Buy Danish Krone (DKK) before you travel to Denmark
Denmark is one of the most delightful destinations for a city break. Many travellers use both credit and debit cards, but it's always advisable to carry some local currency with you. The official currency in Denmark is the Danish Krone (DKK). Before purchasing your travel money, it’s a good idea to check the SEK to DKK exchange rate to ensure you get the best deal. It’s also wise to plan a daily budget that includes accommodation, meals, and transport, which will give you an indication of your upcoming expenses and how much local currency you’ll need.
Practical Budgeting Tips
Tipping isn’t common in Nordic countries, but in Denmark, bills are often rounded up. It’s helpful to establish a daily budget, as this makes it easier to plan your trip. The average tourist in Denmark spends about 1200 DKK per day. Here’s a breakdown of costs:
-
Accommodation: 500 DKK per day
-
Meals: At least 300 DKK per person
-
Local Transport: Allocate around 130 DKK for public transport.
Before you travel, always check the SEK to DKK exchange rate for the best currency exchange rates.

Suggested Activities in Denmark
Denmark attracts many tourists every year. Aside from the museums, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen is one of the most popular attractions. Tivoli is the second oldest amusement park in the world and continues to captivate visitors.
The best time to visit Denmark is from late spring to autumn. However, Denmark is a fantastic destination for city breaks all year round.
While Denmark isn’t famous for winter sports, if you enjoy skiing, Hedeland Skibakken is an excellent destination for skiing enthusiasts.
For a city break with vibrant nightlife, head to Copenhagen, a delightful city with charming cafés and canals, which is a must-visit! Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, is also worth exploring.
When do you need cash in Denmark?
Denmark primarily uses card payments, but it is still useful to have cash during a stay in the country.
This is particularly the case in some small shops in rural areas or very traditional Danish settings. Small family bakeries, roadside fruit vendors, or stalls at farmers’ markets often appreciate cash payments, and sometimes do not accept cards at all.
In certain remote areas of the country, network coverage can also be very poor, making payment terminals difficult to use. Having DKK in cash is therefore especially practical to still be able to make purchases.
Flea markets (Loppemarkeder) and neighbourhood festivals also hold an important place in Danish culture, and the majority of payments there are made in cash. Make sure to bring kroner with you if you plan to attend these events!
