Exactly! That is probably the most stupidest advice of this woman. Danes are quite proud of their past for a reason. Why would they hate to call them Vikings? I am living in Denmark for 5 years now and no one told me such a thing. Same in Aalborg, Aarhus and Copenhagen.

Viking were called Danes. Denmark was the cradle of viking and all famous Vikings are more or less Dane's like Rollo, Beawulf, Bluetooth etc.

@@mortenhyvejle det er ikke korrekt, man har brugt ordet Daner, og landet kaldt for Dania, og endnu ikke Danmark. Men Danmark var vikingernes kongerige og var muligvis noget større end blot Danmark og Norge, man mener store dele af Sverige også var del af dette rige, men endnu ikke bevist.

It's interesting how Scandinavian countries(🇳🇴🇸🇪🇩🇰) have many things in common in ethnicity similarity in language and in culture and social system too, it's like a separate family. 🇧🇷🌻

[@Smo1k]

Oddly, Sweden is probably the least Scandinavian of us. Even Iceland's culture is more akin to Danish, Norwegian and Finnish culture than Sweden's. Being a stagetech, I've worked in most countries this lattitude, and since there's crowd safety involved, I usually need to interact with the police. Swedish police... It's like they want to make a problem out of the fact that you're talking to them. It's like Southpark's "RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAY!" when you're just asking where they wanna set up shop for the upcoming festival. Baffling: A Danish, Norwegian or Icelandic cop tends towards the attitude "If there's no problem, I can live without the paperwork. Carry on." 😉

[@TheKIMANO]

Denmark, Norway and Sweden have many similarities and in fact all of Norway and parts of Sweden were once Danish. The brotherhood we share is also the flow of a lot of banter, but it has also been deeply serious once. Depending on how you count wars, Denmark and Sweden have a sort of world record for wars with each other, but the record could also be between England and France. It depends on whether you count actual battles or the time you have been at war.

[@hansenlima9306]

I read a bit about the Danish and Swedish wars, Sweden lost most of those wars. I've never been to Scandinavia, but I've been studying about this region of Northern Europe for a few years now. Sweden is the country I like the most that too because I like a lot of Rock bands and Pop artists from Sweden, they make good music. In general, all Scandinavian countries are very different for a Brazilian, it's like another world.

I do jaywalk, but I could also just well be standing all alone in the middle of the night and wait for the light to turn green. What I am saying is that it is not as strict as it is said. But yes if I see someone jaywalking I would notice - it is that rare. But I would mostly just think that the person was either very stupid or very much behind schedule. I would either shake my head at the idiocy, or smile that he/she got herself into such time trouble.

These things are about the culture of Copenhagen. Copenhagen is not all of Denmark. In Jutland, the main part of Denmark, everybody jaywalks and cyclists are totally indifferent to rules and right of way.

[@TheChiefEng]

About interacting with the dogs of Danes, you can just ask politely. Usually, the answer will be no simply because the owner knows that if the dog actually bite or attack anybody, there is a good chance the dog will be put to death. Most dogs in Denmark are family dogs and may react unexpected to people they don't know or feel comfortable with.

As a Dane, my all too early late father learned me to ride a bike. As now 75, he sadly died when I was only 6½, but I still rides bikes! Also very expensive bikes, as a Top Brompton folding bike (Actually a horrible bike on small wheels, but very handy for transport, as folded!) and a Superlight carbon MTB. The last is best when riding up a brick wall, in the low gears 😁

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

Hello sir, I hope you wont find it rude, but I'd like to ask you a question. I think you're saying that you're 75 now. So when Disneyland opened and become popular, were people aware in Denmark that it was inspired by Tivoli Gardens? (By the way I also have a folding bike! An inexpensive Zizzo).

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@BobKnight-mm2ze Yes, to my knowledge Walt Disney became much inspired by the Tivoli (and it isn't only for amusement, but also a fine natural Park around, as also a part of the now flattened, former Fortress Wall round Copenhagen, and the water in front of it)! And by the way, we also have an even older Amusement Park, north of Copenhagen, and considered the oldest in the world, "Bakken" (and we don't mention, that they have one in Vienna, which is, possibly older?)! We also have the by far most precise "Mechanical Clock" in the world (Guinness) and with the slowest moving mechanical part in it (Guinness)! "The Olsen, World Clock" inside the Town Hall in Copenhagen (Not the clock in the tower, on the outside of the building!).

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

@@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 Thank you Mr. Sørensen. I'm headed that way in the Fall, so I appreciate the list of things to see. The only thing I had on my list was that big bridge that connects to Malmo!

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

And if interested in History we also have most of the former, outside Defense Wall round Copenhagen and considered the finest of its kind, now mostly also a Public Park. It was built around the former turn of the Century, and it became absurdly expensive, but most likely kept Denmark from being invaded by Germany during the First World War, so it was worth the cost!! And several of the former Military Buildings have been reconstructed from the original drawings! As also a part has been cleaned from growth to make it look like the original. And you can't see it as a defense wall from the outside, before you meet the water in front of it, in a deep ditch. We had invited a German Officer up to look at built, and from his Report we could, after the war, see that he considered it would be too expensive to take control of the Danish Capital!!!!

