Stuffed with unique boutique shops, bakeries and bars, Copenhagen is Scandinavia’s hippest city – and also one of its most picturesque. But a weekend away doesn’t usually come cheap. Unless, that is, you’ve got our expert cost-cutting guide. From affordable hotels to delicious inexpensive eats, we know where to head to have a fabulous Danish weekend break that won’t break the bank.
THE THRIFTY ACTIVITIES
Copenhagen is full of enticing sights, from the atmospheric Tivoli Gardens amusement grounds to treasure-stuffed Rosenborg Castle. However, if you’re on a tight budget, there are lots of free activities to enjoy in the city, too, from sculpture trails to open-air swimming.
Start your visit exploring on foot. You can get a free tour by downloading the Storyhunt app (storyhunt.dk), which gives an insight into the city’s neighbourhoods through audio guides. As you move from point to point, stories are ‘unlocked’ for you to listen to, illuminating local history.
