In 2016 I was travelling around Australia when I met a young Danish couple who were doing the same thing (they covered 46,000 kms by the time they left). The biggest shock they experienced was the vastness, the sense of isolation and in some parts of the Outback the feeling that they were the only humans on earth. A bit different to life in 99% of Europe.

I think the top comment from tourists visiting us here in Denmark, especially Copenhagen, is how expensive it is, which is true. 😊 Though, some of the places are tourist traps, so the prices are nudged up a bit. The place you had your open faced sandwiches (smørrebrød), Torvehallerne, I tend to avoid, since it's VERY expensive, although it's nice quality food.

There are a lot of Smørrebrød places with similar prices in CPH. Most of them will give you a proper plate, though instead of that silly piece of cardboard. There are also less "classy" options. Some supermarkets have pre-made smørrebrød and you can get them as cheap as $4.5 per piece. They are not going to have quite as extravagant toppings as what you had, though.

One of the things foreigners come away with after having visited Copenhagen is the walkability of Copenhagen. It's easy to forget that the medieval part of Copenhagen was a fortified area surrounded by a moat and bastions up to the mid 1850s. This part of Copenhagen burned down on a few occasions in 1728, 1795 and when the British navy bombed Copenhagen in 1807. Copenhagen is very much a city that was built for pedestrians. This sort of changed a little bit up through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s but has slowly changed again so the city today is very focused on pedestrians and commuting by bicycle. At least the inner part or medieval part of Copenhagen was never designed for cars, trucks and busses. That part of Copenhagen was originally designed for horse drawn carriages and pedestrians.

The important bit you mention is that in the 1950's and 60's Copenhagen really did try to become a car heaven. but they stopped and reversed course. Most eastern US cities were built to be walkable. but because city planners didn't stop and think all of these cities haven demolished to allow for roads and parking.

Interesting seeing your perspective. I'm a local, I live just north of the city. It definitely seems like you got a little ripped off with the Smørrebrød sandwiches, the ones at Torvehallerne you went to are basically the most expensive in town and its also kinda touristy and a tad fake. There are definitely more affordable places around though these generally aren't open on weekends. Like Lillians Smørrebrød near Blox, Domhusets Smørrebrød in the old town, Ritz which is very close to City hall square, or Rådhus Smørrebrød also near the city hall. All of which feature much more affordable and traditional options at around 16-45kr per sandwich, so about 2-7 dollars per sandwich depending on the place and the type of sandwich. Like these kinds of places arent usually instagram hotspots, they're more traditional, less hip, but also less of a ripoff. At Ritz for example you can get 3 different ones and a beer for 48kr total. Also yeah Christiania IDK if I'd say its harshest days are over it. There have been a lot of trouble there recently, including violent gangs like Loyal to Familia extending their reach into the freetown to do their trade, as well as their violence and conflicts with other gangs. Plus an increasing number of police crackdowns in the area. Beforehand most Christianites were opposed to police intervention but the gang problem has become so big that the police intervention is required for everyones safety. Also if youre curious the crunchy stuff on the hotdog is roasted onion slices. And the mayo style thing they put on is called Remoulade. Its a very danish thing. We used to have thousands of hot dog stands around Danish towns and cities but nowadays there aren't as many around. They're becoming more of a rarity. You can still find them at most major squares in Copenhagen but way back in the day any small town with a square would have at least one, and in cities you'd find them every few hundred meters.

