There are many practical tips on how to conduct yourself in Denmark and what to expect in social situations. The effort you put into getting to know the Danes will be amply rewarded. Armed with this guide, you will be able to avoid some of the social and cultural pitfalls that foreign visitors are bound to encounter. And you will discover that, beneath their quiet northern reserve, the Danish people are friendly, fair-minded, civilized, and warm.
