Dinner is generally a more involved, hot meal taken around 6-7 in the evening. and More on Danish Food.

Denmark Essentials: Tipping

Service is included in hotel and restaurant bills and many guidebooks suggest that people seldom tip in Denmark--but a reader advises, "Although tipping is not strictly required in Denmark, it is certainly advisable, and would be expected in any half-decent restaurant in the country - provided the service had been OK. A 10-30 DKK tip would be normal. Tourists who are unaware of this will leave the country wondering why Danish waiters seemed to frown and grumble so much more than waiters in other places." Hotel porters and taxi drivers who help with your luggage expect around DKr5 (5 Danish kroner) per bag; you should also leave a couple of Kroner for an "attendent" at a public toilet.

Denmark Essentials: Transportation