Coffee is very expensive, however Danes don't buy coffee every day on their way to work, and if they do it's more often coffee at a gas station. Most people make coffee at home before going to work, or just drink free coffee at their work. So coffee shops are more for hanging out after work/school with friends on occasion, rather than a place you stop by daily. The same is true with food, though it is easier to find relatively cheap food compared to (good) cheap coffee. Torvehallerne is a really expensive food hall, you could have gone to a lot of other places with cheaper food. It's definitively designed to be boojie, but also has very high quality and delicious food! There's a lot of rumours about Christiania - like it's a lawless place - many of which are not true. The same laws apply in Christiania as everywhere else in Denmark, so they are not allow to sell drugs. But there's a fear that removing the illegal activity from Christiania will create an uprising and make it spread elsewhere, so it's been a back and forth battle for many years between the citizens of Christiana and the government (reason for the negative government graffiti). Everyone knows what goes on there, but as long as no one gets hurt it's allowed. However that has been more difficult in the recent 20 years due to worsening gang violence and multiple shootings (the recent one in 2023), so the worst days are not behind Christiania. The citizens of Christiania are considering selling more of the land to Copenhagen, to allow for greater support in getting rid of the increased violence, and to get better housing. The "crunchy, flaky, crumble thing" is just fried onions 😆 The danish hotdog is a great mixture of sweet and sour, very different from hotdogs everywhere else in the world. The winters can feel especially cold in Denmark, even if the temperature isn't that low, because we have a lot of humidity in the air which makes the wind blow a lot colder. So it's worth also checking the humidity and wind before going outside, as +2 degree celsius can feel like -10. I'm glad you enjoyed your brief time in Copenhagen! If you ever come back you should take your time to visit other parts of Denmark, there's so much more to see than just our capital city.

It started as a project but quickly failed and has somewhat been taken over by gangs to sell weed and other stuff. Police do raids which is also why they use foldable tables so they can quickly get away.

Thank you so much for stopping by our small but beautiful country :) I would suggest if you ever come back, that you try "smørrebrød" (the open faced sandwiches you had) from a butcher shop instead of places like the one you went to. Those really just try to rip you off and don't actually serve the "real" kind - you just got fancy smancy ones, which don't have what we usually would eat. The ones from the butchers are usually also WAY cheaper and more delicious as it's fresh and you get value for the money. I hope next time you come back, that you come during spring or autumn as Copenhagen is just GORGEOUS at this time of year. Summer - living hell, it's too damn humid and hot at the same time and our houses are built to insulate the heat. Also during spring (around April/May) you would really get to see how the Danish outside culture blossom, and it's still outside the summer vacation time (June-August). Also - if you do feel like it, I would definitely suggest visiting some people who live here and try some homemade traditional meals. Trust me, you would like them A LOT.

Everything in Denmark is expensive for most foreigners, it's true. We Danes don't notice it that much, though, because our wages our quite high, too. So we manage.

How sweet you are, and kind to our old city. It's lovely to see it through your eyes. It is rather expensive, true, but if you know where to look you find cheaper alternatives, though the expensive places are also kind of part of it. The higher prices in some areas drives the economy elsewhere and often the expensive places are started and run by people with a passion and a no compromises attitude. I'll immediately go look up your other travel videos. Malmö is also a great city. Many of us go there often, especially for the christmas markets.

If you get out of the touristy places, it's possible to find places that serve free coffee and less fancy smørrebrød or crustyrolls for reasonable prices. What people pay for is the view and convenience in midtown. The good addresses are insanely expensive to rent. McDonald's has long been mocking the coffee outlets for their prices here, which is easy for them as coffee isn't their main product.

A hotdog stand in Iceland has taken the title of the worlds best hotdog several times. The traditional danish grilled hotdog is almost the same combination; sweet ketchup, strong mustard, remoulade, red boiled or regular pan fried wiener, raw diced onions, crispy fried onions and topped with pickled cucumber slices. Yes, the bread is too small, it takes practice to get all that into the bun. It's the full combination that makes it a classic Danish hotdog. But of course it's possible to find hotdog stands that offer more variety.

Try to get a table at Sticks and Sushi - rooftop restaurant at the Tivoli Hotel. Amazing view of the inner harbor and lovely food. Enjoy your stay.

