My wife and I spent several days in Copenhagen last year. We loved the walkable streets, and the various attractions. We used the transit system to visit the Viking Museum in Roskilde, and the sights of Malmo Sweden. The one thing we were surprised by was how expensive everything was. Still, I have to say it is one of my favorite cities in Europe.

2 mistakes tourists make that makes it extra expensive, is staying in Copenhagen (especially the tourist traps), and eating out. If you're on a budget, definitely get your food at a grocery store and prepare it yourself, or at least research cheaper options when eating out. Copenhagen may be the hipster capital of the world. You will get some unique and high quality stuff, but the price will match. But there is a lot more to Denmark, and in a different price range.

Waiters in Denmark are actually being paid to do their job, so that adds to the price, of course (We don't have McJobs by that, as they are also being paid a salary). By that you don't need to leave a Tip, unless feeling for it, for special Services! And the Sub rides by itself without a Driver, and comes close to each other, without problems. You are able to sit in front, by that, looking at coming rails, also below Nyhavn and the water. Near all major roads also have bike lanes to both sides. Actually it is so expensive to park in the Center, and that may also be a reason? Finn. Denmark

Copenhagen is very expensive indeed. There is an added tax on all goods at 25%. It should be mentioned that healthcare is free for all Danish taxpayers as is education and there is social welfare systems in place. This will make things appear very expensive to tourists but since the gross salaries in Denmark are generally pretty good, there is usually a somewhat balance there. However, when you arrive in Denmark as a tourist, who will not have access to the above in the same manner as Danish taxpayers, then everything will indeed appear to be very expensive. However, the general cost of living for Danes is probably a good deal lower than for people living in major cities in America. As with most big cities, you only live in the city center areas if you are rather wealthy.

I'm impressed that you went further than the city center to outer Nørrebro ( where I live), Vesterbro and Frederiksberg. So many tourists only see Nyhavn and the high street but the further you get away from the down town area the cooler and more relaxed it gets. Its where the locals hangs out and the shops are more interesting and the food is cheaper. Hope you enjoyed your stay here in Denmark 😊😊

Nice video. I've never been to Copenhagen, but I have been to many other cities in Europe, like Amsterdam, which were built before the automobile and are much more geared around walking, biking and mass transit. And it's amazing how much more pleasant those cities are compared to what we've built in North America. It's almost like concentrating thousands of loud, noisy machines that spew air pollution and sometimes run people over has a negative effect on the urban environment.

The location of Copenhagen being that far east compared to the rest of the country, is because in older days, it was the middle of the country. Halland, Blekinge and Skåne in Sweden (basically south Sweden) used to belong to Denmark. And at that time, Copenhagen would have been smack in the middle of the Kingdom. Glad you enjoyed the trip to our capital🙂

I got to visit in 1989 and it was very nice then but wow its incredible now! A cleaned up red light district and a subway, wow! They had a nice program called Meet the Danes where foreigners would spend an evening with a local family. Four of us spent hours with a family that lived in a commune and we ate dinner in a common house and it was our family's turn to make the dinner. It was a very cool experience in a and an excellent way to learn about the culture from locals.

Dane here, I lived as a homeless occupant inside Christiania in the last years before gentrification started. back then the only people allowed to conduct business on pusher street had to be residents, the government decided that the area could be worth alot more if it was full of malls, so they arrested all the reliable dealers, and opened up the market to gangs and thugs, now 20 years later the neighborhood has been completely ruined. in the interim the dispersal of the weed market caused gang violence and murders all across coenhagen and spilled into the surrounding regions. Gentrificatio has done nothing but increase overall violent crime, lower the safety of drug use (due to scroupulos gangsters lacing things with opioids), create a division between the alternative communities and the government and in the long run legitimized political violence as a tool.

Great review overall! It's rare to see foreigners actually visit the real Copenhagen and not just the 5 standard tourist destinations that everyone flock to. When I personally think beauty and warmth of Copenhagen, Nyhavn isn't even in my top 10 of places, despite how iconic the location is. Copenhagen has a lot of small side streets and back alleys that have their own unique story and cultural heritage, and these are spread all over the city and you only find them by stumbling into them, and "getting lost" in the city is perhaps one of the best ways to truly experience what Copenhagen has to offer :) I think one "negative" as a native living in Copenhagen, is some of the prices on cafes and restaurants. It does ensure that working staff can get proper wages, but still it seems excessive in certain areas, especially for tourists who may not be accustomed to the fact that eating out is quite expensive and then get the impression that Copenhagen as a whole is very expensive. The reality is, that most people not just in Copenhagen, but in Denmark as a whole, rely mostly on home cooking and goods bought from grocery stores and small vendors, where prices are actually very affordable and in line with most other European countries. Danes spend a lot of time indoors due to the weather and daylight hours in the winter etc, so relying on home cooked meals is the norm and here is where you save a lot of the cost that tourists don't really get to benefit from.

While Nørrebro does have many little parks, it's actually the most densely built-up area in all of Denmark, which in my opinion contributes to why it's great. Lots of inhabitants + walkability means more people on the streets which means the parks become really vibrant and attractive.

I live here. It's a great city with a lovely "town" atmosphere and yet has distinctive parts, history and ambience. Everything is within cycling or bus/metro (with only a single stop) and there's a bit of everything for everyone. But it doesn't have that pulsing "24h metropolis" vibe that cities like London, Paris or NY has - which for me is a giant plus, but I understand that some people are drawn to that.

