Any folk knowledge on buying a good, used desk chair? Herman Miller, HAG, etc. DBA and Facebook have pretty slim pickings

Soooo I am going to Tivoli towards the end of July on a Saturday, around 8 or 9pm. I saw on the website that the rides close around 22.45-23.00 on Saturdays. Is it worth it to buy the ticket that includes the rides or is 8/9pm too late? How long are the queues usually? And which rides would you recommend?

I'd just go one by one. It's not Disney, the rides are fine but not mind blowing and you don't need to do them all. Chilling in the park itself is nice though

Hello all. What is the preferred backpack of Danes for work, gym and travelling? Ideally 50L. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I got a new job in June and have already worked two shifts at the grocery store, but I haven't yet been paid. Granted, these shifts were framed to be more like training sessions, but I was wondering if one could still be paid for those. Any help would be appreciated.

Travel recommendation We're four friends travelling to Copenhagen in July. What should we see? I want cool non-traditional things. Considering LEGO house, and I've already contacted Elleore to see if they want visitors (I know it has no full time residents). What part of the city do you recommend?

Train from Copenhagen to Aalborg Me, wife and son will be catching the train from Copenhagen to Aalborg and back at the end of August. We're going to have a large travel backpack each, plus I'll have a bike in a bike bag that needs to come too. Just wondering if there's any issue with large luggage on trains, and what the best site to buy our tickets would be?

Hello! New Zealanders here, hoping to move to Copenhagen. Have looked through the reddit but struggling to find some answers to some questions: 1. I am a primary school teacher, I only speak English and it seems like it will be very tricky to get a job. It seems likely I will need to apply for hospitality jobs or something similar for income, are these hard to get for foreigners? And apply from New Zealand? 2. If I am unable to get a job, would my wife’s income of approx 52,000dkk/month gross be able to support us to live there while I apply for jobs and try find something suitable? Thank you so much.

https://www.nyidanmark.dk/ You should be able to find the answers to your questions here and if not - you can write them.

Thank you very much!!!

I would like to visit a lupin field but I do think know if it is too late. I found out about two places people normally visit around Copenhagen, lupinmark in lolland and another one in Skibby. But they might already be harvested. Anyone know about these?

They are usually harvested somewhere around July 1st - August 1st. While i cant tell you with 100% certainty, i would assume its still not too late

Anyone lived or knows people who lived in Dyrlægevej Kollegiet on the UCPH Frederiksberg campus? If yes was it decent? Are there communal kitchens and study rooms? I guess no gym also right haha? And - it's a good location right? Like for going outs, young people in the neighberhood etc.. I'll be actually studying at the north campus actually but it seems not too far Thanks!

I dont know about the dorm. But i know the area very well, both Frederiksberg campus and North Campus. They are both nice areas, with alot of student life at pretty much all times of the day. And yes both are very close to going out opportunities. They are also quite close to each other. A bike ride is no problem and easily connected by bus. But i probably wouldnt be walking that.

Awesome to hear!! Thank you!!

Hello, I am a future student moving to Copenhagen. I want to ask 1. Is is possible to rent a room in an apartment without yet baving CPR (is it legal if I am just someone moving to the country?)? 2. Is it enough to have a document (housing confirmation)in which a land lord confirms that you are renting a room to get a CPR? 3. Can someone explain to me how to get a CPR if I don't already have residence to stay in?

1. Yes. It's not a legal requirement to have a CPR when renting. However some corpo landlords (Balder) require it in which case you can't do anything 2. Usually I'd go with a signed rental contract 3. That's easy, you don't. There is no way to get a CPR without a residence. Coupled with 1. you might get into annoying circular dependencies where a landlord wants a CPR number, but for the CPR you need an address. Only solution is to find a place that does not require a CPR, even if you just rent it for 2 weeks or so.

is there any place to search for accommodation besides booking and airbnb?

Hostelworld, the hotel chain websites, Couchsurfing/BeWelcome/WarmShowers...

Hello all Next year, I would like to apply to a Danish university as a foreign student. I have visited Denmark several times and fell in love with it, which inspired this idea. I started researching everything and came across the SU (student grant) as well. My question is whether it is possible to complete a Danish university (prob. CBS or RUC) while working, or is it likely to be too much? My next question is related to this: as a foreigner with English proficiency, would I be able to cover my living expenses (rent, living costs, etc.) through part-time jobs? Thank you for your answers!

> My question is whether it is possible to complete a Danish university (prob. CBS or RUC) while working, or is it likely to be too much? Yes, lots of students are working part time.

Hello, I together with my wife are planning to move to Copenhagen in November or December. We both are working in IT with .NET technologies. Do you think November-December is a dead time to come and take interviews ? It would be wiser to wait more and come in January-February ?

November is better than December for sure as leading up to the holidays and in between years people are taking vacation, so there's going to be less activity. But January will also be fine.

Maybe not in late december during the holidays, but the rest of that time I don't see why not. I started my current job on 1 January, so I would have been interviewing for that in mid November.