If you're in Copenhagen on September 26th then go to Christiania as it's the community's birthday. There's going to be lots of people but also lots of music, art and happy vibes 😊

Love the video! Visiting in a month so this is really helpful + all the comments!!

no Christania is part of Denmark and have the same laws, that's why they don't want you to take photos of them doing illegal stuff-there are often police raid, they also have to pay tax, but they don't pay much to live there

yeah it's deffinetely illegal, I imagine the reason why it haven't been totally shut down yet is because all the "bad apples" go there to do the stuff they shouldn't so it doesn't spread to the rest of the city.

Cheveyo and Tia. Thank for a front-row seat on your holidays. Keep finding the hidden beauties around you, especially when your budget limits your activity 🇭🇲🐨

It's awesome to see my hometown through the eyes of foreigners. Thank you.

Wow you saw a Thomas Dambo Giant! We have them here in Mandurah, Western Australia!

Thanks for the great review of our beautiful Copenhagen Copenhagen 🇩🇰supports

Cheveyo, we need a highlights video of Tia's food reactions like at 16:40 for everything she's eaten over the last couple of years. Would be good for a laugh.

Beautiful Copenhagen, one of my fav cities in the Nordics. But hey, you missed the gem city called Aarhus, which is like a smaller picturesc version of Copenhagen.

Århus is fantastic! The city also has a castle Maselisborg there , which belongs the old queen (Margrethe)

Do try to return to CPH in the summer. It is a much more "outdoors" vibrant city then :) We do have 6 months of darkness and cold to get through every year ;)

Spent a week in Copenhagen last June. Loved it!

3:42 It's called smørrebrød. A direct translation would be "buttered bread", "bread with a bunch on it" (smør is butter while smørre is a pile of something) or something like that. Basically it's just buttered rye bread with different kind of toppings like deli meat etc.

As far as the prices etc. if you head further out intro Nørrebro, Nordvest or the other way like Sydhavn and look at the hostels there the price is often cheaper than the tourist-y places closer to central station. Certainly the one I work at will stow your luggage for free if you need to. There are paid for lockers too if you prefer. It is a bit further from the city centre but still only a short metro ride or a bus trip to get back to the centre. Food wise - Torvehallerne. Good food but tourist trap kind of. There are other choices around for sure. Coffee yeah about 30-40 for a good cup (not that I drink coffee….) but again sometimes you just need to go to the smaller places not the fancy places.

What a ridiculously photogenic city!

When you guys do those walk away shots I sometimes wonder if you both get so immersed in where you are and what you're talking about whether you'll forget about returning to the camera 🤣 If I was walking along the Nyhavn River with my love, I know we would! 🥰

Nyhavn is a harbour inlet, not a river, though. It lit. means "New Harbour".😀

Glad you enjoyed Copenhagen. I'm an American living here since autumn 92. Love the place. Rundtårn and Nyhavn were exellent choices. Thanks for all the beautiful footage of wintery downtown Copenhagen. Next time come in the summer when the days are longer and go to the top of Our Saviors Church.(Buy tickets beforehsnd online.) Or make your base in Roskilde.❤

First time coming across your channel, beautiful video you made. Our hotdogs don't have mayo it's remoulade, commonly mistaken by visitors. Looks like you enjoyed your time here, all the best from CPH DK.

Interesting, thanks for the correction 😊

The reason for the lack of stairs in Rundetårn (the Round Tower) was to make it easier to transport the heavy astronomical equipment to the top of the tower. There are also many stories of royalty riding their horses to the top of the tower. Most famous is the Russian Tzar Alexander that made the trip up the tower on horseback in 1716.

Keeping it real with the budget. I appreciate it.

The bougie cardboard plates are likely for environmentally friendly alternative to using (and polluting) a lot of water washing actual plates.. Though I will say, a lot of places in CPH def. does make a spectacle of being SUUUUPER environmentally aware, cause it's very trendy on top of being good for our little blue marble.. :) I don't know how much better this alternative actually is, so don't slaughter me if I'm wrong about that bit

New to the channel, but i have a fun fact about the idea of the skateboard in the Rundetårn. There was a danish kids tv-program 10 years ago called "Ramasjang Rally". In one of the episodes was there two teams competing to see who could push their homemade rally car (sæbekassebil) up AND down the Rundetårn. I remember it as a really epic episode, but it was very hard for one of the teams with the car being 44 kg/97 lbs without a kid in it. My arms could never.

