10 things to do in Copenhagen on a budget

Copenhagen is one of the most visited cities in Scandinavia. It’s known for its colourful waterfront, its cobblestone streets and… how expensive it can be. So I spent a weekend in Copenhagen to find out if you can have a nice time there without spending a fortune.

    For folks who don't fancy the pods, I stayed in the Go Hotel Copenhagen at Tårnby near the airport for about the same price as quoted in this vid. It's a bit basic but you get proper hotel rooms and breakfast thrown in and you can save money on the train fare to the airport as it is literally a 2 mile / 30 min walk through the park. Food wise - have a pölsehorn from 7/11 and don't forget to keep hold of your plastic drinks bottles to get your PANT deposit back afterwards. For folks who absolutely have to see the sights, the Copenhagen Card is worth it, if only for the travel alone, although the rates on the DSB app weren't too bad.

The round tower was designed by the then King, so he could ride to the top on his horse. Great video and as we say over here "farvel". Where English got Fare well from. Maybe.

    Dont give those pesky danes our swedish smörgåsbord! What you had was smörrebröd (which is good too I guess, for a danish thing). Fun video as usual, Lucy! Scandinavia really isnt expsensive as such. Many things costs slightly more than elsewhere because we genereally let things cost what they need to maintain a high standard.

    +1 for this. Most cities do a card like this - Stockholm, Amsterdam, Oslo, Dublin etc - and they are nearly always worth it, if only for the travel alone. The Amsterdam one for example paid for itself within a day (we got a 3-day card). Also the fact you can have it on an app means you can plan and keep track of where you go and what you do.

Thank you Lucy - this was exactly what I had in mind. ✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️ Much though this was an informative cooking video, I really miss you travelling around. Now that you don't work for Drivetribe, you could travel again, just without having to cram everything into a day or having to ask strangers to film you and without being unprepared (clothing-wise) for the destination. You could go on a slightly more reasonable budget, rather than a rock-bottom budget. All trips using a smaller suitcase/larger travel bag - no squashing everything into a rucksack! People would trust your opinion and we'd all enjoy watching you discover new locations. I really enjoyed your other trips.

Off-seasong is the absolute best. And you don't have to do cph centrer, there's alot of other parts of the city that is highly recommended.

From memory, the tower's spiral path was to allow horses to be brought up ( why, I can't remember. Maybe horses like high views too 🙃). It's a great city - compact enough to walk to most of the sights.
