- Here’s our Essential 🇩🇰 COPENHAGEN Travel Guide 🇩🇰, giving you EVERYTHING you need to know to travel better for your own Danish adventure!
WE LOVED COPENHAGEN! From the Danish pastries that erm, aren't actually from Denmark. To the stunning Tivoli Gardens, The iconic Little Mermaid statue, and the colourful street of Nyhavn. Copenhagen is a mini-adventure for anyone who loves the land of Scandi, and the Hygge concept that us Brits can't get enough of!

Transcript:
Welcome to a rainy and windy Copenhagen!
I love it here, it’s hub of scandi art and culture. It’s the home of the fashionable hygge concept and was voted the most bike friendly city in Europe. It feels like home. That feeling where you can’t describe why… but the vibrancy of the people, and the coziness of culture…its just a place you won’t forget in a hurry!
Coming up we’re gonna help you get around the city, learn some of the basic lingo, try some Danish delicacies, and give you some useful tourist tips but first of all we’re starting at the airport
Copenhagen airport is the largest in Scandinavia. It’s clean, modern and super efficient. From here the best ways to get into town are to take the metro or a taxi.
Metro platforms are at terminal three and all trains go into town, so no need to worry about getting the wrong one. Ticket machines only accept cards or coins, not notes - so watch out for that.
Taxis are available outside arrivals, costing around £35 and it takes about 20 minutes to get into town.
Copenhagen is one of the most bike friendly cities in Europe. So, grab a bike from one of the many places you can rent them here, get in the cycle lane, and go and tour the city in one of the most authentic ways possible.
We found a rather fantastic app while in Copenhagen. Donkey Republic allows you to hire a bike right from your phone almost anywhere in the city. Each bike is unlocked with bluetooth, so just select your location, find your numbered bike and away you go.
Got a trip planned? Let us know about it and be in with the chance of winning great prizes! 😀 > bit.ly/2qWWM4R
I am from Denmark :D
Be aware to use a helmet while riding a bike, the police are pretty strict about cycling laws.
Andras Petersen yea😏
haha very great guide.. but just FYI be careful how u use the word Hygge because when u say u are doing Hygge with someone its kinda like saying that you are Yohooing with somebody.. like in slang terms haha. u should prob say that you had a Hyggelig time instead. as then there can be no confusion and there is no implying u had sex xD
@@ghoulofmetal The helmet thing is not quite right. Using helmet when riding bicycle is not required by law
A taxi from airport to city - anyone going from the airport, do NOT get a taxi, take the metro or train, the metro will take you to Norreport station, from there it is 2 stops to the city centre. This will save you maybe 300 kroner
As a dane, i don't know why i'm watching this
Jo du gør. Du sidder og wanker med, mens andre mennesker skamroser dit land.
😂
Cultural pride! Ållå!
😂 the power of TH-cam
Just got a reminder from Danish news; tourists on bikes are straight up dangerous. They don't know the rules, they stop suddenly, they wobble back and forth, they don't respect the other bikers on the lane who're going a wee bit faster than they are.
I'm not against tourists biking, in fact I think it's great, but please do take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the traffic rules.
I can cycle blindy and without my hands on the steeringwheel i Will survive because i'm a dutchy
I want to travel Denmark and married
You must hate me cause I am on a Nehola with a dog in front and huge trailer in the back hauling my piano to gigs and to play on the street.
Sigart I'm Danish i disagree
You are correct.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Just finishing up my visit to Copenhagen and absolutely loved it!!! After doing a bike tour and learning the rules from a local we used Donkey Republic (learned about here) and used it for the rest of our trip. Thanks for the recommendation!!!
You're totally welcome Dana, we're happy we could help! Glad you had an amazing time in Copenhagen 😁 when's the next trip?
You covered a lot of ground and I had trouble keeping up without stopping the video many times. But it so clearly showed all the places I'm wanting to visit while in Copenhagen this summer, with details on what to expect. Nice job!
This was one of the best tour guide vids i've seen on youtube! Cheers got me alot more prepped for Copenhagen in a couple week!
We're happy to help, Joel. :) What are you hoping to do in Copenhagen?
hygge - being cozy, having fun. There you have it..
Thanks for this video, one of the best I’ve seen! I’m going Copenhagen in October.. after seeing this video I can’t wait!!!
We're glad to hear it. 😎 What are you hoping to do while you're in Copenhagen?
