Climate

July and August are normally the warmest months of the year with an average temperature of 20 degrees Celcius and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. February is generally the coldest with an average of two degrees Celcius and 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, snow is not something we can guarantee each winter.

Design, fashion and solid craftmanship runs in the Danish DNA.

There’s really something for every budget and style in the city centre and finding a nice lunch in between your shopping spree is easy-peasy.

Tipping

In Copenhagen, tipping is not a tradition. If you receive extraordinary good service, you are welcome to reward it with a tip, but it is not expected. Service is normally included in the bill at restaurants, hotels and taxis. Thus it is optional whether to round up the bill or not.
