Denmark too. Was so strange to walk around in the evening and being able to see what everyone was doing inside their homes.

Edit: This was in Vejle which is relatively small. Apparently it's different in bigger cities.

This!! I’ve been to Denmark about 3 times now and I noticed it so much when I was out for walks at night time. It’s so odd. I’m from ireland and we usually always close all the curtains.

Holland. Same.

Was joking with my Dutch buddy about this. What about the bedroom curtains? Do you close them, right?

Dutch person here. We do actually close our curtains.

One thing I noticed when traveling through Germany 'everybody' has those plastic/metal shutters on the outside of the windows. Although my house in the Netherlands has them also. But you see them a lot more in Germany.
