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.
Check out the behind the scenes vlog: • James May sent me to C...

A Lucy Brown video is always a must see.
As a Dane living in the suburbs of Copenhagen i must admit, this guide was amazing, showing the great sites that doesn't break the bank. And a stroll through Copenhagen can give some gorgeous experiences, even for someone who have always lived closed to it.

I like that Lucy came out to Nørrebro/Bispebjerg to see Grundtvigs Kirken so many KZreadrs come to Copenhagen get stuck in Indre By and complain about the cost of everything…

Did Lucy call smørrebrød smörgåsbord? The first is a Danish delicious dish and the second is a Swedish way of serving food, by not serving it but having the guests do the work.

I wondered about that! Thanks for the clarification. 🙂
For 2:19, you can save the 4.50 pounds. Instead of the Round Tower, you can walk for 5 minutes to the Danish Parlament, where you can get to the top of the tower for free, and get a very nice view of the Copenhagen.
It's awesome that Lucy is continuing the cheap travel videos, she is so good at them.
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 best small budget travel blog... in the worrrlld. 😄 Copenhagen looks like a lovely place to visit and its good to know it can be done on the cheap.
thats good to know that it can be done on a budget... thanks again Lucy
The pod looks cool. And the chill park looked like I could get my nap on lol
Got back from Copenhagen a week ago, after spending 5 days there, it’s a wonderful place to visit and walk round.
YES, YES YES YES YES YES, Lucy Brown travel show, GOD I missed this ❤
I love how James made you go to visit somewhere notoriously expensive but do it on a budget. Also, it is cool to learn to appreciate things that people would otherwise walk by and not think twice of.
YES FINALLY!!! A Travel vlog! I've waited so long for this. Thank you for this, I loved it!
Yaay new lucy videos making their way out, love to see it
Wish this video existed before my Copenhagen trip! Now I want to go back and follow all your tips, Lucy 🤩
Love to see this. I really enjoyed the videos where Richard and Mike sent you across Europe on the cheap flights. You really seem to of perfected this style of video, and seem more comfortable doin them. :)
Awesome video Ms. Brown. Each time I see you in a video either with James or on your own, I understand why he is fond of you. Thank you from Ontario, Canada.
Awesome video Lucy , so happy you are doing travel guides again
You're brilliant at these little travel films Lucy!
Great video Lucy, Copenhagen is lovely and well worth a visit

Very informative indeed. I look forward to seeing the vlog next week.
Always enjoy a new video from Lucy
Loved this one! And i think it was a great suggestion to try and visit a pricey place but inexpensively. So many amazing places to visit, but you dont want to take out a second mortgage to visit!
Thank you for visiting Copenhagen. There are a lot of other amazing spots to visit in Denmark if you're interested 👌
Trying to get a schgen visa to get to Copenhagen. This helps massively with the places to stay , costs etc . Love the format of 5mins ish. Thank you.
Hej Lucy! Glad you liked it here. I came for a holiday 30 something years ago, liked it so much I moved lol. Smørgåsbord is however Swedish the Danish open sandwich is Smørrebrød. 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.
Great video. I do miss the behind the scenes shots from your previous trips, though. They were often the highlights, as far as I'm concerned.
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.
We love Lucy 😍 Oh, and the tour was fab!
Watching Lucy eat is always good entertainment. Nice to see the Budget Travels are still around.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait. Lucy had support crew!? Ooooo, someone is getting fancy!
Nicely done! I like the premise for that. You have a great eye for how to frame a shot too. The pod thing is a need idea - didn't know that was even an option in a place like that (I'd only ever heard of those in Japan).
A great travel vlog!! No asking strangers to film you though, I see you.
James' version of Mission Impossible, go to Copenhagen, it's lovely. lol Thank you so much!
me visiting Copenhangen for an extended period of time at the end of the year, this is going to really help :)
Yay!! A Lucy vid to brighten up my week! Dusseldorf was pretty good, when I went many years ago.
Oh class, glad you're still making these!

Loved this one. Nice job Lucy! Really enjoy these. I'm going to make that steak Tar Tar.
Thanks for another fun video.
Love the video, always a great watch.
What a great vlog, Lucy. The subject was great, but the videography, and the editing were spectacular. The jump shots of you walking were spot on, and all the jump cuts were perfectly timed to the background music. Just amazing. You should teach a master class on this.
Always love your travelogs - down to earth and practical. I've only been through the Copenhagen airport, but even that was impressive! Definitely on my "must visit" list! So, cheese is a no, but steak tartare is okay? 😄
So happy that this series is living on!
5:17 Mostly fairly chill, but it's almost sacrilege to refer to the smørrebrød using a Swedish word!
Great work!
Really enjoyed these kinda vids in the past stoked they are back. Cheers for the vid :D
You can also get the Copenhagen card that covers most of all the attractions and travel from the city all the way to the airport and Roskilde at different prices depending on how long you stay.

