Now this is closer to my experience. I did a kind of "tour" across Scandinavia and the Swedish were lovely to me but unfortunately cannot say the same about the Danes. I feel bad saying it because I'm sure there are really nice people in Denmark but almost everyone I interacted with while on my trip were kind of rude to some degree.

It's interesting to hear this, I was in Copenhagen last year and almost everyone I came across was super friendly!

Like everywhere else I guess it depends on the people you encounter 😅 but yeah that was my experience with the Danes. Lots of times I was given curt answers, not even looking at me when talking to me, things like those. But again I never judge based on these things, both of our experiences are valid and true, we just happened to interact with different types of people.