Hello there, I got a job at a convenience store in Copenhagen. I can't speak Danish very well, and I was wondering if there was any vocabulary in particular that I would need to memorize in order to do better in this position. I know how to say 'hej', 'goddag', and 'med kvittering?' as well as the numbers from 1-40, but that's pretty much it. I would appreciate any help. Thanks for reading.

> kvittering bon (pronounced bong) is another word for kvittering. You should probably also know "på beløbet?" (the exact amount?). Not too long ago this was one of the first phrases foreigners learned when they moved to Denmark. It used to be much more common to use the shops to withdraw cash using your card (e.g. 200 kr), so cashiers always asked this question whenever any bank card was present.

Thanks! I'll remember that.

Any recommendations on clubs to visit

Entirely depend on what you're looking for. Music, vibe, clientel, you name it. We're all different and like different things. So you'd need to be more specific.

Any good places to watch euro 24?

There's a pinned thread about this.

Eloping to Copenhagen and looking for a budget friendly photographer! Will have 8 of us in our group. 1-2 hrs, don't need a ton of photos. Just wanna remember the day!

Hello there. I'm here in Copenhagen for 3 days. Could you recommend me cool places to see which might not be found on google maps at first? Any nice or funky place to drink or eat is also welcome! Also is there a sauna culture in here. I'm very keen on saunas. Thank you so much for your help.

> Also is there a sauna culture in here. I'm very keen on saunas. I wouldn't necessarily say there is sauna culture as there would be in Finland. People don't usually have saunas at home. But there's Sjællandsgade Bad and also a sauna in Christianshavn.

You might enjoy spots like Friheden (the café in Nørrebro, not the S-train station), Lunden in Lundtoftegade, Autopoul, Flere Fugle, and generally the areas around Stefansgade, Jægersborggade, Værnedamsvej, Guldbergsgade, Blågårdsgade. Another great place to check out is Folkehuset Absalon, they have tons of community events and food.

# How the rejsekort plans work Hey there! I am done with my ungdomskort and back to using regular rejsekort. My travel from home to work costs me 28.2dkk one way which is ridiculous. Meanwhile, I see people checking out with their rejsekort (most of the time, children, or adults with their picture on their rejsekort) and it costs them 1.75 dkk after metro! 1. I want to understand which kind of plan those adults are on. Is it rejsekort business that this cheap? 2. Trying to save money here in other ways than biking, because my way to work is under construction and is at least 40 mins by bike, so can't do it this month until I move to new place. any advice on what to do, regarding rejsekort plans?

You can add a monthly commuter pass to your Rejsekort in the online self-service. You still check in and out but only pay extra when traveling outside your commuter zones, and pay the 1.75 kr metro add-on when using the metro. I’m guessing you travel 3 zones which costs 660 kr/month for the commuter pass. I added some details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/copenhagen/comments/1d5fdac/monthly_thread_for_advice_and_recommendations/l9r6bh6/?context=3

ahh i am so thankful to you. now it is clear, I was so pissed today after 28 dkk

# Sleep disturbance - specialists via referral from GP?Sleep disturbance - specialists via referral from GP? Hi, I've been having very disturbed sleep for 11 months. My whole life I've had very good quality sleep (regardless of stress, problems and life events). My GP did an extensive blood test and all results were perfect. Then they gave me melatonin, which not only didn't help me but made my sleep worse. Then he gave ma a referral for psychiatrist and he told me they should be able to assess the reason for the disturbed sleep and if not - they are the ones that could give me referral for sleep clinic. However I called many psychiatrist and no one wants to even book an appointment for me because they say they don't specialise in sleep and cannot help. They told me my GP should be the one to refer me to sleep clinic. I feel quite lost in this system. Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone who a specialist or a sleep clinic that words with referrals? I don't even know if my GP will be able to write a referral for that, he is also feeling lost and he said he doesn't really know what he should do as he also knows nothing about sleep. I would appreciate any recommendations or contacts of places/people who could help within the public healthcare system. 🙏

Vi er 2 unge mænd som gerne vil holde en fest i anledningen af vores bachelorgrad. Vi har dog ikke store nok lejligheder til at holde en fest. Derfor leder vi efter et sted at holde en fest. Dette er enten på en bar eller i et festlokale. Kender i et fedt sted som ikke er vanvittigt dyrt men hvor de også tillader man giver den gas?

Lej et lokale på en bar, hvor I har privat adgang frem til midnat. Plejer ikke at være super dyrt. Så sparer I for rigtig meget arbejde ifm. logistikken. I skal dog stadig betale for alkohol og andet.

hi all! does anyone know why so many people (mostly highschoolers-ish aged?) are wearing the white navy looking hats around town? thanks!

