Planning a vacation in Scandinavia (leddit.danmark.party)

Hey guys,

I am a Sikh Indian guy and I was planning to travel to the happiest part of the world with my parents. We are Sikhs and we wear a turban on our head, Is Denmark safe for a vacation for us? I plan on enjoying the Copenhagen nightlife and am worried weather my look with a turban will be safe or not even at night at clubs and bars And along with Copenhagen which other part of Denmark would you suggest is a definite must visit.

Thank you, Cheers

I've had my hair pulled by guys and girls alike, when I had long hair, and I have many full-bearded friends who have had their beards pulled in the Danish nightlife. A turban might be, unfortunately, an easy target for such drunken harrasment, but it very much depends on the specific place. Walking through a Danish city during the night, or visiting a decent bar/nightclub, you should definitely be safe.

Have a great trip!

I mean, you are surrounded by drunk people. That can happen everywhere

I think this is a case of drunk people being shitty more than harassment because people are “different”.

My friend is very much Scandinavian (and looks that way) but she has a glorious head full of blonde curls. Like, almost an afro but a bit less tight curls. When we go to decent places her hair is a non-issue, but when we go to the cheaper bars some douche always has to touch her hair as though they’ve never seen a head of curly hair in their life. Drunk people can just be shitty to everything that’s “new” and don’t think about personal boundaries. It sucks and is unfair, but I don’t think OP has to worry about that happening unless they go to shitty bars.

OP, I would just steer clear of bars where the clientele look a bit… I don’t want to say trashy, but it’s nonetheless the best descriptor I can think of. The people in these places are usually very nice, but they have little to no filter and haven’t been exposed to very much. That ignorance combined with alcohol can sometimes lead to very inappropriate behaviour.

You will be completely safe in Denmark in general, though, I think the only problem you can encounter is in these bars/amongst drunk people.
