| Most post offices are open Mon-Fri 9.30am-5pm, Sat 9am-noon, with
reduced hours in smaller communities. You can buy stamps either there or
from most newsagents; mail to other parts of Europe under 20g costs
4.50kr and to the rest of the world 5.50kr. Danish public telephones
come in two forms. Coin-operated ones are red and require a minimum of 2
x 1kr for a local call (the machines irritatingly swallow one of the
coins if the number is engaged), and 5kr to go international; plastic
for the blue card phones comes in denominations of 30kr, 50kr and 100kr
and works out a little cheaper. One thing to remember when dialling
Danish numbers is always to use the area code. Danish directory
enquiries (10kr) is on tel 118, international directory enquiries (also
10kr) on tel 113, with almost all operators speaking English.
Internet access is available for free at most libraries and some tourist
offices. Alternatively some sleep-ins will offer access for 25-35kr/hr,
and Internet cafés can be found in most towns.