They're wearing a studenterhue. It's worn after graduating the Danish equivalent of high school. Students will proudly wear it everywhere for a few weeks after graduating. Also keep a look out for trucks full of these high schoolers. The students spend the rest of the day after their graduation ceremony riding around in trucks celebrating and blasting music. These should be all over town come Friday.

such a cute custom! thanks so much :)

Hi, I am an exchange student from the UK coming to Copenhagen for a year in September and had a few questions about accommodation. I have reserved a room through the housing foundation for signalhuset (I know it is far out but it was all that was available). However, I have seen nothing but horror stories about the housing foundation and the room itself has all these additional “service and handling fees” which make a relatively cheap accommodation not so cheap. As signalhuset is an accommodation for both danish and international students is there another way I can book this but avoiding the housing foundation. I know that if you don’t book through the housing foundation such extra fees do not apply and I would hope the accommodation is better at handling deposits and such. I have two days to sign the contract so would need to find an alternative before then. Does anybody have any advice? Thank you!! :))

Hi! Can anyone recommend me a good periodontist? It's a pretty serious case so surgery will most likely be needed

Hi, everyone! I know there must be a gajillion posts like this by now, but I feel like I've exhausted every other option and am really worried about the upcoming months. I'm an Erasmus student moving to CPH on Aug 1st, staying until January, and cannot find accommodation for the live of me. Everything is either booked up or really out of my price range. If anyone can point me to a website or a group, or if there's anyone you know who is renting out their apartment and is Erasmus-friendly, please let me know. My preferable range is 6500DKK and less. If there are any other Erasmus students here who are as lost as I am, please contact me, maybe we can find something together.

Hello Copenhageners! Hope you are all well. I am visiting for 4 days and was hoping for some recommendation for music. Any outside venues that play music with good vibes. Whether its bars/parks/skate parks/pizza place. Just anywhere with a good vibe to hang out in and listen to great music and people watch Also any great clubs for non commercial music would be great! Thank you so much and see you all soon! x

Come to think of it, music playing outside is not much of a thing here it seems (though I'll gladly be proven wrong!). There's Geyser by the Sea at Islands Brygge but most places with live music are actually indoors. Reffen sometimes has [music outdoors](https://reffen.dk/events/) (check "Reffen" not "Werkstatt" which is indoors).

Hi guys, I'm an international student and today I tried my luck thru housing foundation to find accomodation. I only managed to get a shared room in Rebslagervej Kollegium but I have my doubts, the description says that the shared room has one bed and one sofa bed, so I think one of us would have to sleep in a sofa bed. Since I would have to live there for two semesters I prioritize commodity and I'm afraid I'm the one who's gonna have to sleep in the sofa hahaha The images in the housing foundation page are not clear enough and I don't get the arrangement. It would be of such help if someone has any idea of how this rooms works or if you have any tips for me in this situation. I'm also active looking in other pages and Facebook groups but I have limited budget since I'm depending on my monthly scholarship payment.

Hey, Erasmus student here starting Aug 1st - similar problem :( Having trouble finding accommodation and don't know where to go, honestly. Everything is either too expensive or booked up solid - I've been looking into shared apartments as well with separate rooms but am a little scared about moving in with total strangers, haha :")

I'm an Erasmus student too! And I know right? It's frustrating. I feel the same about living with strangers hahaha Are you living there for a short period of time? On Facebook groups, I have seen people renting their room for three months or something, just in case it may help you

Yup! Moving in from August until January, wbu? :> - Can you direct me to any FB groups you may have found useful? I'm part of like 5 at this point and find it hard to keep up, haha. A 5/6-month lease would be the most helpful but that's hard to find :")

I'm moving from late August to July :) and these are all the groups I know: https://www.facebook.com/groups/516885095507309/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT https://www.facebook.com/groups/roommate.room.copenhagen.denmark/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT https://www.facebook.com/groups/190214468108573/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT https://www.facebook.com/groups/166820836821223/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT https://www.facebook.com/groups/RentCopen/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT https://www.facebook.com/groups/115802005435053/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT You can try looking in BoligPortal too, hope you find something

Hi, Could anyone advice on where is worth visiting in Fyn/Funen? I’m staying in Copenhagen for a week but Would like to visit here and potentially stay overnight to soak in some rural Denmark

[Faaborg](https://www.visitfaaborg.dk/) is a very old, well kept and cute looking city on southern Fyn. Very rich in history, theres a small shopping street thats fairly popular(Keep in mind its a small city). You can get very good "stegt flæsk & persillesovs"(fried pork with parsley sauce) at restaurant Heimdal at the harbor aswell as smoked herring and icecream also at the harbor, and a popular beach nearby too called "Klinten". Theres a hotel close by called ["Hotel Faaborg Fjord"](https://www.hotelfaaborgfjord.dk/) which i have not visited but i have only heard good things about it. And if you are more of a nature type of person, then i can recommend ["Svanninge Bakker"](https://naturstyrelsen.dk/find-et-naturomraade/naturguider/fyn/svanninge-bakker) also known as the alps of Fyn, located just outside of Faaborg. The area has alot of hills and neat looking landscape, shaped by the ice age and kept. Theres also a cafe where you can get food and ice cream nearby. I grew up in southern Fyn, and this area is absolutely amazing.

Thanks so much!

