24 Hours in Copenhagen on a Budget, Copenhagen, Denmark

People don’t lie who say that Danish people are the World’s happiest people. Everyone we met and saw in Denmark was super friendly and helpful, plus they always were smiling. This fact alone should make you want to visit Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

I went to Copenhagen with two good friends at the end of November. We decided to have a little city break in the middle of our uni semester. So we bought the tickets which cost us 23 EUR each in total (Kaunas - Copenhagen - Kaunas). We had only 24 hours in this beautiful city, so we didn’t waste any time and started exploring it as soon as we exited the airport.

Fun fact: it took about 1 hour for us to actually exit the airport. No, we didn’t have luggage but we somehow managed to get lost in it. It’s the biggest airport I’ve ever been to and it’s confusing. I felt like in a huge shopping mall.

We arrived at Copenhagen at 6-something in the morning, so after our short getting lost in the airport scene, we stepped our feet outside around 7 in the morning.

The first thing we did was buy a City Pass which is a transport card. We bought a 24-hour card for 80 DKK (~10 EUR) each which was the best option for us if we wanted to make it a budget trip. You can also buy a 72-hour card as well if you’re in the city for a longer time. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
