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.

Here's where I went:

Where should I go next? Cheap suggestions appreciated 😅

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.

A Lucy Brown video is always a must see.

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.

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.

5:01 Danish and English are very similar. For example, 'Farvel' in Danish translates to 'Farewell' in English, and it's pronounced like 'far-well.' Thank you for visiting Copenhagen 😊

Got back from Copenhagen a week ago, after spending 5 days there, it’s a wonderful place to visit and walk round.

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.

You don't have to break the bank to see Copenhagen. Loads of museums are free, and Copenhagen is picturesque enough to walk through. If you ever go back, try the hotdog stands that are littered through out the city. Absolutely fantastic!

Glad you enjoyed your trip. If you want to, you can always try and meet some locals. Social Media is great for that.

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

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.

Wish this video existed before my Copenhagen trip! Now I want to go back and follow all your tips, Lucy 🤩

[Mark_Something-Ermm-Yeah]

YES, YES YES YES YES YES, Lucy Brown travel show, GOD I missed this ❤

[MakeItWithCalvin]

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.

[jeffharper]

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.

YES FINALLY!!! A Travel vlog!
I've waited so long for this. Thank you for this, I loved it!