Howdy Kyle, I have been to Copenhagen many times since my first visit in 1971. It is worth saying virtually everyone speaks English and it is all the things you say it is. On the negative side, it’s a bit dull. There is not that much to see and you were lucky with the weather. Its great strength is as a place to live- on so many levels. But to reproduce it in the US you would need a complete cultural transplant. Can you imagine Americans abandoning cars, detached houses, guns and boring architecture?

Christania was overrun by drug gangs and problems when I was last there in 2013. I saw two minor assaults inside 3 hours - the only physical violence I saw in 9 weeks travelling Europe. Copenhagen locals were telling me that the entire area is propped up by drug trade, tourist expenditure, and welfare, and that they put up with the issues from the drug gangs because without it, the level of income would drop to developing world averages in a city where the cost of living is among the highest in the world, and people won't be able to survive without getting jobs (which most people in Christania apparently didn't have). This indicates that the level of tourist trade is now enough for them to be able to survive without the drug gangs, so they're finally trying to move them on.

I visited Copenhagen in 2016. It was very nice! However, "The best city in the world"?? I personally liked Stockholm, Sweden a whole lot more. (And everything was cheaper too.)

I liked this video, but I've never been drawn to Copenhagen. This will seem tongue in cheek, but a negative to me about cities like this is that they are too good and thus kind of boring. No crime, no litter, no topography, everything neat and perfectly regulated .... drives some of us to despair!

I am like that too. I have always thought if there was an export market in dodgy lads, we could round up a few in Liverpool and sell them to Denmark as they don’t have many. And you are right about Copenhagen- it is very pleasant but dull.

There are people who doesn't want to live in appartment. So they use hostels especially for the homeless where they get a bed and some breakfast, but there are special units in every county that try to help. Nobody needs to be homeless if they don't want to. Copenhagen even have a hostel for homeless foreigners.

It really is a cool city, been there twice. It's a bit easier to get there from Switzerland 😉. You might not believe it, but here in Switzerland too we have hardly any homelessness. Not to say there are no poor people, but our social system (not socialist!) is put up in a way that it should prevent that. This means a little higher taxes for everyone else, but in my eyes it's worth it.

The last 5 years the Gulf stream have superheated and at same time slowed down with 15%. Not enough are written about this climate change dangerous tipping point. If the faster melting ice from Greenland due to the warmer Gulf stream where 2/3´s end at the tip of Greenland pushes back or even stops the Gulfstream it will mean Sahara like temperatures and much stronger and frequent tornadoes in USA and colder climate in Northern Europe. Right now it seems to increase vaporisation from the waters above the Gulfstream causing more clouds and more rain. Also seem to impact the upper atmospheres jet streams that increase the instability of the weather tending to cause very heavy European rain pours with increasing frequency some places and larger draught periods other places. Last year France had to shut down a record number of their nuclear plants due to the rivers normally providing cooling water dried out while Germany and Italy experienced massive downpours causing flooding. Denmark generally have been protected somewhat by it´s flat land that do not cause so heavy up drafts that it trigger clouds to rain.

Thanks for making a video about our capital. I enjoyed it. I noticed that you didn't find a lot of negatives in Copenhagen, but a major gripe I have with the city is the cycling infrastructure itself. Sure, it's extensive and accessible, but it's often designed without care or attention to detail, unlike in the Netherlands. You will rarely find separated bike lanes, even if there would be more than enough space for them. It's also not guaranteed that there will be curbed bike lanes, and the city is not afraid of using paint instead of developing permanent solutions. At intersections, curbed bike lanes are often merged with left-turn lanes, which is ridiculously scary and anti-human. In Copenhagen, there are also a lot of traffic signals and only a few roundabouts, meaning you will find yourself stopping at intersections a lot of the time. Bike lanes also rarely curve around bus stops, so you will be forced to stop whenever people get in or out of a bus next to you. The city is also lacking in great parking facilities. You'll mostly only find outdoor racks with neighbouring bicycles clinging to each other annoyingly because there's not a lot of space between the rack slots. The rack slots are also ridiculously narrow, making it impossible to park bicycles with thick wheels. In the Netherlands, they started building big underground parking garages for bicycles to protect them against potential theft and weather (rusting is an issue). Copenhagen is also too addicted to hook turns, which isn't the safest left-turning manoeuvre. In general, the design choices of the cycling infrastructure are questionable. Please do not mistake Copenhagen for the cycling utopia it claims to be. It's good but not exceptional. Additionally, car lanes are unnecessarily wide. H.C. Andersen Boulevard stands as a great example of this.

thank ou for a very nice video of my city, glad you had a nice stay!, about Christania it has actually never been legal to sell drugs there nor have they had their own laws, there have always been police raids sometimes more often than others, there have also always been political discussion about whether to abolish the place or not, but there have never been wide public support to actually do it, it would simply have been to unpopular among majority of the population and among many political parties, some years ago the city of Copenhagen made a deal with the people living there and they bought part of the land or are in the process of buying it for a symbolic sum way below the value, and yes there will be build some new homes in the area as they don't own all of the land, it is correct that the violence increased as drug dealers compete and the people living there often called the police themselves, in the end it became to much for the people living there and I'm sure for the Government and Pusher street was abolished there is no plans of clearing the area and they do as mentioned have some sort of ownership of at least parts of it, there are still many people there who have lived there always and their children, but many of the drug dealers came from outside that's the problem, I'm sure there are still at least cannabis being sold and maybe harder drugs as well but on a small scale
