Time difference Denmark

No time difference. Denmark operates on summer and winter time just like France.

On the other hand, the Faroe Islands have a time difference of + 1 hour, in summer and in winter (like Great Britain).

Opening hours Denmark

To see / To do Denmark

The opening hours vary from one place to another, so it is important to check them before planning your day. Museums are generally open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm or from 11am to 6pm. One night a week, a nocturne pushes the opening to 9 or 10 pm. From June to September, most of them are open every day of the week, such as the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, but they close earlier on holidays.

As far as monuments are concerned, the opening hours can be more limited, from 10am to 3pm or even 4pm.

Enjoying yourself Denmark

The Nordic people are used to eating early. Lunch, frokost, is usually served between 12 and 3:30 pm but we dine aften from 5:30 pm! After 9pm, it can be difficult to be received in a restaurant even if this custom is changing and adapting to the development of tourism. The good news is that, in their great majority, restaurants are open on Sunday.

In the Faroe Islands, restaurants are often closed on weekends and public holidays, except in July and August. Fortunately, the gas stations are open and have a mini-market that can help you out. Also, some supermarkets (Bonus, FK, Á Handil, Á Landavegur) open from 7am/9am to 10pm/11pm.

No sale of alcohol in the stores after 5pm.
