The Danish are very friendly, open and helpful - I have been to Copenhagen twice and I drove through Denmark with my boyfriend once and every time we need directions or any other helpful tips, we were treated hospitably, despite our Romanian/American accents :)

Their beliefs and cultures are similar to many Western Europeans - they enjoy beer, ale and pilsner, as most Germanic cultures tend to, and almost all of their meals are accompanied by breads and sweets :) It is traditionally a Christian nation, majority Lutheran, though I know most educated and young Danes tend to associate themselves in a "spiritual" sense, rather than "religious." They like the discos and bars, and they hang out in large groups - they are very friendly in bars, when my boyfriend and I went out to a bar close to our hostel, we made 20 friends in one night and continued to go out with them for the remainder of our stay. And, then when we returned the year later, they were still our friends.

It's just a lovely country, with lovely people - the English language is common there, and most young, city residents can speak it rather well. They are very politically correct, accepting, open-minded and happy. I think that you'll like it a lot.

As for marijuana, you're thinking of Amsterdam, where it is legal to carry up to 3 grams on you - in Denmark, the same rules do not apply. It is not legal to smoke or possess marijuana.

Answer 2

They are reserved, polite, and hospitable. The stereotype is that they are all tall and blond, like other Scandinavians, and that is somewhat true. I only visited Copenhagen and surrounding areas, but it was charming, clean, pretty, and friendly. That is my experience with Danish people. I don't know if pot is legal there.

Answer 3

Danish people are a bit reserved, rough.. It takes longer to get to know some of them, but it all depends on how you carry yourself towards them.

Drugs are illegal, so if you are caught, you could end up jailed and deported on spot.

Answer 4

They eat Danish for breakfast.