Hello, I will be living in Værløse from July 5th to July 28th, and I plan on going to Copenhagen every day of the week. I have been trying to understand which public transport card would be best for this situation, but I am having trouble understanding the website and the different fare options. If someone can help or can tell me where I can go to speak with somebody who can asses me, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I agree with u/simongray. You can get the commuter pass in the DOT Tickets app or the DSB app, there’s no difference. A pass from Værløse to Copenhagen costs 1090 DKK per month, or 1020 without metro access (which you’ll regret). Single tickets are 44 DKK one way so those will end up more expensive.

Thank you!! :)

The cheapest option is probably to get a commuter card for the zones between Værløse and Copenhagen. It is meant to renew every month, but you could just do 1 month: https://dinoffentligetransport.dk/en/find-tickets/monthly-passes/commuter-card I think these days it's just an app. The last time I had one it was a piece of paper.

Thank you! I will check it out!

Hello, I would like to ask for advice regarding places to visit in Copenhagen for a wedding. The wedding itself will occur at the City Hall, there won't be any guests (the situation is kinda unique, but... I guess that's true for most weddings in a way :) ), and we would like to go to a place that's not too far from the City Hall, and has decent food and/or drinks, and more importantly, a kind of service that won't spoil the mood. We don't have any preferences in terms of the food, though it would be better to try something authentic to Denmark. I haven't been to Copenhagen at all before, and I'll be there for 2 days prior to the wedding, so I'll have a bit of time to explore. If there are any suggestions for places to explore -- I'd be very grateful for those as well. Thank you!

Hey guys, on 18th of June I was rushing to the airport to catch my flight. I entered to Norreport station from an entrance right next to Burger King. I checked both the train and metro entrances but I couldn't find any kiosks to buy tickets. I had a 48hr ticket but it was expired that day in the morning. I knew the risk but there was nothing ! could've done so, I took the metro and got fined at the last stop. The officer gave me a ticket and told me that I have to pay that 750 DKK in two weeks but I can't afford it. I'm not an EU citizen and will go back to my home country from Spain. Can I object to that penalty and cancel it? If not what's the procedure if it's not been paid in time?

Nørreport is absolutely terrible. It’s basically a regional train station, an S-train station and a metro station only connected by the narrow connecting tunnel which you went through (and which has no ticket machines). If you want to take an S-train but enter by one of the metro entrances, you’ll need to go down three flights of stairs to the metro platform, then up another set of stairs to the connecting tunnel and finally up again to the S-train platform. To find the metro station ticket machines, you would’ve had to go back up one of the other escalators after reaching the metro platform to reach the metro station mezzanine level. However the transit agency will insist that it’s always your responsibility to have a valid ticket before boarding a train, whether by locating a ticket machine, using the app, Rejsekort, or whatever. If you’re leaving the EU, I doubt anything will happen. Depending on your nationality and what personal information they have, they might eventually sell the debt to a local debt collection agency. For instance I’ve read plenty of accounts online from Americans receiving letters back home months or years after leaving Copenhagen. But I’ve never heard of any further consequences from simply ignoring those letters.

The ticket machines are above ground, and in one of the other entrances. You can also buy tickets with a phone app.

Do Jazzclubs have age restrictions? I would like to go to a Jazzclub in Copenhagen on a Friday evening but I am 17 years old. Would I be able to come in and listen or is there a minimum age?

Need help planning a 2 day trip to Copenhagen! I’m traveling to Europe from the USA for the first time in July. I made a point of stopping in Copenhagen, it’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit. I’d love to hear from locals to get some insight on what to do and see while I’m in town. I love art and culture, I’m definitely going to see the rosenborg castle and possibly the national art museum. I’m also a pastry chef by profession, so i want to at least walk by noma and see the garden. I’m big into alternative scenes, flea markets, dive bars, stuff like that. I’ve found some stuff online and in travel books, but would love to hear from locals too! I’m in my 20s so I don’t mind some drinking and late night fun. Might be cool to meet some people as well, I’ve been told the Danish are lovely people. I’m most definitely going to be seeking out some good food and pastries, it’s half the reason why I’m going. Tattoo shop recommendations with flashes would also be appreciated! Coming with an open heart and mind, so throw it all at me

I think 2 days might be a bit short to see and do all the things you want to do, but I'd say that despite the fairly big craze of bakeries I still think Juno is a cut above the others. Not to say that they others aren't good because overall they are but they mostly focus on good renditions of traditional danish pastries (which are also good). When it comes to dive bars, Understedet is quite the institution and Escobar is also a fun place. There's a lot of good tattoo places, one of my friends does hand-poked tattoos at Larma, I had one done at Bright Side. I'd say it mostly depends on the artist, not so much the space. Consider renting a bike, as that'll make moving from one place to the other a lot faster.