@@janemoller Here in Denmark was walking a Swizz Shepherd mix (my parents') and this lady just sat down _right_ in front of him and started petting him. She was so lucky that no motorpeds were going by at the time, because he was _really_ aggressive towards those and if he can't reach them he would often bite whatever was closest (not seriously, but still, her face was _right there). I was so shocked I didn't even react.

[@user-nz8rc6jx3f]

1.everyone does, it’s all about time, no we will not walk if there are cars nearby (even if we could technically run over) but let’s say no cars are anywhere and you need to get somewhere, you can cross. Even if it’s red. Just don’t be an inconvenience ig? 6. It’s a basic respect thing, that’s why I don’t get why people just touch dogs without permission, you don’t know the dog or their problems, but most danes will not mind you petting their dog if you ask nicely before even approaching. 8. Is just straight up wrong!!! Try to speak danish we love it, unless ur holding up a line ofc that’s not the time to be practicing ur danish😂 even if ur bad at danish I promise it’s always funny to see people try! We know it’s hard trust me. 9. All bars are expensive here, drink before showing up to the bar and only buy a few drinks there(beer is exspensive too most places) so better to show up tipsy before hand (don’t be be loud and reckless though. It’s okay to have fun and party but you will most likely get kicked out if you cause too much trouble) and I would definitely recommend not getting wasted the first time you go to the bars there, too feel the energy and know what to expect. 10. Definitely depends on the person you are talking too and should probably not be the conversation starter (unless they literally look like a Viking, I’m talking long a bit messy curly hair in a ponytail and tattoos to match, and I’m not joking I even personally know a few people that dress like that. then they will probably appreciate it lol) 12 again with basic respect and privacy.. you can look and most people will not notice but don’t stare, it’s creepy… 😂 But also there are a lot more things to see in Denmark than Copenhagen, and Copenhagen is basically NOTHING like the rest of Denmark. It’s busy it’s loud and it’s stressful. I personally can’t stand Copenhagen and a lot of people can be rude and snobby. I’m not saying all of course! And everyone has different opinions and perspectives but this was mine. I enjoy Aalborg a lot, its a LOT smaller but close to a lot of interesting things and if ur looking for a quick walk up north I would recommend fosdalen in summer especially its north west from Aalborg and Dane’s would say it’s a long drive from Aalborg but as the fact that driving from the ABSOLUTE TOP of Denmark to Germany takes about 5-6 hours (and the same from about mid north Jutland to Copenhagen) I would say a lot of other countries might not think it’s that long of a drive.

When spring hits and you see life blossom up and the vibes starts to buzz, the batteries charges up and you live the fullest again, then autum sets in you settle in and gear down and prepare yourself for the beautiful winter and stay active. You have to have it in the blood and most north people have that life cyclus hard ingrained in their genetics, it is a disciplin and they love it. They value and enjoy life much more because of it. It is the winter that makes the North people, resistant, creative, strong and super productive.

I would recommend also going to cities like aarhus and horsens

Pusher Street is now closed.

This information is not correct. I'm viking and I'm proud of it. If it wasn't for danish vikings, world would have been a different place today.

[@Heddanofarsan]

Funny you think their liquer prices are high. Welcome to Sweden! Come to Göteborg and we can swing a beer! Oh I was just in Cph I must go there more often. Mini Berlin for a swede! Sweden is soo uptight in comparison...

Thanks Anna goldwoman for 12 things.

[@oscarpullich7888]

bruh i jaywalk all the time and i am born and raised in Copenhagen, alot of people do this

[@not_my_name5200]

After a trip to Copenhagen i would like to add here that jaywalking feels like a national sport there and the most popular souvenir is a mad viking

[@eugenearisteo9727]

I would like to visit

[@TheScarlett80]

Hi from Copenhagen 😊

[@seanmcintyre3986]

Those blippy noises can drive you crazy, otherwise a good video.

[@TheKIMANO]

The video makes it sound like the Danes are a bunch of rule-bound angels on bicycles. The warning that you, as a tourist, practice your skills before throwing yourself into traffic is extremely relevant, as Danes on bicycles in Copenhagen are a bunch of bloodthirsty anarchists ;-) The fact that they pretty much all hold back at red lights is primarily because they know how to other cyclists behave.

[@james69006]

I. Love babe, nice connection to my Danish family ....

[@YTmanu124]

You actually went to my country

[@lailana3325]

Not sure where you got the idea that we dont like being called Vikings, its simply not true. We dont mind being called Vikings.

[@kirstenandreasen908]

We Danes love to be called Vikings 😊

[@FlyToChina0071]

Welcome to the rest of Denmark next time :-). On a side note bikers do not follow any rules at all, just ask the police...

[@diamondmeeple]

Now you will pick Denmark instead of Norway? Hehe 🙂

[@stevenvirdenrasmussen-jone4671]

I was surprisd to see a photo of a pit bull in Denmark. My Danish cousin has told me that they are illegal over there.