Thanks you so much for this, we really enjoyed learning!
Yeehaw!! Thanks for spreading the bike-love, we are so glad you picked the Donkeys and that you found our app and system fantastic! We have Donkey bikes all over Europe (same app, same bikes, same system) so let us know if we can hook you up with bikes next time! Hooves up, Eszter
Hey guys, thanks for watching! Your bikes were great, so we were only too happy to recommend them :)
And yes we will!
Next time go for "Bycyklen". It's a much better alternative.
Back in the day, all you needed was 2 krona, put it in a slot to release the bike, cycle around for as long as you want, put the bike back anywhere in the city which has the same rack, and get your 2 krona back
GREAT VIDEO GUYS!!!
Hey George! If you liked that then check out this - th-cam.com/video/FkObuwgx0vU/w-d-xo.html
Copenhagen is awesome! :D
Thanks for sharing!
As a Swede, I really really loved this vlog!
We're so glad you enjoyed it Emelie! :D
I've recently paid two visits to Copenhagen in two weeks (so I've now been there eight times), it really is a fantastic city and I've made some incredible friends from there. I'm even toying with the idea of moving there if I can secure a job (I'm a forklift driver) and somewhere to live.
I love how you explain all these tourist attractions in denmark i live here longer time but i never knew about donkey apps for the bike wow this something new to mw. Thank u very much for sharing this wonderful places in copenhagen
Great video mate!
Cheers Gideon! Have you visited Copenhagen?
Recently visited this city. Loved this colourful , bicycle friendly beautiful city.
We absolutely loved Copenhagen too! What was your favourite thing to do there? 🇩🇰
Hey hey thank you for this fantastic piece of information I am thinking on visiting and is really excited 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Ahahah it's so funny to watch people from other countries visit our little Denmark. You show things that we really don't remember to appreciate, like just a nice hyggelig biking trip around the city:))
What a cool Vlog loved it
Thanks Sameer, have you watched our other videos?
Need to know to go in the summer!
How awesome was this video ❤️
Many thanks! Have you visited Copenhagen?
wow.. Fantastic vlog ever i seen. Love it friend
Great video! I was there a few years ago and i really enjoy it.
Thanks! What did you do while you were in Copenhagen?
I visited a few places but i didn't go to Tivoli and now i am regretting. I guess i need to go again soon. I wanted to get a donkey bike, but somehow i didn't manage to figure out how the app works. Your channel has something to do with the app Holiday extras?
I am from Long Island NY I may go next year thanks for your review😎👌
Thanks for the video showing how we could do it better and letting us know more about the city, it is definitely gonna help us about the whole trip upcoming. And also the comment on here helps a lot as well
We're glad we could help! You'll have to let us know what you get up to on your trip! What are you most looking forward to? 🇩🇰
Holiday Extras Travel Guides The culture and the food, since I am a foodie. lol😂
Aaaah i love this
Thanks, Emyritus! Have you visited Copenhagen?
Holiday Extras Travel Guides no i will in october :) cant wait
I want to be able to visit Denmark in the future, since I'm 25% Danish
We would definitely recommend!
I just returned from a holiday in København and like you, I loved it there for the same reason you mentioned at the end of your video, especially the people. What a glorious city. I am bound to return there. (I also loved Malmö, as it was such a quick train ride from Copenhagen.)
We're glad you had such a fantastic time Jeremy and happy to hear you'll be returning to this great city! Do you have any recommendations? 😊
You covered quite a bit already but I must add having the pork smørrebrød when talking about eats in Copenhagen. I had one with a pint of Denmark's Tuborg beer in one of the restaurants in Nyhavn. And of course, no holiday in Copenhagen is complete without doing some shopping in Stroget. I particularly liked going inside the Royal Copenhagen store to watch an artist hand-paint a porcelain plate.
Next stop for me in three weeks... Helsinki, which should complete my tour of Nordic countries. Any video or tips on traveling to Helsinki?
Dont bike without learning the basic skills and the rules of the traffic !
Fantastic video. I am looking at going to Copenhagen and so I found this video very interesting, both educational and entertaining. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of these.
I love the XE app!!!
good information! I'll stop by Copenhagen for 9 hours, hope I can get around the city as much as I can! excited!
In our experience the city is pretty compact, so you should be able to squeeze a few things in. :)
@@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides Can we just look around things by foot or we need to take bus or car?
