You probably heard that Copenhagen, Denmark, is expensive, at least compared to other big European cities. But that shouldn’t discourage you from visiting it. As it turns out, there are quite a few ways to explore Copenhagen on a budget.
Consider Hostels or Couchsurfing
You will be able to find cheap accommodation in Copenhagen if you don’t mind staying at a hostel. However, an even better option is to try the hospitality exchange platform Couchsurfing. There are plenty of locals looking for a culture exchange, so you might get a free stay and a new friend in Copenhagen.
Take Advantage of Free Attractions
Copenhagen might be expensive, but you won’t have to pay much to have a good time here. The city is full of tourist attractions and activities that won’t cost you a thing. From seeing the Little Mermaid statue to strolling The Harbor Circle, you can be certain that free fun is always around the corner in Denmark’s capital.
Get the Copenhagen Card
Copenhagen is a big city, so you will need to use public transportation often to get to the place you want to check out. This is why you should get the Copenhagen Card, especially if you are staying for a bit longer. The card offers not only unlimited transportation but also grants you free entry to paid tourist attractions and discounts at restaurants and shops.
Bring a Water Bottle
To avoid spending money on staying hydrated, bring a water bottle anywhere you go. Tap water is safe to drink in Copenhagen, and there are plenty of drinking fountains around the city where you can refill your water bottle.
