Don’t forget to buy your Danish krones (DKK) before your departure to 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 pounds to krones 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 of the pounds to krones to find out the best rates for a more profitable currency exchange.

Some suggestions
- Many tourists travel to Denmark. In addition to the museums, the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen are one of the most popular destinations. Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens is the second oldest amusement park in the world, which still attracts many visitors today.
- The best time to travel to Denmark is from early summer to autumn. However, Denmark is suitable for city holidays all year round.
- If you need some peace and quiet and a breath of fresh air in the middle of nature, the best option is to go to the Møns cliff in South Zealand. The area offers breathtaking views of limestone cliffs up to 128 metres high.
- Denmark is not known for winter sports. However, if you like downhill and skiing, Hedeland Skibakken is an excellent destination.
- Those who prefer the nightlife and have the pace of life will also find it in Copenhagen, for example. Aarhus, on the other hand, is Denmark's second largest city and a must-see.
When do you need cash in Denmark?
Denmark relies heavily on card payments, but it is still useful to have some cash on hand when travelling in the country.
This is particularly true in small shops in rural or very traditional Danish areas. Small family-run bakeries, roadside fruit sellers, and stalls at farmers’ markets often prefer cash payments, and some may not accept cards at all.
In certain remote parts of the country, network coverage can also be very weak, making card terminals difficult to use. Having some cash in DKK is therefore especially handy 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 at these events are made in cash. So be sure to bring some kroner with you if you plan to visit!