Loved this city
Thanks for letting us know! ❤️What was your favourite thing to do?
Video so beautiful, relaxed and lively ... Thanks for sharing ... Greetings from Brazil - Rio de Janeiro! :-)
We're so glad you enjoyed it! Greetings from the UK. :)
I really don't understand why these travel guide videos - nor most Copenhagen official tourist guides, btw. - show visitors the only building we have that is truly unique: Rundetårn (The Round Tower). It's not very tall (41,5 m) but Copenhagen isn't very tall, so there's actually a magnificent view. But that's not why to go there! It's a combined church tower (though not bell tower) and observatory, and cause the very astronomy interested King Christian the Fourth, wanted to go comfortably to watch the stars, the way up is not stairs, but a spiral road than can be used with a horse cart. And it only costs DKK25. If your time is limited, drop the Little Mermaid, you'll find better sculptures all over the world (even all over Copenhagen), and read the adventure when you get home. The castles are like most other castles... Or take a guided boat tour around the harbour, where you'll see them all, and a lot of other stuff, from a charming angle. Prices from DKK 50.
I visited the Rundetårn in 2013, it is really great! Just 'climbing' the tower with the spiral road. One other notably place worth a visit is the citybeach with the in-harbour swimming pool at the east side of Københavns Havn, south of the Langebro.
And it’s the first building I was inside that has no stairs but just a Ramp
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will be there in a couple of months and plan to take your recommendations.
I am living currently in Denmark. And bec. I don't know how to bike so we I took trains and buses going to places and lots and lots of walking. Good thing I got a Danish friend who's so willing to tour me around the city. But it's winter right now so it's a little bit challenging going out to a cold weather since I came from a tropical country and not used to the weather. Can't wait for the spring. 😍😍😍
One of the things we loved about Copehagen is how easy it is to get around! Where's the best place you've discovered so far on your travels? 🇩🇰
Very nice video wanna visit Denmark u people always inspired me with ur work can't wait a video for Norway, Finland and sweden
Hey Jaffar! So glad you enjoyed it, well we LOVE the land of Scandi - there are no guides for these places anytime soon... but we do have some amazing locations that we know you'll enjoy :D
Holiday Extras Travel Guides well yes honestly I can't wait for De more videos to come obviously u guys got great locations to cover the way Abigail explains everything is just awesome I love DE language section DE most thanks for making such informative videos
A girl told me TAK in Copenhagen, now I know it's thanks!
I love there, in fact i miss there
We miss it too! What's your favourite thing about Copenhagen? 😍
I love Denmark.❤❤❤❤
I Loved Copenhagen. This city is wonderful. I was there in 2018, and I was in love with this city. I have several videos on my channel.
I like that she recommends apps!!
Apps are a travellers best friend! ;) What apps do you use while travelling?
Nice video
videos are very interesting and motivating. I wish to visit one of the attractive places in Denmark
Thanks so much! There are definitely many attractive places in Denmark, which is top of your list? 😍
Love her accent ;)
Btw ... When you take the public transport from the airport (metro, train, or buss) and is going to the city centre, then remember to get a 3-zone-ticket! Many tourist haven't looked into that, and get a nasty surprise, when the ticket inspectors fine them 750 DKK for having too few zones on their tickets!
That being said, they have now a tendency to be more lenient against tourist ... Because how the F should they know?!? ;)
And another btw: The ticket bought in the metro, will also work in the busses and trains (and vice versa) ... Just as long you have your zones! The tickets are timestamped when you purchase it and will last at LEAST 75 minutes (for a 2-zones-ticket (the minimum ticket) ) up till 2 hours 45 minutes (for the maximum 8-zones-ticket). If you need to go further, then you need a ticket for your destination (I.e. Aarhus, Odense, or anywhere, long-distance like that.).
As i remember i was lived in Copenhagen from 2007 to 2013 and now i live in Aarhus :p
Lucky you Natasja, we think it's wonderful!
Nice video 👍
Thanks! Have you visited Copenhagen?
Was in Copenhagen two weeks ago and it was great. Parts of the city are beautiful. Food is fantastic but like a lot of people have said it is VERY expensive. Well worth a visit tho!
It definitely helps to budget before you go. Any tips for anyone looking to visit? 😎
I loved the boat trips from Nyhavn harbour and the changing of the guard at Amalienborg palace is free and a must see!
