Travel Tips

The best time to visit is May through September for milder weather and longer days. Pack layered clothing and waterproof gear due to unpredictable weather. Respect local customs such as greeting with a handshake and removing shoes when entering homes. Safety is generally good, but be cautious on hiking trails and near cliffs. Cash is accepted but credit cards are widely used. It is advisable to have some Danish kroner on hand for small purchases.
