1. Denmark uses the Danish Kroner. The conversion is about 5.8 kroners to the dollar. An easy trick to remember is take the value in kroners, move the decimal over one, multiply by 2 and then subtract a few numbers, and that’s roughly the amount in dollars. So for example, 400 kroner would be around $75.

2. Taxis are very expensive, use the metro or bus system (they run 24/7). Or be Danish and bike.

3. Danish is a very weird language. Luckily, every Dane in Copenhagen speaks perfect English.

4. Don’t be alarmed to see a six-year old on the metro alone or baby carriages left outside grocery stores or shops, Denmark is very safe and everyone is very trusting of each other.

5. Be on time. Danish people are never late.

6. If you eat dinner with a Danish family at their home, expect to be there for 5-6 hours. Danish dinners last well through the night.

8. Soak it all in because you’ll cry like a baby when you leave.

9. You made a brilliant decision in choosing Copenhagen, enjoy your trip!
