Rules in force · 10Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Cycle lanes are fast traffic

Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
Denmark ↗Denmark is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; Greenland and the Faroe Islands have separate entry arrangements.
Denmark ↗Bike lanes are busy fast lanes: do not walk or stand in them, and signal before you stop if you cycle.
Denmark ↗Denmark is close to cashless: cards and phone payments work almost everywhere, even for small amounts.
Copenhagen and Zealand ↗Buy train tickets in the DOT or DSB app before you board; check the last return before you leave.
Copenhagen ↗Cycle lanes are fast traffic: do not stand or walk in them, and wheel large suitcases on the pavement, not the lane.
Copenhagen ↗Cards and phone payments work almost everywhere; some cafés no longer take cash.

Eat and drink here

Conditori La Glace

A confectionery café on a lane off Strøget, open since 1870: go for coffee and a slice of cake in the afternoon; the layered sports cake is the local choice.

Restaurant Schønnemann

A lunch-only smørrebrød restaurant in the Latin Quarter, open since the 1870s: book a table for lunch, order two or three open sandwiches and a small beer; it is a sit-down lunch, not a quick stop.

Rescue anchors

7 places to rest · checked on a 40 m (130 ft) grid

A rescue anchor is a spot where you can stop and recover if the walk goes wrong: a bench, a café, a toilet. Every letter on the map is one anchor, and each has a card below. We check that any point in the cluster is within about 7 minutes’ walk of one, so you are never far from somewhere to sit down.

Map © OpenStreetMap contributors. Lettered circles: rescue anchors (green works in any conditions, amber only on hot days). Dashed outline: the cluster. Red dots: spots more than 7 min from any anchor (none if you see no red). North is up; not for navigation.