Thank you for sharing! You're very gifted. I like to travel also:)I in recent weeks shared my first ever movie - My holiday diary in Queenstown. Eep!Would definitely cherish your suggestions on my video/editing and so I can also develop like you!
Such informative and Entertaining videos Guys! I found them through a mutual friend India! Look forward to what's coming! Makes me want to make Travel Vlogs again! 🏄🌟
Thanks Ben! You should, we'd watch em :p
Holiday Extras Travel Guides Cheers Guys! I have a few on there from Thailand and Tokyo if u scroll down! Planning a lil getaway in the New year so look out ;) Keep up the good work!
No way! We recently went to Tokyo - That's coming soon, and Thailand is on our list! Will go check them out, and we will! :D

Great city :)
We loved it! If you're after more from Denmark check out this - th-cam.com/video/FkObuwgx0vU/w-d-xo.html :D
Visited Copenhagen last week, very expensive place but beautiful
Went to Nyhavn, had lunch at Heering restaurant
1 course lunch cost me 300 Danish Kroner = 50 Canada Dollar
The quality of life is great, very safe environment
Sounds like you had an amazing time! Have you visited any other Scandinavian countries? 🌏
Yes , besides Denmark I also visited Reykjavik - Stockholm. Then went on five other countries : Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, before heading back home, Canada.
Your video on Iceland was very helpful in deciding which place I should visit on a short time. I went to Saga Museum. Put on those old viking warrior dress & took lot of pictures, that was great fun. Also went to south shore tour. Iceland is amazing place
Stockholm is a classic wonderful city. I visited some local attractions, Swedish has very rich & vibrant lifestyle.
All the Nordic countries I found very charming.
Quite the trip you had there, it sounds incredible! We're glad our videos helped you out in Iceland :) Happy travels ✈️
Elsker Danmark
yas Copenhague love you
Us too Monim, Copnehagen is awesome! 🤟🏼Have you got any plans to visit?
You forgot to mention the s-train system, which is similar to the s-bahn in berlin:)
I like to see where you buying like the coffe and stuff in Copenhagen aha you can buy a cinnamon roll for like 5 kr after 20:00 in many shops so its a waste to buy it in the city
Tusen Takk. Good job. Very informative. Prices explained. (And no Nyhavn🙄)
this is really very good quality video .. i am wondering what is the camera and lens did you guys use to make this video ?
I went to school with Daniel :D
You can see even more of him in our Copenhagen vlog! - th-cam.com/video/1dpEhRGOA1U/w-d-xo.html
If you travel to Copenhagen or anywhere on earth in fact you MUST get a revolut card. Just check it out, it's incredible: no fees at all. Uses bank exchange rate and free ATM withdrawals abroad. I would recommend 109%! It's the best thing that I've got in a while
Thanks for the tip Luke! We agree, there are lots of different options out there to choose from that don't charge fees so it's worth everyone taking a look to save some money whilst they're away!
I don't know if you said it. But instead of the metro you can take the S-train, which will get you almost anywhere - remember to by a ticket! :)
And yes you are right, in Denmark we do not usually leave tips, because the waiters etc. are paid a decent salary - but if you want to, you can :)
Thanks for the tips! 😉
youre beautiful keep up the good work
Denmark Ftw :)

I 💖 this country Denmark I want to travel ✈️
Hej. What camera do you?
It’s really funny to see what tourist want to se in my land
We loved it! Where's your favourite place to visit? 🇩🇰
My Grandparents were from Copenhagen. I wish my mother had taught me the Danish language.
It's never too late to learn! Have you visited Copenhagen?
@@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides No, i have never had the pleasure of visiting Copenhagen. I can't afford to. As for learning the Danish language, i will retire in one year and that's on my bucket list.
I live in Denmark!
Lucky you! What is your favourite thing about Denmark? 🇩🇰
I like Denmark I m from Mauritania
My dream is to travel ✈️ Denmark
I am actually from Denmark
Tillykke med det!! Du burde vinde en medalje 🏆🏆
Dear tourists, if you are not good at biking, please don't rent a bike during rush hour. We were practically born on bikes and so if you don't know the basic signs and keeping to your right and following the speed of the other bikers, you will most likely be yelled at for slowing traffic down. Mind you, in Copenhagen we don't primarily use our bikes for leisure, but as our main source of transportation to get to and from work, so a tourist getting in our way when we are late, will most likely not get the most welcoming words on his way. Instead, go grab a beer with us, and you will find a more pleasent side of us.
im not traveling there im moving there when i grow up will this still help?
