| There
are over 350 km of safe cycle tracks in and around
Copenhagen. |
| Copenhageners
have quite a noble culture and behaviour on their
cycles. |
|
360 km of safe cycle tracks
There are about 5,2 million
bicycles in Denmark - and over 700,000
in Copenhagen - as nearly every
Dane owns a cycle. Almost 400,000
Copenhageners use their beloved
cycles to commute back and forth to work
every day - and in the warmer periods -
especially in the summertime - the amount
of cyclists in Copenhagen increase on the
360 km of safe cycle tracks
that are established around the city. There
are no free bicycles available
in Copenhagen for tourists.
Copenhagen has a quite noble cycle
culture
Copenhagen
is a very biker friendly city and has been
it for almost 100 years
with a quite noble cycle culture
- and here are some basic rules
- when cycling in the city: Keep right
and always use the bicycle tracks - when
available. Use hand signals
- when turning right or left or stopping.
In Denmark there are no right turns
on red. Only one person is allowed
on a cycle - and riding side by side is
permitted. Stop at bus stops - and allow
passengers to enter or departure the bus.
Many cyclists use crash helmets - but it
is not mandatory by law.

Almost
every Dane speaks English and many speak
German too. |
|
Language
As
a privileged few - and among billions
of people around the whole wide world
- there are only 5.6 million
Danes that speak and understand Danish.
In the Scandinavian countries Danish is
understandable between the Swedes
and Norwegians - and
vice versa. Nearly everyone in Copenhagen
and Denmark speaks English -
as Danish pupils today learn English at
school from the 1. Grade.
And from the 2. Grade
- German.

Precautions
in Copenhagen & Denmark |

Pocket
Thieves and
Con Men
Like in any other Capital
City or Metropolitan areas
- Copenhagen has it’s
problems with professional
pickpockets
and thieves
that mainly target Visitors
and Tourist
and are spread all over
the city. Even though Copenhagen
records a low crime rate
- and is a quite safe place
to be and stay - pocket
thieves operate in crowded
tourist areas - where the
risk of being a victim for
these sneaky criminals is
higher on the Pedestrian
Street “Strøget”
and the area around
the Central Station
as well as Cinemas
- Cafés
- Restaurants and
Public Transportation
etc.. So be careful with
your personal belongings
and always use your common
sense. If any attempt
- you should immediately
contact the police.
Warning!
- Warning! - Warning!
Many trick thieves
and con men
will enter into the city
for the tourist
season - and are
operating with their criminal
activities especially
at the Pedestrian Street
“Strøget”.
Take especially good care
of your bag - wallet
- cell-phone - iPhone -
camera - jewellery - wrist
watch - and anything
else of value
- and never carry more than
DKK 100-200 with
you - as there are ATMs
everywhere.
Danish
Border Control
Even though Denmark has
an effective and
strict border control
at all Danish borders introduced
and establish since 2016
- then many sneaky
criminals manage
to force the Danish border
and enter into Denmark
to conduct their criminal
activities - which is an
Eldorado and Gold Mine for
con men - thieves - bandits
- burglars - crooks - who
have found their way illegally
into one of the prime welfare
states in the world. |

Personal income
Tax - and a High Standard of Living
In brief -
personal income taxes in Denmark
are among the highest in the world.
To enjoy the high standard of living
- plus one of the world’s
most well functioning welfare
systems - the Danes pay
50-60% tax of their
total income. Married couples are
taxed separately. The Danish taxation
system is progressive and very complicated
to administrate - even by the Danes
- and also by the Danish “Skat”
authorities. (Danish -
IRS - Internal Revenue Service)
Danish income tax consists of national
tax - municipal tax - a high healthcare
contribution - and tax to the Evangelical
Lutheran State Church of Denmark.
Due to a "tax ceiling"
you will never pay more than 60%
of your total income on income tax
in Denmark -
but the Danes have nevertheless
many other tax burdens to pay -
as they still have to pay the 25%
VAT on all goods - plus
contribute with a lot of other government
fees and taxes as a supplement to
the Danish treasury account.

the Danes - the Evangelical Lutheran Church
became the National Church of
Denmark

(The Peoples Church) - and since
contributed to shape the Danes cultural background
- heritage - and national identity.
Historical Churches
Many historical churches are placed in Copenhagen
- and open for tourists 7 days

in the church service and take part of the Holy
Communion. Some churches date back to 1450
