Copenhagen is not exactly the first city that comes to mind when you think of an affordable European vacation, but the Danish capital is big enough and there is enough to do that even the least-creative traveler can find a way to spend a few days in the city on any budget.
Step 1 when booking a Copenhagen holiday is to book a hotel or accommodation that either includes breakfast or has facilities that allow you to make your own breakfast. Buying your own ingredients at the supermarket will go a long way in saving your Danish krone as dining out is one of the most expensive things to do in Copenhagen.
If you do decide to dine out, lunch is the best meal to have at a restaurant as some spots offer a menu of the day, which includes a starter, a main and often a dessert and/or coffee, plus another beverage. Other options for à-la-carte meals include Hooked Seafood Kitchen in Nørrebro where a fish burger costs 85 krone, or about $12.61. Copenhagen is also known for hot dog stands, littered throughout the city, which can serve as a quick snack stop as you wander the city.
Satiated and ready to explore, book a slot on one of the many free walking tours, most of which depart from Copenhagen’s City Hall. The tour is free, but you’re asked to tip your guide at the end in the amount you feel the tour should have cost if you were required to pay for it.
Copenhagen’s vast city limits make it a great walking city and even better to see by bicycle. Do as the Danes do and traverse the city on a rented bike, which can cost anywhere from $8 to $18 for a few hours to a full day.