[@cboemannc]

they are - must be an old photo - or not from denmark

My favorite countries are NOT in Scandinavia, plain and simple.

[@KHValby]

LMAO 🤣 ! Some of us do Jaywalk, if there is no traffic ! But basically, your right..., we wait for the green light 😊 ! Yeah! Tourist´s coming here to ride Bikes, not knowing the rules.., , are the WORST 😔 ! A danger to themself s and the rest of us. You need to learn the rules before you get on a bike here! (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmWVfJ1_oLRriaM) . Freetown Christiania: By the time of this comment, "Pusher Street" has been shut down by the locals there. The Gangs have been run out, with the support of the Danish Police. Your gonna have to find your "Weed" somewhere else 😊 ! As a Dane, I don´t mind being called "Viking" 😊! Proud of my heritage.., for good or bad 🙄 ! Really GOOD Vlog Anna ! ❤ it !

[@ft3917]

hahaha.. funny. never jailwalk.. we never jailwalk if there is a lot off traffic.. UNLESS your autobuss is on the other side off the crossing.. then you run to try and catch the bus before it leaves. pedestean crossings.. many danes dont stop. so dont just walk on the pedestrean crossing without checking if the cars have seen you. ( an extreme right wing danish politician ones told she wished to remove all pedestrean crossings, because cars dont stop ??? I can only ask : WHAT ? a politician that dont think it is better idea to educate drivers to stop if pedestreans are crossing. but NOO .. . her logic : lets remove all pedestrean crossings. you just need to take to spain, and you will figure out that they all stop at pedestrean crossings, because police looks at that crime seriusly. very serius it is difficult for a dane to understand there are countryes without bycicle culture. so they have not learned the trafic rouls for bikes. just follow the stream off bikes. the rest is logic. not so difficult. off course you can not frive under influence off alcohol, not even on a bike. you will get a fine, and have to walk home. but if you have a drivers licens and drive drunk on a bike. ? in theory you can get a fine as if you were driving a car drunk. . but most times the police will just give a fine, and walk home christania.. and pusher street. you may not take photos.. because off the hash deals on the street. you may not run, because there are a lot off dogs walking arround free without a lash.. and if people runs.. it can panic the dogs. it can also panic the pushers if they think people runs because off police invation. normaly the drugs sold there is hashish and canabis. very seldon it is hard drugs. and if the cristianits finds out someone deals hard drugs. they will never wish to come back . Dogs: people gets dogs to meet other people while walking with the dog. specialy men that hopes to meet a nice girl / woman. then they hope you talk to the dog. so he can meet her better. ( i dont know about girls, why they have dogs. ) The summer in denmark is wierd. sometimes it is hotter in maj than in july. the nights can be cold. ( 18 celcius ) at the day 24 - 26 celcius. almost everyone over 12 years of age , speaks or understand 1 language meore than danish. it can be english, german sweedish , french . most are good at english. but you have no change to speak danish the first time. unless you have a potato in you mouth while trying to speak. Danish drinks beer, they can be difficult to drink under the table with beer. But because alcohol in bars is expencive and you only get 2- 4 cl alcohol in the drink. danes are easy to drink under the table with alcohol. All dDanes knows they are vikings.. but few off them feel they are. but you can always make fun about it. and have a laugh with the danes. YES Roskilde festival is the best in europe. properbly not the biggest anymore. that is 40+ years ago that what the biggest in europe. it became smaller after people died under consert with clash and rcure and ramones. then they set a maximum off people to enter. dont tell a dane you dont like their cakes. the same with the danish food with a lot off gravey. danes are proud off their cakes and food with gravey.

[@CountPenta]

You can pet my dog... But you have to ask first. I don't mind being called a Viking. And the Christiania weed might soon be a thing of the past.

[@janesimeonov1801]

Copenhagen is the best city in a world i have been there in March this year and i like it that city

[@Ikkeligeglad]

You should visit Denmark in June, the best time for a vacation

[@stevend2377]

Will my U.S debit card work in denmark?

[@Ikkeligeglad]

Talk with your bank, but if uou have a Visa or a Mastercard it should be ok, but anyway make a phonecall to your bank

[@cboemannc]

if visa or mastercard then yes you will even be able to go cashless - i've only used cash at flee markets in the past 10 years - I certainly don't even carry cash 99% of the time

[@Gert-DK]

If you are an English speaker, don't even try to pronounce Danish words. Germans actually can pronounce many of our words, like Nyhavn.

[@freepagan]

Sad advice! I'm a native English speaker and I think I can do it.

[@Gert-DK]

@@freepagan If you don't have researched it, such as Google Translate or if you don't have knowledge of German or other Scandinavian languages, you won't have a clue. So if you are an English speaker, just pronounce it the English way. We are used to it. OK, some names come out quite funny, and maybe we laugh a little when you don't see it. TIP: Learn to pronounce Æ, Ø and Å, it would help you a lot. They are easy to pronounce, and I believe they are constant through all the words. Your hate letter in Danish would be "D". It has 17 ways to be pronounced.
