It’s the law in Denmark that any service charge, including tips for waiters, has to be included in the price in restaurants. This could be a disadvantage for customers as waiters don’t need to provide good service to secure a tip!
On the other hand, it’s a shame that exceptional work isn’t rewarded – so, to cut a long story short – it’s up to you.
Taxi drivers in Denmark will automatically include a set tip in their fares so there’s no need to tip.
Some bars include tips in their tabs but if not, 10 percent would be appropriate. Check though, to avoid paying twice.
In hotels, as in most countries in the world, it’s always good to tip people for carrying your heavy bags – the equivalent of $1 is the norm.
