One of the most popular ways to blend in with the locals is to ride a bike. Since Denmark is predominantly flat terrain, most locals prefer traversing the city by using a bicycle. There are road rules that you should be aware of, but in general, you can get used to it once you’ve driven your bike for several days on the road. The bike is used when a local is bound for work, leisure, or just about anywhere. You won’t even find it hard to park your bicycle somewhere because there are designated places to leave bikes at most places in the city. So go on, ride your bike and blend in!

If you want to fulfill a local dining experience, then you should never miss trying smørrebrød. This dish can be very difficult to pronounce but you will be surprised how delicious it can be. Smørrebrød is an open-faced sandwich topped with different types of meat. You can have roast beef, smoked salmon, or simply potatoes and bacon on top of your bread and it already is a local’s lunch!

The winter in Denmark can be extremely cold, so prepare to do layering of clothes. It is also suggested that you bring more than a flip flop when traveling in this country. There are just so many places to visit that you may want to put on your sneakers, not to mention that the weather may not be suitable for just mere slippers. One event you can participate in is the once-a-year Kulturnatten, or their so-called Culture Night. An inexpensive ticket may be purchased to get access to more or less 600 cultural sites around Denmark, which will include those places that aren’t normally accessible to tourists.

As you blend in with the Danes, who knows, maybe you’ll be able to bring more ‘hygge’ in your life. ‘Hygge” is a Danish term that pertains to the quality of being cozy and being comfortably friendly, which eventually brings about a feeling of contentment.
