The best accommodations Copenhagen

Budget & Tips

Autumn remains a season less frequented by tourists, and the weather is still mild. Prices are much lower! The apartment option is ideal for groups or longer stays. What's more, the use of a fully-equipped kitchen means you don't have to eat out too often, and the markets are full of tempting produce and ready-made meals.

If you don't mind the snoring of your room-mates, you can book a bed in a dormitory. Youth hostels offer comfort in communal areas, and on the whole, they're not bad at all. Certain advantages: conviviality and service! In principle, you'll have access to a kitchen and services such as wifi, Internet connection, laundry facilities, a library... Average budget: from €45 for a dormitory, from €65 for a single room.

To be booked

Copenhagen is on a roll. Its growing reputation is seeing an increase in visitor numbers. Given the high hotel rates, it's a good idea to book weekdays instead of traditional weekends. However, book well in advance for Christmas, summer vacations and long weekends.

For food lovers

It's time to rejoice: breakfast or Morgenmad is the meal not to be neglected in Denmark. With its special breads, cold meats, fruit and cheeses, it's both hearty and well-balanced. Typically, you'll eat Ostemad, small sandwiches made from a piece of bread covered with cheese; wienerbrød, a kind of pastry made from puff pastry and marzipan. They often contain cinnamon, cardamom, almonds or pecans; Havregød, an English-style porridge. When it comes to hot drinks, Danes are big fans of coffee.

Smokers

Hotel legislation is the same as in France: smoking is prohibited in public places unless special facilities, such as smoke-extraction booths, are provided.
