Virtue is a modesty

Before beginning I need to add this. I was corrected earlier by someone - the letters Æ, Ø and Å is also found in the norwegian and swedish alphabet. I'm sorry to all. (:

Okay - now! First thing travellers will notice is that Danes often not brag. This can be seen more loosely amongst young people - however - if they will admit it or not, bragging is still a bad thing and many will feel offended if you start bragging. Therefore - Danes naturally have a hard time telling you what they're good at and they will often tell you that your compliment isn't true and that everybody could do what they do. Of course you will meet people who brag, people who don't have a hard time telling you what they're good at and people who is absorbing every compliment you give them. I believe - the younger people, the more bragging will be seen. However - parents raise their kids not to become selfcentered and not to brag. So - many Danes will be really modest with you.

As a follower to modesty comes therefore topics which isn't discussed with other than the nearest family. Money is one of them. Ask a Dane how much she/he affords and you will not be popular as most Danes prefer to keep their economy private. Sex is a difficult topic to discuss in Denmark. (Even I find it rather complicated!) Sex is normally a topic many people don't care talking about as long as it's kept 'generally'. In fact - many sexual undertones will be found in every skit-show and other TV-shows. For young people clubbing - it is not rare to see people pick up a one-night-stand and I believe 'no sex before marriage' is extinct. But if you ask to which sex-positions one and his wife is doing home in the bedroom, they will probably be quite offended. So - keep sex 'generally' then there's no problem in talking about it at all. If you're a young traveller and is clubbing, don't be surprised if someone hits on you. Sometimes people shout things after girls they find hot on the streets. Don't care about that either and just ignore unless they seem to be following you. Then pretend you know someone close by. My experience is that those things happen really rarely - but you never know and therefore I just said it.

Denmark is a really safe country to be in. I think the worst criminal events is the rocker gangs fighting against each other. Being a normal person you're hardly never to be involved in that. Pickpocketing happens though, especially at train stations but if you're careful nothing will happen. You will often see Danes who don't seem extremely careful - nothing happens to them. So, don't be scared of crimes in Denmark, it is rare - and I believe being a traveller - it is even more rare. You have to look as if you have lots and lots of money to be a real victim. And even so - it's still rare. Just take care of yourself and you got nothing to fear in Denmark. ^^ Not in Copenhagen nor in any other danish city.
