reasonable rates, and there is Wi-Fi at an increasing number of cafes and coffeehouses (including Baresso, a Danishchain of coffeehouses, with several locations in Copenhagen, including Town Hall Square and at the airport).

Most hotels will have Wi-Fi, although some may charge for the privilege. Copenhagen Visitor Centre on Vesterbrogade 4A, just across fromTivoli Gardens, opened a social media lounge in November 2013. It's equipped with stylish Danish furniture and has free Wi-Fi and lots ofsockets for recharging your laptop, tablet or phone. It encourages visitors to stop by and post about their trip.

Wi-Fi hotspots, by their very nature, are fluid. To find an access point close to you, visit http://www.wificafespots.com/wifi/city/DK--Copenhagen.

Public libraries

You can check your e-mail and surf the Web for free at public libraries, including the Royal Library (The Black Diamond). Copenhagen,Denmark.

Mail & Package Services

Post Office

The only English-language newspaper is The Copenhagen Post (http://www.cphpost.dk). It's published every Friday and is available at mosttrain stations and international kiosks in the city center.

You'll be able to find such publications as the International Herald Tribune, USA Today and The Financial Times (as well as most of theother major British newspapers) at the larger kiosks, in the train stations and at the larger hotels.

Transportation

Most visitors arrive in Copenhagen by plane or train, though the city is also a stop on several ferry routes and road networks. Excellent,efficient bus and train networks along with a driverless metro system make getting around the city easy. Bike paths and pedestrian-only

streets, coupled with the city's compactness, make bicycling and walking pleasant alternatives to driving (about one-third of the populationcommutes by bicycle). Travel by car is sometimes difficult on narrow streets. Parking is limited and expensive.

Air

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is located on the island of Amager, just a 20-minute drive (5 mi/8 km) southeast of the city center. It's one of thebusiest airports in Europe, but there is little sense of crowding. The terminal hall is an architectural pleasure and allows for quick access tothe train station located below. The passenger area has one of the continent's most luxurious and modern shopping-and-services arcades.A large, central security area for departing passengers provides more than adequate screening points. And the tax-free shopping area iscapacious. There are now free smartphone apps for iPhone, Android and Nokia phones. The app is available in English and coversdepartures and arrivals, parking, security checklist and maps with the location of facilities such as shops and restaurants. Phone 3231-3231. http://www.cph.dk.

Connecting Transportation

Best way:

The train that runs between the airport and the Central Railroad Station cuts the connecting time to 15 minutes. Tickets are available fromthe railway station in Terminal 3 and from ticket machines in the same area. Escalators take arriving passengers to the railway platformbeneath Terminal 3. Trains depart every 20 minutes from the airport (5 am-midnight) and from downtown's Central Railroad Station. A singleticket for three zones costs 36 DKK. For additional train schedule and fare information, visit http://www.dsb.dk.

Other options:

You can also take the M2 metro, a 14-minute ride, from the city center to the airport, (Lufthaven station). A single ticket for three zones costs36 DKK. For additional metro schedule and fare information, visit http://intl.m.dk.

Local buses run to the center of town but take much longer than train or metro and the cost is the same. For information on buses from theairport to Copenhagen and other locations, see http://www.cph.dk/en/parking-transport/Bus-train-and-metro.

Taxi stands are located outside the terminal's main arrivals area. Cost to the city center runs about 250 DKK-350 DKK including VAT, ormore, depending on the time of day.

Trains also connect Copenhagen Airport to Malmo, Sweden. If you are traveling to Malmo and can avoid driving, do so. Train fare runs aboutone-quarter of the toll price for cars crossing the Oresund Fixed Link Bridge to Sweden.

Bus

Intercity trains constitute the most important and prevalent transportation links throughout the country. If, for whatever reason, you need a bus,contact the private bus company Abildskou for information about buses to and from Arhus (http://www.abildskou.dk), or contact Thinggaard,another private bus company, about buses to and from Aalborg (http://www.thinggaard.dk).

Bus lines connecting Denmark with Sweden are at the airport and by the Central Railroad Station in the city center.

Car

Driving is unnecessary if you're visiting just Copenhagen. But if you're renting a car to do some traveling around, you should know somebasic rules.

Cars are driven on the right. The speed limit on highways is 80 mph/130 kph, and is 30-50 mph/50-80 kph in cities. Passing should becarefully negotiated on the left; weaving back and forth between lanes is prohibited. Pedestrians and cyclists are given priority, so yield tocyclists on the bicycle paths between the sidewalk and the road. By law, vehicles must be driven with headlights on, day and night, and seatbelts must be worn. Heavy fines (upward of 510 DKK) are levied for parking overtime (use the small clock in the corner of the front

windshield to note the meter's starting time).

Penalties for driving with an illegally high alcohol level are severe, and the amount of alcohol in your blood to be considered illegal has beenlowered to 0.05%; it's best to take a taxi or public transportation home after even one drink. Also be aware of the fact that it is illegal inDenmark to talk on a cellular phone while you drive.

The Oresund Fixed Link Bridge, a 9-mi/14-km bridge linking Denmark to Malmo, Sweden, cuts travel time drastically, but it costs anexorbitant 310 DKK each way. If you're going that way, save money and take the train.

The legal driving age is 18, but you must be at least 21 to rent a car in Denmark.

Ferry

Public Transportation

Bus, Metro and S-Trains

Greater Copenhagen is traversed by a system of HT buses (usually yellow), metro (subway) trains, S-trains (or S-tog) and harbor ferries,which share the same ticket system. They offer frequent and punctual service. The main terminal for buses is at Radhuspladsen. S-trains areused mainly by suburban commuters and are of limited use for tourists unless you're visiting outlying areas such as Dyrehaven andFrederiksborg Castle. The 24-hour metro only provides limited service from Norreport Station through Kongens Nytorv to Amager and othersuburbs (but an extension now offers service to the airport). Harbor ferries traverse the central part of the harbor with stops at the RoyalLibrary, Nyhavn, the Opera House and others.Purchase tickets from ticket offices or vending machines in train stations or from a mobile phone. The City Pass, available for either 24hours or 72 hours, is another alternative for unlimited travel within zones 1-4 during the time period specified. A 24-hour pass costs 75 DKK;a 72-hour pass costs 190 DKK.

At the beginning of your journey, you must validate the ticket in the machine at the front of the bus or in the yellow time clocks on the trainstation platforms. A single adult two-zone ticket costs 24 DKK and allows you to travel through all of central Copenhagen for one hour withunlimited transfers on the bus, metro or S-train. For information about all metro services, phone 3248-2800. http://www.m.dk.

Tourists may also buy the Copenhagen Card (CPHCARD), good for 24, 72 or 120 hours of unlimited transportation and free admission to70 sights, including Tivoli Gardens and the zoo. You can buy it in hotels and travel agencies, at the tourist office or online a minimum of 10days before you intend to use it. It's a handy option, but a wise buy only if you visit four or more sights in a day. 24-hour cards are 299 DKKadults (older than age 15); 72-hour cards are 529 DKK adults; 120-hour cards are 749 DKK adults. http://www.copenhagencard.com/?currency=dkk.

Some ships dock at the Free Port Cruise Terminal, nearNordhavn station, which is five minutes by train to the city center.

Taxi

Taking taxis is easy in Copenhagen, but they are expensive. You can hail taxis in the street or at taxi stands; credit cards are welcomed inmost taxis; and most cabbies understand English and will give receipts, if needed. Sharing rides can help (up to four passengers may doso). Taxi stands are found throughout the city, and you can almost always find cabs waiting near S-train stations. Available cabs have theirTAXI signs illuminated.
