Tipping: In Denmark, tipping isn't common - all service bills that you receive already include gratuity, and it is unnecessary (but always appreciated) to add a tip in Denmark

For the meteorologist

Weather in Denmark varies with the seasons. Denmark has a temperate climate and can be humid and overcast. The winters are usually mild and windy, and the summers can be cool or sunny. The weather in Denmark is a popular subject for discussion as it often changes from day to day and even during the day.

For the Benjamin Franklin

Electrical appliances run at 220v in Denmark. Electrical outlets in Denmark use a two-prong plug typical for continental Europe. Most laptops will automatically work with 220-230 volts (check the back of your laptop for power input markings.)

For Cary Grant

The conference is a non-smoking event and smoking is prohibited throughout the venue. However, for those who do not want to walk outside for smoking, there are a smokers’ lounge and a smokers’ terrace in the building.

For the one who wears a seat belt