Amazing! There are some tips for everyone :)
Which camera do you use for your vlogging?
Like that you are talking about the Metro trains, but you are looking at the map of the S-trains system. You could say that also is a metro system as well.
Its rubbish when he says its one of the hardest language to learn. First of, it depends on what your first language is. The Foreign Service in the US its one of the easier for English speaker to learn.
While English technically wasn't my first language, it is the language I'm best at. I find Danish to be very difficult, because spoken words sometimes do not sound anything like I would expect them to based on their spellings ("Strøget," for example - when the guy in the video said it, the G and T sounded more like (consonant) Y and L). I can imitate what I hear quite well, but pronunciation can be very challenging without an aural reference.
Check this video to how English is even worse than Danish at that:
th-cam.com/video/A8zWWp0akUU/w-d-xo.html
or this one of thesee two:
th-cam.com/video/QaEZ5_hfEc4/w-d-xo.htmlm33s
th-cam.com/video/1edPxKqiptw/w-d-xo.html
For people speaking a German language, like German, Dutch, Norwegian (both Bokmål and Nynorsk) or Swedish, Danish should be pretty easy to learn. But for people from e.g Spain or Poland it is a different thing...
Is getting to platform 3 at the airport hard? I'm just thinking incase it's a very large airport like Heathrow when you have to get a train to get to the platform 🙈
No, dont worry. When you exit from the luggage pick up, just go straight, up some stairs at the end, and you are at the Metro. Reverse if you are going to terminal 3 from the metro ofc.
Well, going to the fancy shops and eating places will run you up fast...
A very valid point, there are definitely plenty of ways to enjoy Copenhagen on a budget 🇩🇰
5:30 *free* walking tours?
It is not always rainy and windy, sometimes it is rainy and cold.
We're based in England so if it helps we can definitely relate to the rain and cold 😂❄️
Holiday Extras Travel Guides ah so that is why you managed to be so cheerful in that weather. 😀
What if I love cold weather?? What would be the best time to go there?
Hi Ruben, hopefully this link will help but the official Visit Copenhagen website suggest February is the coldest month if that's what you're looking for! www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/weather
How much Cash would you need in JAN weekend 3 nights in Copenhagen?
Hey! On average a cheapish meal is around 125kr, and say a trip to a coffee shop is easily about 110kr too. So to be safe, we'd recommend taking about 600kr to cover you for transport, and entry to attractions too! That's around £71.00 on XE.com.
You can use your debit card really easily in Copenhagen too, just check the charges with your bank :)
Holiday Extras Travel Guides that’s the thing, I have a whole heap of USD cash that I wanna exchange into the currency of the countries I’m visiting! I don’t wanna use my card all the time, International charges isn’t exactly cheap, it all adds up! With all this USD cash it can Surry
Cover my 1 month in Europe
As a German / Dane its amusing you call danish a difficult Language. Compared to German its a fluffy ride
as an american i had a much easier time with german pronunciation
What hotel did you stay at for £260? We’re going in a month and that seems cheap compared to what we’re seeing!! Thanks!!!
Seems likely that she went out of season, maybe? In season prices are definitely steaper.
for 3 nights at £260 you have to get away from the center city, or at least find a hostel. Hotels are usually £150 per night and up - especially in the summer time.
If you're into food at all, I run a newly started food tour in the center of Copenhagen. We would love for you to be some of our very first guests. I can offer you a nice discounted price. Check us out at instagram.com/cphfoodcrawl/ - Let me know if you're interested :-) Have a great trip
I got a room for in January for 3 nights in a 3-star hotel - £138 total. Shop in Lidl or Aldi for groceries if you need cheap lunch/snacks/refreshments. They are the leading low cost supermarket chains all over europe including the UK. They are practically identical stores so it doesn't matter which you choose from.
im from denmaaaaaark! like hvis i er!
Hi Laura, thanks so much for watching! Check out our BTS vlog for more on our time in Copenhagen :) th-cam.com/video/1dpEhRGOA1U/w-d-xo.html
Laura Jørgensen også miiiiiig!
just stop. no one cares honestly
OMG EN DANSKER PÅ TH-cam!?!? fuck af
Nope do not tip. only if it is because there s a little jar meant for it and you need to get rid of some coins. you do not normally tip in denmark, the prices are made higher so you dont have to. so when you pay for your food, you also pay the extra bit for the staff.
