Spare-time activities

It takes an active effort to attain a network in Denmark.

Many expats in Denmark find it difficult to establish friendships with the Danes. It is necessary to make an active effort to build up a network in Denmark. Denmark has many associations and clubs, which is where one often comes a bit closer to the Danes.

Meet your colleagues
The different hospitals often have employees’ associations with cultural events, choir practice, fitness groups, etc. Inquire at the hospital and perhaps ask your colleagues if they belong to an association or a club that seeks new members. It is a good idea to participate in summer and Christmas parties, if you want to get to know your colleagues better.

Associations and local culture
You may obtain information on the associations in your neighbourhood at your municipality. You may also find information in your local newspaper, your local library, and on the internet.

Social networks
Quite a few networks have been established for expats in Denmark. Here you may chat with Danes and other expats about living in Denmark as well as obtain information and participate in events about everything raging from tax rules to bicycle trips.
