Copenhagen Essentials
Morten E. Wulff Jul 30th
- Don’t be surprised if your appointment arrives on a bike - try to do the same.
- The Danes are a straightforward bunch, they call a spade a spade.
- Time on your hands at lunch? Grab a towel and go for a swim in the Øresund with the rest of the city.
- Flying visit? Kastrup airport has excellent meeting facilities.
- Our favourite Danish word is hygge. There’s no direct translation but the closest is “cosy”. Find your hygge place in CPH.
- Forget taxis, the only way to explore Copenhagen is by bike.
- For a real slice of Danish culture, we recommend you visit Christiana during the day.
- Like Swedes and Norwegians, the Danish are very practical and like their Flemish neighbours they are refreshingly open-minded.
- Forget air kissing, a firm handshake will suffice for him or for her.
- Ida Davidsen serves the best open sandwiches in Scandinavia, and if you’re lucky, Ida herself will stop for a chat. Order the “Finn Ziegler”.