+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.
Yay! Travel Lucy is back. Brilliant mini travel log. Wonder if Malta is achievable on a budget?
Great new video Lucy. Looking forward to all your future videos.
Skol! 🍻 Greetings from Norway! 🇳🇴
Glad to see more travel content, really enjoyed the ones you did before as well.
Lucy your videos are always so relaxing and i enjoy seeing them 😁
Hey , Lucy ! I just want to tell you that your trips are amazing and wish you to continue this type of career And I hope you to start a journey to the middle east and Africa Ahmad from Syria 🇸🇾
yay more travel videos!
Thanks.. I really enjoyed the mini travel videos you made with Richardl.. I'm glad you are making them again.
Hi Lucy, Good to see you! Keep making great films and I'll keep watching Cheers!
I visited Copenhagen cca. a month ago and was really surprised it wasn't as expensive as I expected. I really loved the city and will definitely visit again... and the people are super nice there 😉
Loved the travel blog! As for future travel vlog suggestions, I'd say Helsinki, or somewhere in Finland
I made the following comment on your chilli beef video, wishing for more travel vids. 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.
I'm going there in 3 weeks, thanks Lucy!
Super interesting. 🙂 Dreaming of the danish pipe shop.
I love that lucy are wearing GANT. I love Lucy's videos. I watch every new video. Watching Lucy makes me happy. Gant is my favourite brand. I'm from beauthiful summer sweden, I wish lucy could come to my birthcity ÖREBRO in Sweden. If you will come please let me know. I can show you some beauthiful places in Örebro. Until then, take care and be safe. Love you. Peace.❤️
Nice video Lucy, lovely weather for it too. PS We've missed you.
I love cph. It's enough european without having that big-city world-vibe that Stockholm might have. in cph you absolutely can splash cash, but if you just treat yourself on one thing, you can do a lot of stuff, without queuing with other tourists. 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.
Added to my travel list.
I can see budget travel being a big hit for your channel. Really enjoying the vids! Wouldn't mind seeing them more fleshed out if you're willing.
It is great to have you back Lucy! I thought you abandoned your own channel.

Nice one!
Love how the flight was £79. Round trip flights from Toronto where I live are the equivalent of about £1,000 depending upon time of year for economy on a 7 1/2 hour flight. Makes Copenhagen itself seem very cheap by comparison.
Happy to see you enjoyed Denmark i do too :)
Great that James is still involved, missed ya!
Brilliant
I've got my watching sorted for tomorrow. Goodnight Lucy ❤
That was great ! I visited as a tourist and worked there a little bit. Best avoided in winter as it is *the* windest city I've had to trudge through in winter darkness. 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.
Fantastic - love your travel blogs 🥰 I would have blown the budget going to Legoland if I was in Denmark (west of Copenhagen) 😂
Did not expect you to visit a place about 10 mins from where I live (Grundtvigskirken) when doing a Copenhagen on a budget guide, since it's a bit outside of Copnehagen
Copenhagen is amazing and agree you can do it cheapish it's food/drink is where it goes up.
For Copenhagen, the Steelhouse is a good budget option for accommodation.
i recored a v-log and it will be *LIVE* next week Mmmm lololol .... nice vid and channel thought Lucy... peace
You got the travel vlog bug now Lucy? I enjoy watching your travelling misadventures 😀
Dublin on a budget might be interesting. I went there a few years ago and it was really good, lots to do but lots walkable from the centre. Casino Marino is good and a bit obscure.
Lucy you should try Paphos, Cyprus. Great value for money - as long as you don't eat at the harbour.
We love it when OUR Lucy Brown spoils us with a video....
Love it 😊 Copenhagen is on my list to revisit. Would love to see an Iceland version …

Really enjoyed watching you go to Copenhagen... but Um... Just a question... Could you please ask James May to say "Hello Viewers" for your next video's intro??? 😂
I stayed in Copenhagen on the cheap back in. 1975. At a youth hostel which the Internet cannot find. It must have been gone for decades. :(
Here's an idea for a future travel challenge, go to a non-tourist town and find things to do there.
I’m saving so much on flight cost just watching you go there