Welcome to Denmark. Hope you had a wonderful time here :)

I just got reminded that in Denmark eating out is a luxury thing, unless it is grill food, so finding a place to stay that have a mini kitchen is probably going to save you a lot more in the long run :)

Rundetårn is built with a ramp to accomodate the Muscowite Tzar Peter The Great. It was built for a state visit to enable him using his carriage to the top.

Hello, welcome to Denmark. Hope you enjoy yourself. My shop is about 50 m away from the market where you had open sandwich 04:59 .

Min 15:30 Red Sausage, ie. Danish Magic, I could have eaten those for 3 weeks straight when visiting my grandmother. FYI:The miniature bun is simply to not get your fingers burned or dirty.

3:18: I live next the the Market Halls (Torvehallerne). It's where I buy food ingredient items for special occations; Christmas, Easter, my birthday, New Year's...

It definitely is expensive here, no doubt, but we're also not prone to go out to eat often, like it's a special occasion thing, and getting coffee out is mostly for when you sit down at the café. Our wages obviously also match the price range more, than for most tourists. For Christiania, you're allowed to film and take pictures everywhere but what is called "Pusher Street". The big wooden troll is also a part of a bigger project, there's a lot of different ones scattered around Denmark, and you can get a pretty good long walk out of just going around to see them, which are walks we call "troll hunting"

7:35 The main reason for the ramp is actually believed to be esthetic (inspired by the Tower Of Babel fables) rather than functional (making it easier to transport instruments etc, and a king with podagra, to the top).

7.11 is Rundetårn, Rund=Round Tårn=Tower The "e" between the 2 nouns are called a well-soundness letter.

Make sure you guys get to.the Fiords of Norway. Ithe place is beyond incredible and there is over 1000 of them.

Hiii. The fish at 5:17 is a monkfish or "havtaske" in Danish :) Amazing taste and consistency. One of my favorites.

Regarding prices keep in mind that first off Copenhagen is the most expensive city in Denmark by far, and secondly average wages in Denmark is a LOT higher (even with taxes) than in the US. Cost of living is definitely high, but wages match and we also have a robust social safety net (ie. you're get a survivable-on amount of money from the state even if you dont have a job).

The crunchy, flakey thing is also onions. It's fried onions. You can buy it in most grocery stores, and they go great on top of leverpostej (which is sort of a minced liver paté that is a stable of most kids' lunchpacks ;) ). So rye bread, leverpostej, fried flaky, crunchy onionthings. It's great. You should try it out :)

We just went to Iceland and we found touch screen gloves are so handy :) For Tia :)

Just came across your vlog, thanks for visiting and yes, Copenhagen is expensive, but sustainability, recycling and limiting CO2 emissions cost a lot of money. I love my city and I also love the prices, because when I travel out of Copenhagen, everything is cheaper. 😂Have a safe journey and remember, the further north you travel, the more hugs you give each other 🥶🫂🥰

The crunchy "stuff" in the hot-dogs are fried onions, so one eats 2 type of onions: fresh + fried in the same serving

Always go to Denmark or Europe in general in the months, maj to september. It is a wonderful place in the summer.

Oh man, the way Tia looks at you is just amazing, I wish I could find someone that looks at me like that haha, beautiful

I hope you are going to Bergen in Norway, particularly if you like Copenhagen. It’s an amazing place, I would live there in a heartbeat. Loving your videos as always 👍

at about 7:38 in the video you passed some holes in the inner side of the ramp where there is a hole going all the way to the bottom, they installed glass panels in there so people can go in there and look down, i can't remember the reason for the hole, but you can look it up on the internet, kinda an impressive view - this coming from a guy that lived here in Copenhagen since i was born and im in my 40's now XD

Don’t worry, Tia, I noticed he was on a platform too! 😃🥰🇦🇺
