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.

When do you need cash in Denmark?

Denmark relies heavily on card payments, but it is still useful to have some cash during your stay in the country.

This is particularly true in small shops located in rural or very traditional Danish areas. Small family bakeries, roadside fruit sellers or stalls at farmers’ markets often appreciate cash payments — and some may not accept card payments at all.

In certain remote areas of the country, network coverage can be very weak, making card terminals difficult to use. Having DKK in cash is therefore especially practical to ensure you can still make your purchases.

Flea markets (Loppemarkeder) and neighbourhood festivals also play an important role in Danish culture, and most payments there are made in cash. So make sure you bring some kroner with you if you plan to visit!
