Denmark
Peak – summer time: June – August. Warm and sunny. Due to Denmark’s location in the north – you will get longer days during these months.
Shoulder: May & September. These months offer decent weather to be outside. Not as hot or cold.
Off-Peak: October – December. The weather starts to get colder during these months and you may experience snow. However, it can be a great time to see the country painted by snow and check out Christmas markets.
Off-Peak: January – April. These are colder months. Less crowds.
Credit cards are widely accepted throughout Denmark. ATMs are very accessible if needed.
Network Reality: Our international roaming plan through our US carrier worked well everywhere.
Power & Plugs: Denmark uses Type K (the “smiley” plug). Standard European Type C and F plugs usually fit, but the grounding pin is unique to Denmark. The voltage is 230V.
My most uncalibrated moment was renting a boat in Copenhagen and spending the day cruising the canals. It’s one thing to see the water from the sidewalk, but it’s a completely different experience to be in it. Seeing the city from the waterline made me realize just how much of the culture and the economy has been built around these waterways. They are a vital part of how the city functions and how the people live. Feeling the history of the old merchant ports while seeing people swim in the harbor today was the ultimate “uncalibrated” look at the Danish way of life.
