Copenhagen

Practical Information

There are several information centres in Copenhagen. The Danish Tourist Board offer the usual tourist office fare, although Use It is a better alternative for budget travellers.

Copenhagen has several tourist publications including Copenhagen This Week and Use It News as well as numerous free listings papers in Danish which are available from bars and cafés.

Tipping is not customary except in upmarket hotels and restaurants. The prices are high enough already without having to follow the North American custom of bribing restaurant staff and taxi drivers for good service.
