Personal comments

Make sure to do the basics - work out cheapest bus passes, free days at museums etc. If you're staying for more than 2 months and especially if over the summer - buy a second hand bike. It's the best way to see the city. Also, make sure you have lights at nice - or else you'll get fined.

Copenhagen is among the top five most expensive cities to live in in the world. Obviously travel can be quite cheap because Europe is on your door step.

Food, Telephone, Overall, Housing, Nightlife:

was more expensive than at home.

Travel:

was the same price as at home.

Personal comments

Head to supermarkets like Aldi, Netto and Fakta. Avoid the big ones. A coffee in the city will set you back a lot- try heading out of town a bit to find the smaller, cheaper places.
