YES. DANISH TAP WATER IS EXCELLENT. FILL YOUR BOTTLE, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND STOP BUYING PLASTIC WATER OUT OF HABIT.
Visit Copenhagen calls Danish tap water “world-class quality” and encourages visitors to use taps and public drinking fountains for refills. It is one of the small everyday pleasures of visiting a country that takes its water seriously.
What should travelers do?
Drink tap water at your hotel, fill a reusable bottle before heading out and ask for tap water at a restaurant if you want it. Bottled water exists, obviously. It is just not necessary as a default.
One sensible caveat
Follow signs where you see them, especially in unusual settings such as a campsite, a boat or a temporary event. But in normal Danish homes, hotels and restaurants, tap water is the easy answer.
The Danish brag
Good tap water is not glamorous. That is precisely why it is impressive: it is the kind of public standard you only notice when you travel somewhere without it.
