Why Visit Denmark?

Organic food

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Copenhagen, and Denmark in general, is very big on organic food. The country takes the lead in organic food consumption in the entire world. So you can expect your food to be fresh and produced locally.

Also, Danish people generally eat a lot of meat and fish. Probably due to the cooler climate they live in and the ports nearby. When we visited Nørreport, it was evident how much meat and fish Danish people actually eat. For breakfast, it isn’t unusual to eat bread and cheese. Sandwiches, or Smørrebrød, is also very big in Denmark. I personally didn’t try typical Danish dishes. For the most part, we mainly ate sandwiches and our version of tapas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]

Friendly locals

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]People in Copenhagen typically stayed to themselves, but we did encounter many friendly people. On day two, we got breakfast at a bakery not too far from our Airbnb. The woman working at the bakery couldn’t understand English. And, of course, we didn’t speak Danish. But, she was patient and didn’t take offense to us pointing at what we wanted.

Although we did meet one person who didn’t speak English, many people in Copenhagen do speak English. Especially the closer in the city you are.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row anchor=”transportation”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Transportation

[/vc_column_text]

[vc_column_text]Since Copenhagen is a relatively small city, we basically spent no more than $15 on transportation. Also, our Airbnb was fairly close to the city center, so we often opted to walk. We didn’t see the point in wasting the money on public transportation if it wasn’t necessary. The only times we used the public transportation was coming from, and going to, the airport.

If walking for long periods of time isn’t your thing, then biking is a great alternative. I noticed how many residents rode their bikes everywhere, it was cool to see how eco-friendly Copenhagen is.[/vc_column_text]

Money saving tips

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Denmark is very expensive. When originally buying currency to prep for this trip, I thought taking out $50 USD for two and a half days would be enough. I soon learned that it wasn’t. The currency exchange for the Danish krone was somewhat confusing. My friends and I found ourselves taking more money out by the afternoon on day two. Just be aware of what you’re spending your money on.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″]

1
Cook Your Own Meals If you pick an accommodation that has a kitchen, utilize it! Since eating out in Denmark can be very pricey, we cooked a lot of our meals.

2
Rent a Bicycle This is an inexpensive way to get around Denmark. There are bikes everywhere, specifically in Copenhagen. Also, you get a great leg workout in!

3
Use Public Transportation Since Denmark can be expensive, I'd suggest using public transportation to save money.

Safety in Denmark

[/vc_column_text]

[vc_column_text]We walked around Copenhagen early in the morning and late at night. And at no point did we feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Although, I know that Denmark has been named one of happiest countries in the world. So, maybe that also has an effect on crime?[/vc_column_text]
