Don’t forget to buy your Danish krone before you leave for Denmark
Denmark is one of the most pleasant destinations for a city break. Many people travel with credit cards as well as debit cards. However, you should always have some cash of the local currency during your trip. The official currency in Denmark is the Danish krone (DKK). Before purchasing your travel money, you should check the EUR DKK exchange rate before your departure for a better offer. The best thing to do is to plan a daily budget. The daily budget should take into account accommodation, meals and public transport for example. This will give you an indication of your future expenses and especially the amount of local currency you will need.
Practical tips for planning your budget
It is good practice to set a daily budget, as this makes it easier to plan your trip. The average tourist in Denmark spends about 1 200 Danish Krones during the day. Accommodation costs will cost you DKK 500 per day.
Meals should also be factored into the budget. A minimum of DKK 300 per person should be reserved for meals. It is advisable to allow DKK 130 for local transport if you wish to use public transport. Before you travel, check the exchange rate from the Euro to the Danish Kroner to find out the best rates for a more profitable currency exchange.
