Take in Aalborg (in North Jutland) on your way to Norway, or else
as a place to get away from tourist crowds.  There's the Akvavit
distillery and (as of 1972 anyway) a pub called Duus down in some
17th century cellar with massive oak tables and chairs.

My K0bnhavn friends never took the deluxe ferry to Malm0--it's too
expensive.  The preferred route was the old, cheap boat, to Landskrona,
the voyage undertaken to buy coffee, which for some reason was about
twice as cheap in Sweden,  and tax-free cigarettes while en route.
Then you turn around and go back, as there is nothing whatsoever to do
in Landskrona.  But it makes for a nice afternoon on the water.

Anyway, these two suggestions should be good ways to meet real Danes,
who in my experience loved hearing foreigners try to cope with their
language.  It took me several months before my queries in Danish were
not answered in English.  Important note in that regard:  All the
Danes I ran into enjoyed speaking English, which they must study for
many years in school.  They also must study German, which they not
only resent speaking, but often pretend they can't understand.
It's not memories of WW II so much as German tourists, who usually
speak nothing but German, have become the "ugly Americans" over
there.

Final disclaimer:  This info is from 1972, though I hope things
have not changed too much.  God, it was idyllic!
