Due to the winding fjords of Jutland and the many islands, Denmark has a costal line of 7.000 km. You will never be more than 60 km from the ocean - and a the nearest beach.
Denmark is part of the European Community which means most Europeans may travel freely. But to remember to bring your passport. This Does not go for people of the Nordic Countries which may enter without passport. People from outside of Europe may need a visa.
Do not worry. Use fingerlanguages. Danes are used to being approached by foreigners, and will probably appologize for not speaking *your* language.
This ritual always starts out with a sclice of ryebread with butter, hering (1-2 of several kinds) with topping. You eat this with knife and fork and most important of all order an icecold snaps to go along with it.
After this initial starter you may try all sliced meats or fish on top of your ryebread. It must of course be neatly arranged with lettuce, cucumber (in vinegar) slices or other toppings. Many inns carry some straight forward - and very typical Danish Menus. Look for the DanMenu-sign. Currency & Credit Cards In Denmark we use "Kroner" and "Oere". 1 US Dollars equals app. 6.00 DKR. 1 German Mark equals 3.90 DKR. 1 French Franc equals 1.15 DKR. In many restaurants Visa, Eurocard and Mastercard credit cards are accepted.
Many kiosks or gas stations are open untill 21.00 or 22.00. Here you will find a large selection of candy and usaully a few basic household items like bread, sauusage, cheese, etc.
In the center or on the outskirts of major towns you may find a large departement store (OBS, Bilka or Magasin) and they will usually have longer opening hours, untill 19.00 or 20.00.
The weather is usually best in June, July and the first half of August. April and September have more rain and are a bit chilly.
