I’m leaving next week for 2 weeks in Stockholm, Billund, Aarhus and Copenhagen. Just saw a map that showed Denmark had the highest rate of the new variant in the world! Would like to hear experiences from recent travelers. I am planning to wear a mask on public transportation and in crowded places. Is that enough? I am immunocompromised and careful.

It may not be enough so be prepared to possibly get it and have a plan. Very few people will be masked. I got Covid probably on a train in France in May surrounded by lots of folks coughing and blowing their noses. I was masked (well fitted N95) but none of the symptomatic folks were.

Please speak with your PCP for guidance and possible having paxlovid with you if he or she thinks it’s wise to do so. Also, who cares if you are the only person wearing a mask!

Wear a mask like you did in 2020, stay outdoors as much as possible for meals, and avoid crowds in poorly ventilated interiors. That's the best you're gonna do...good luck.
We spent 3 weeks in Paris in May, did all of the above, and nobody got sick. But there was less virus of any sort "circulating" then, things have changed a lot in the last month or so, so who knows? If I were immunocompromised, I would not have gone to Paris in May, but that is for you to decide.

Check that your travel insurance covers you for a possible extended stay, change of flights, etc.
Take extra supplies such as meds etc, with you in case you have to stay an extra two weeks.
Pack some home Covid tests along too, that way you can test first to find out what it is before looking for a clinic or doctor.
