Tourist Entertainment Guide For Denmark

Denmark offers lots of scope for eating well, but if you’re on a limited budget, you can usually manage pretty well on simple, no-frills food too, widely available at cafés and bodegas (bars which serve basic meals in addition to drinks). Most restaurants and cafés offer à la carte menus as well as fixed three course meals, besides the ubiquitous smørrebrød, which can be a meal in itself. If you’re on the move, most bus and train stations have small fast-food stalls, locally called `pølosevogn’ which sell potato chips, sausages and sandwiches- all quite economical. If your budget’s really shoestring, head for one of the supermarkets- all stock basic food and drink, and are invariably quite affordable.

If you get tired of Danish food, the larger cities have a fairly wide range of international cuisines- including Oriental and continental- to offer. Pizzerias and burger joints, as in much of Europe, are virtually everywhere.

As far as entertainment is concerned, Denmark has plenty to offer- all the large cities and many smaller towns too, have lots of bars, nightclubs and discos, besides theatre, ballet and cinema venues. Nightlife is, on the whole, pretty lively, and the country also has its fair share of amusement parks - the 10 acre Legoland is easily one of Denmark’s most famous attractions, as is the famous Tivoli, so if you’ve children along, you know where to take them.