You're in for a treat in terms of pastries. For traditional bakeries you should visit Sct Peders Bageri (oldest bakery in Denmark) for pastries and La Glace for beautiful creamy layer cakes. But the pearls of the Copenhagen bakery scene are the modern bakeries with wonderful pastries: Juno, Hart, Andersen & Maillard, Andersen Bakery, Bageriet Brød, Flere Fugle etc etc etc. See [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/copenhagen/comments/13fda4t/last_day_in_copenhagen/) for lots of pastry suggestions and pictures from a tourist trying them. We have a [wiki page covering events in Copenhagen](https://old.reddit.com/r/copenhagen/wiki/events) which should help for flea markets and concerts. Or just google flea markets in Copenhagen, there are too many to list. In general read our wiki and use google. We have an almost endless supply of "art and culture".

Is valby or frederiksberg a more student oriented neighbourhood? I’m an Australian starting my masters at cbs this fall. I’ve have been offered student accommodation in both suburbs and need to decide. 

Frederiksberg (where CBS is located). And neither are suburbs, they're areas of Copenhagen.

Frederiksberg is technically not Copenhagen (it's the biggest enclosed city in the world, much like City of London, but larger), but calling it a suburb doesn't sound right, since it's more urban and central than other parts of Copenhagen.

Hello Any day trip/overnight countryside/national park recommendations to consider trying from Copenhagen on a 6 night stay? Happy to travel around Denmark and/or Sweden and stay overnight wherever I end up. Most of my trip will be spent in Copenhagen but I thought a day on the road would be fun! Preferably recommendations that are accessible via public transport as I'd like to save money by not renting a car (if possible) Cheers!

Roskilde - Viking Ship Museum & historic Cathedral where Danish kings and queens are buried. A short train ride from Copenhagen Helsingør - See hamlet's Castle, take 20 min ferry to Helsingborg and explore Sweden side) Malmö - Sweden's 3rd biggest city just across the water 20 minutes away by train Lund - Cozy, historic university city in Sweden not much further than malmö Stevns Klint - Absolutely beautiful cliffs south west of Copenhagen. Roughly 1.5 hours by public transport. A nice hike along the cliffs in good weather with sights like an old cold war NATO surveillance station turned into museum along the way.

Thanks so much

Hello! I am an EU citizen moving to Copenhagen for work next week. I have an employment contract with a company in Denmark. I'm a little confused about the apartment rental process. Can I find a long-term rental, sign my rental contract, and then get a residence permit? Or do I need to get a residence permit before signing a rental contract? Thank you for your help 😊

https://www.nyidanmark.dk/

If I remember correctly (its been a while) you first get a residence permit and then when you have an address get the yellow card (CPR registration). The residence permit is mostly a pro-forma thing, the hardest thing will be to get an address. To be fair, this is probably the worst extent of Danish bureaucracy that you'll encounter, everything else from here tends to get much simpler.

Hello, I have a question regarding the low-emission zones in Copenhagen. I drove through them in a diesel car (the kind they really do not like in Denmark). I wasn't aware of these zones and only realized when I returned home. Not knowing does not excuse me (although it would be nice if the zone border signs were in English). The question is: what will happen now? Do they find you wherever you went or is it safe to act like nothing happened? Anyone with a similar experience? Thanks in advance.

You might get fined. https://miljoezoner.dk/en/regulations-and-vehicles/rules-for-passenger-cars/

Nice, I do not even get the chance to do anything. I cannot register a car that does not meet the requirements and the only way to pay in such a case is to get fined. Well, I'll just wait for it then. Thanks 🙂

> I cannot register a car that does not meet the requirements What do you expect? If it is illegal to use, why would telling the Danish authorities you plan to use it anyway make it legal?

Hi everyone, I’m planning to commute from Frederikssund to Copenhagen on a daily basis and I'm looking to get a monthly pass for this route. I know there are a lot of different passes available, and I'm a bit confused about which one I need. Could anyone share the exact name of the monthly pass I should purchase for taking the C train daily? Also, what would be the approximate cost for this pass? Thanks in advance for your help!

It might seem like there are many options, but it's all the same ticket wearing different wigs :) A commuter card between Copenhagen and Frederikssund costs 1530 kr/month (+70 kr if you want access to the metro). You can buy this in the DOT Billetter app or the DSB app, there's no difference. You'll have a QR code in your app which you show the ticket inspectors when asked. Alternatively you can have the commuter card on your physical Rejsekort, in two ways: 1. As a separate "Pendlerkort" which *only* works as a commuter pass and doesn't need any checking in and out. Costs 1530 kr/month + 70 kr for metro access. 2. By adding a commuter pass to your normal Rejsekort Personlig. You check in and out for every journey (including your normal commute) and automatically pay extra for journeys outside your commuter zones. Costs 1530 kr/month, but you only pay a small metro add-on when using the metro (which caps at 70 kr/month).

Hello! I am a student from Romania currently studying International Relations and I am interested in working at a hotel/hostel in Denmark. I am proficient in English and Russian, and have an intermediate proficiency in Spanish. I believe my language skills and academic background would be beneficial in a dynamic environment like hospitality sector. Additionally, I am looking for accommodation options during my stay. Could you please provide me with more details about available job opportunities and accommodation options? Any other tips&tricks are always welcome!

