Money, Expenses & Exchange

This is one thing that infuriated me in Denmark. No international Credit Cards without a pin are accepted. Which basically means you have to carry cash! Only Dan Kort or cards with pin are accepted which again shows a complete disregards for people coming in from other countries! Again the Danes put themselves first, so not very tourist friendly on that account!
If you planned your holiday on CCs, forget it!


Denmark uses Danish Kroners, not Euros. Everything is expensive, so resign yourself now to the fact that you are going to spend more than you planned. Going out to eat is what really killed us- the food is good but really expensive. If you get in the habit of cooking right from the start, you might be able to avoid my fate. Choosing long stay apartments is a good idea because you geta kitchennete.Shopping is also a big downfall- take a calculator with you so that you can figure how much you’re actually paying for what you’re buying, rather than making a conservative (i.e. wrong) guess at the cost. I justified a lot of purchases that way…
Bars have covers, so try to figure out which nights are the cheapest to go out (I suggest
Thursdays), and drinks are expensive so choose your bars wisely.