In Freetown(Christiania) it's not the "real" locals that doesn't like the cameras. It's the criminal aspects that has invaded that area.
I'm japanese i visit denmark it's very fun but. i didn't say hej for shop people.
what currency should i get for my denmark trip in april?
You'll need Euros when travelling to Denmark. 😀🇩🇰
@@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides danish kroner is prefer tho ?
We have our own currency, the "krone" (dkk). But bring a Visa card too, it's much easier.
@@thewhat531 should i carry dkk currency on trip instead or visa is KEY to pay.
coming from the US. so im stuck of just changing USD to DKK.
or just pay in visa?
cesarmarquez04 I only use cash for buying drugs. Visa for everything else. Most Danes also use an app called MobilePay, but more and more businesses accept Apple Pay now.
I think 99% of businesses here accept Visa.
I would recommend you read up on buying a "rejsekort" (travel card) for public transportation. You can buy one in the airport when you arrive and take the train from the airport to wherever you are staying. It'll save you time and money to have one immediately. There are probably some cards specifically suited for tourists.
Apart from that; don't worry. Danes are pretty friendly, and everyone speaks English. You'll be fine.
Jeg elsker for meget Danmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 min drøm er at blive en dansk statsborger
great travel guide recommending to take a taxi for 35 pounds when you can also take the metro and pay about 30 pounds less.
Of course! The metro is also another great travel option in Copenhagen. Where would you recommend visiting there? 🇩🇰
Amazing video. Wonderful city.
Is it true that Danish is one of the most difficult languages to learn? Would Danish people agree on that?
Thanks so much :). We certainly found Danish a hard language to learn, and Søren said that tourists find it difficult during our interview.
Hi, thanks for the answer :) I agree, Danish language has unique features and its pronunciation is definitely hard. Anyway it won't be a problem for tourism since most of them speak fluent English :)
PORTA AVIONS yeah that. We honestly just love seeing tourists trying to pronounce Danish words and failing horribly. Like just try and say "Rød Grød med Fløde" XD
PORTA AVIONS grammatically it’s not that hard, link between written and spoken danish is insane. Nothing is pronounced the way it’s spelled.
It actually is. it's just the fact that here in the Danish language we pronounce letters and stuff differently. Same with Swedish and German. Like for instance whenever I see videos of tourists in Denmark trying to speak Danish it sounds like they're speaking German but when I see videos of tourists in Sweden trying to speak Swedish it sounds like Danish. weird stuff.
I would like to commend the translation part. In Danish we do not say "how are you" or "how do you do" to someone you do not know. I would be like asking a very personal question about your health. So a Hi is often enough. You can translate the phrases word by word "hvordan har du det" or "hvordan går det" but it is not something we would say to each other in Danish. (the way I see it.)
That's really interesting to know! Thank you for sharing this with us! 😃👌
Impossible to define hygge :-)
Is English widely spoken?
Great question! Although their native language is Danish, Denmark has a 99% English literacy rate and it's a popular language for television :) we hope you enjoyed the video!
Yes, most Danes speak English. especially in the bigger cities. so you will always be able to find someone how can help you
Everywhere!!!!
I'm an experienced linguist and Danish is NOT one of the most difficult languages in the world. In fact, for native English speakers it's probably the easiest - along with Norwegian and Afrikaans. But only to read! The problem with Danish is the pronunciation. It's insane. Other Nordic language speakers struggle with it. You can do it eventually but it's a bit of a nightmare.
When people say Danish is hard to learn they almost invariably talk about the spoken language rather than the written one.
Written Danish is very easy, it has simple grammar, much simpler than English. The most complex things an English speaker have to get used to are probably composite words and genders. Especially gender will keep tripping up foreigners for a long time due to there being no hard rules for when something is common gender and when it is neutral gender. It is one of the immediate tells often when speaking to a native of another language who otherwise passes.
Once you add speech though it gets hard, not just due to pronunciation, but also just because Danish, like French, has a wide gulf between what is written and what is actually said. It makes it hard to expand your vocabulary because you can't just read a word and go out and use it, unless you are a trained linguist at least, especially because Danes tend to switch to English the moment they hear any foreigners struggling with their Danish, so it can be hard to train the language naturally.
Sweden wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
