Dating in the Capital Region of Denmark.
Copenhagen, the Øresund coast and an island in the Baltic.
The Capital Region stretches from Copenhagen and Frederiksberg up the Øresund coast to Helsingør, inland to Hillerød and out to Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. It is where most of Denmark's expats, international students and new arrivals live, drawn by the universities, life sciences and tech jobs. Danes here speak excellent English, so dating in English is normal, though learning a little Danish is always appreciated.