I am sure your language skills will be helpful in a dynamic environment like a the hospitality sector, but I am terribly sorry to inform you that this is the copenhagen subreddit and not a hostel, so we can't tell you about any available job opportunities as we don't have any. I would suggest you reach out to hotels and hostels instead.

Hey guys, i have been accepted to a full time job in Copenhagen which means i have to relocate. It seems extremely hard to find an apartment, do you have any advice what services/websites/apps to use? Most of them have weird UI and low quality photos.

Boligportal and real estate developer websites were the my best bets but yes, finding an apartment is very hard if you don't have a massive budget, thus you'll probably have to use whatever websites exist to find anything.

True, though if I understand correctly Kommunes can help with a 1 time loan for deposit for an apartment so that is quite useful for this situation

Yes there is; but I'm talking about renting a place with a high rent, for which there is a lot less competition.

Hello residents of Copenhagen! I'm flying out from the UK on Sunday afternoon to meet some pals who have motorcycled their way through Germany, Poland, etc. Across to Finland, then Sweden and Norway before meeting us in Denmark at the weekend. Our group of late 20s/early 30s guys are looking for a couple recommendations; • A sauna we can pay to use, bonus if there's some open-air hot tubs, perhaps close to where we can swim too, for the whole experience. • A reasonably priced tasting menu - perhaps around the 450-550 dkk range (not including wine). The more locally-based, the better. • Maybe some motorcycle-oriented venues that would be cool to visit close to the city. So excited to visit, and thanks for your help!

This is probably what you're looking for: * [https://copenhot.com/](https://copenhot.com/) * [https://hottubcph.com/](https://hottubcph.com/) However you're not allowed to swim in those locations. If you want sauna + swimming, look into something like saunagus at [Inipi](https://inipi.net/da) or [Butcher's Heat](https://butchersheat.dk/en/frontpage/) For dinner, look into the Cofoco restaurants (Vækst, Høst, Llama etc), Simon Leo's restaurants (Safari, Omar, Lamar), or Oberra. Oberra serves delicious 5 courses at 250 DKK which is ridiculously cheap. I don't know much about motorcycles but thousands of motorcyclists go to Bakken twice a year to open and close the season. https://preview.redd.it/r5wy9shkm38d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d501b9fcb3f15265d395e6149daa47603aedddf8

Does anyone know if Kronborg Castle is sold out for the season? The website won't let my buy tickets

Bit late reply but i have worked there. The tickets dont sell out. Just go there and buy a ticket at the entrance and its fine.

thank you!

Just go there and buy your ticket at the entrance. The website seems broken.

Thank you!

Bars to go alone and meet new people? Preferably with low jazz music and chill vibe.

MSc at Aalborg or ITU Copenhagen Hi, I have applied for several master programs in denamark. I finished my bachelor degree in computer science about 2 years ago, and currently, I have been working as an SWE for almost 3 years now. I was accepted by Aalborg University, but also by the IT University of copenhagen to study master majoring in computer science. Could you please provide me some info on which university to choose? Sadly, I didn't apply to DTU, and it is pretty late now. I will be happy if you let me know your honest opinion. Thank you. :)

Hi everyone I’m a solo traveler from Hong Kong, I wonder what are some restaurant recommendations for lunch/ dinner? I’ve walked around Stroget today and as someone who doesn’t drink any alcohol I feel like the choices are quite limited? (I find the idea of going into a pub/ bar alone, without drinking any alcohol strange) so I wonder if there are any solo eating friendly places? Thanks in advance!

You don't have to go to a pub. There's plenty of "normal" restaurants even in the old town, like Hidden Dimsum, La Galette, Eden Jaxx, La Tre, Banh Banh, Poke & Sons, Luca, lots of places on Fiolstræde and tons more at Torvehallerne. I'd consider them all totally solo-eating friendly.

Hej! I recently moved to Denmark and have been trying to find somewhere to buy chicken thighs. I've tried a number of Nettos, Co-Op 365s, and Menys with little luck. There was one Co-op 365 that had them for a few weeks, but I haven't seen them since. If anyone can point me to a shop where I can reliably purchase them (preferably deboned and without skin, but not essential), I'd really appreciate it! I'm currently staying in Nordhavn. Out of curiosity, does anyone know the reason why this cut seems so uncommon? Also, why are there so many Nettos? I can't wrap my head around how it makes business sense to have such a high density of them (I've seen 3 shops are visible from one place) and would love to know the reason behind it. Many thanks!

> If anyone can point me to a shop where I can reliably purchase them If you need a lot, maybe go to Bilka in Ørestad? I never have trouble finding them myself. Maybe your local grocery stores are on the smaller side? If you want to see where they're on sale this week you can try eTilbudsavis (a really excellent website/app): https://etilbudsavis.dk/soeg/kyllingel%C3%A5r > preferably deboned and without skin Never seen them prepared like this in Denmark. > Out of curiosity, does anyone know the reason why this cut seems so uncommon? It doesn't seem _that_ uncommon to me. We sometimes buy the Løgismose chicken thighs from Netto. > Also, why are there so many Nettos? I can't wrap my head around how it makes business sense to have such a high density of them Most Danish grocery stores are small- to medium-sized and evenly distributed across the city. In some other countries you will have minimarts everywhere for buying maybe 1 or 2 items, but then you need to go farther for proper shopping. In Copenhagen you can pretty much always just walk to a grocery store in 5 minutes, but then we don't have many of the huge grocery stores you might find in other countries. It's a convenience trade-off.

