How expensive is Copenhagen?
Denmark’s capital is one of the EU’s priciest cities[9]. A bottle of water alone can cost around 9 kr from a supermarket. We advise picking up a Copenhagen Card[10] to cut down on spending while you visit — you could save up to half of your costs on tourist destinations!
Why doesn’t Denmark use the Euro?
Denmark initially opted out of the Euro in 1992[11] as part of the Maastricht Treaty. Then in 2000, Denmark held a referendum on introducing the Euro, which was defeated by a margin of 6.5%. The country has a strong desire to retain its historic currency.
