Denmark - Culture

Normal courtesies should be observed. Guests should refrain from drinking until the host toasts his or her health. Casual dress is suitable for most places but formal wear is required at more exclusive dining rooms and social functions. Smoking is banned on public transport and in public buildings. Smoking is only allowed in bars smaller than 40 sq metres (431 sq ft) which do not serve food. Some restaurants and pubs have designated outdoor smoking areas.