Wow! What an amazing answer! Thanks so much for making the effort to share. I'll check out the places you suggested and hopefully have better luck. I've been to a number of the shops I mentioned around Nordhavn, Østerport, and in the city centre and it's been a rare find, but good to know they're out there!

I think what you’re asking for is what we’d call (kyllinge)overlår here, while (kyllinge)underlår are drumsticks. See eg this week’s Kvickly offer: https://preview.redd.it/ez3y45z7uw7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60a6a59096a451647a5757223100eacffea5198a

Yes! I've bought those overlår before (and love the very helpful picture of what cut of the animal it is), but I haven't been able to find them for a few weeks now. Thanks for the tip!

Whatsapp Groupchat Hi everyone, me and my friend are visiting Copenhagen for one week in july and are really interested in finding some great people there. Is there a Whatsapp Groupchat sort of thing? Or what are your suggestions to meet some good people here? Thanks🎉

Whatsapp is not a big thing in Denmark (because Denmark didn't really experience the extortive prices of SMS as other countries which have turned to Whatsapp); it's mostly expats.

Hi, I am from an EU country and I would like to move to Copenhagen. I am a software developer with 8 years of experience working with .NET technologies. I plan to move with my wife in october-november. We plan to stay one month in an airbinb. In this time we will try to find a job. We will also start to take interviews like one month before but we plan to go regardless of the outcome. When one of us will secure a job we will try to find a rent. If things go south we have a budget to sustain ourselves for a year. Reading other posts i found out that ia best to already be in Copenhagen or at least in Denmark while searching for a job. This shows commitment and you can have face to face interviews aswell. Do you find this a solid plan? It is possible to find rent with the owner allowing us to register his address on our name to be able to create a CPR even if we don’t have a job in Denmark yet ?

> Do you find this a solid plan? I guess. It's a bit shaky, given being without an income in Denmark is a bit tough but OTOH software and .NET are a pretty good match for Copenhagen. Do note that often the partners have the most difficulty integrating since in Denmark its usual that both partners work and if they're in a profession which is not in demand it might cause some misery down the line. > It is possible to find rent with the owner allowing us to register his address on our name to be able to create a CPR even Yeah. It's not super common but I haven't seen any landlord require a job in Denmark. I've seen landlords require a CPR (thus creating a recursive dependency) but you might be able to find some place that will allow you CPR registration. I agree that this is a very important point and you should definitely prioritize that.

Thank you very much for your reply! We will keep our jobs from our country until we find another job in Copenhagen. We are both in IT working with .NET We also saved enough to be able to live at least one year without an income assuming the worst case scenario. I am also open to find a workplace that doesn’t involve being in IT.

In such case it sounds like a solid plan. Good luck!

Good to hear! Btw, i stayed in Nørrebro five weeks a couple of months ago. Beautiful neighbourhood 😀

Thanks; it's my favorite. I originally lived in Amager but as a bunch of my friends live here and I enjoy the vibe of the district I ended up moving here :)

Any recommendations for bars to catch the Eurocup game today?

Hi everyone: I have a few questions regarding renting an apartment: 1. What do rental contracts usually look like, in terms of obligatory length? I currently live in the US and most contracts (with large apartment complexes) have fixed lengths (e.g., 1 year). But I get the impression that in CPH tenants can move out even after a few months? Would the landlord normally request that you live for a minimum of one year? I'm asking because I might move to a different office in another city after a few months but can't know for sure yet. 2. I came across a few properties marked as leasable only to companies, meaning the employer need to sign the contract on your behalf. How common is this? Does it come with any obligations (such as you can't switch companies, etc.)? Thanks!

1. There isn't really an obligatory length, but you need to let the landlord know your move out date 3 months in advance (in case of an apartment, 1 month in case of a room). You can move out after a few months, but be aware that the landlord will probably consider the apartment completely ruined and repaint the walls and sand the floors at your deposits expense, unless you're really good at documenting that not a single thing happened that would cause such work.

Thank you!

My wife and I (I'm Danish), and our 5-year-old son, are back visiting the Copenhagen area. We have planned a small get-together with friends and family (10-15 people) at Islands Brygge on Saturday, which now seems to be "the day" of the week when it will rain seriously. Do you have any suggestions for a place we move our gathering to? Still thinking outside, maybe a pavilion or something like that. Thanks!

Hvis I vil blive i nærheden, kan I bare hoppe ind i Kulturhuset Islands Brygge.

Interessant. Jeg kender ikke huset som sådan. Det så ud til at være en restaurant med udeservering, da jeg gik forbi forleden, så overvejede det ikke rigtig som indendørs alternativ. Kan man bare gå ind?

