Wetin one day for Denmark really cost

Denmark na one of Europe cities wey cost pass, but if you plan well e go manageable. Prices dey usually show for Danish kroner (DKK), wit almost 7.45 DKK to 1 EUR (fixed peg), so to calculate am no hard.

Money, card and tip

Denmark almost cashless. Card and mobile pay (Dankort, Visa, Mastercard) dey work almost everywhere, even for hot-dog stand and small kiosk. You rarely need cash, but small small cash dey helep for flea market.