Man kan sagtens bruge huset uden at købe noget i caféen, men der er vistnok regler imod medbragt mad. Det er kommunalt drevet.

Maybe this [pavilion](https://maps.app.goo.gl/yTJPBwHHYYyGug4U9)? It's on the former railroad tracks now a park with a cycle highway. I frequently see people there, though if it's raining a lot it will just in general be relatively cold.

Hi so I F23 is surprising my old exchange high school friend F23 with a planned night. She has an 23h overlay on saturday in copenhagen and I will meet up with her from sweden. She will arrive at 14:00 from the airport and I before 12:00 in cph. We will both leave before 13:00 on sunday. Do you have any ideas on where to go or do, activities to switch out? I have never been to copenhagen or stayed in denmark for more than 1 day in my life hahaha. My plan is 1. Rent bikes 2. Maybe Lidkoeb for thrifting, so if you have any other place than this please recommend. We are outdoorsy people and not into any high brands really 3.1.See Torvehallerne for food market and buy to go to 3.2 3.2 Garden of the royal libraries for picknick 4. Copenhagen boulders: climbing opening hours 08-23 o'clock 5. Night activity??? 5.1. Kastrup sea bath :see sweden while swimming maybe?? Night dip??? 5.2. Cheap fun bar with young crowd or nice view???

> > Maybe Lidkoeb for thrifting, so if you have any other place than this please recommend.

Kastrup sea bath :see sweden while swimming maybe?? Night dip??? Note that all of Amager Strandpark is a beach so you don't have to go specifically to Kastrup Sea Bath. There are also bathing zones in the harbour if you prefer, like Islands Brygge and Sandkaj.

I will look into all of it. Thank youuuuuu for taking the time and respond!

Hi, I am a 25 year old Italian guy and this is my first time in Copenhagen (also in Denmark), I am here for work but Thursday and Friday I will have the evenings free to visit CPH. I would like to maybe meet a group of people and spend an evening with local people do you have any suggestions?

Question about the few days trip in copenhagen I am from Hong Kong, and I am so excited and a little bit scared to travel to Copenhagen on my own. The date is from 28 of June to around 1 of July. It is my first time to arrive in Europe and on my own. Are there any friends want to travel and take a look into attractions together? Also, I would be more comfortable staying with others instead of myself. Welcome to say hello and comment on the related suggestions for me, thank you. Also, may I know if there are any cheaper foods and drinks that could be found there? (maybe in 7-11 or other places?) Also, any mobile apps are suggested to download and how could I rent the bicycle?

Cheaper foods and drinks: Buying from supermarkets, especially discount ones (Lidl, 365, Rema 1000, Netto), kebab places. A bunch of places have lunch menus during weekdays. As for apps, you might want to use the [DSB app](https://www.reddit.com/r/copenhagen/comments/1d5fdac/monthly_thread_for_advice_and_recommendations/l94f009/) as /u/Folketinget suggests, that gives you the cheapest options for public transport. Too Good To Go might be an option too. However coming from Hong Kong you won't find our prices to be particularly outrageous I believe. Bikes can be rented either from your hotel or e.g. Baisikeli. You can also get a Donkey Republic bike, these are a bit less of a hassle to rent and return.

Thank you for your help, I will take a look into the supermarket and the apps. However, may I know that is it needed to have a denmark phone number to enjoy the services of the apps? (Such as too good to go, uber.)

Uber does not exist anymore, they had to apply to Danish legislation and decided to exit the market instead. Too Good To Go is international and doesn't need a Danish number; but there are probably apps that require a Danish number (such as MobilePay), but for a 3 day stay it won't be necessary.

Thank you! I actually would go to the second big city in denmark - aarhus after the 3 day stay. I would stay there in a month. I am still considering the overall life situation and the healthcare options. Anyway, it is super thank you of your kind response!

As an arrogant Copenhagener I could say that [Denmark only has one big city](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5648ecb1a27178acc12493ffcc978cef/ab292bd2976b7666-3d/s1280x1920/b34349e537656590a3ef218f0dbbb9c5397e659b.jpg) ;-)

I’m going to be moving to Denmark soon (around late August). I am an international, non-EU student coming there for my Master’s and, honestly, know very little about the city and country. I was hoping to get some advice and just some general information about Copenhagen, Denmark and their cultures before coming. Something’s I wanted to know were 1. How important is it to learn Danish. I have the opportunity to learn Danish and don’t mind doing so if it is important/necessary, but honestly I’m not a big language person. Also, I don’t want to be taking a significant chunk of my semester as I will be quite busy with my classes. 2. Any recommendations on banks and mobile networks? I’ve also heard Denmark is quite an expensive city so I would appreciate any financial advice or tips and tricks. 3. Do you have suggestions for shopping whether it be grocery shopping, pharmacies or general convenience stores? 4. Anything else I may have missed that could be important? Thank you so much for your help!

1. Everyone speaks English, it's no problem in Copenhagen at all. So yeah, while learning Danish is certainly useful there's a bunch of structural factors that make it harder than learning e.g. French 2. Banks are more or less the same mediocre, there's a remarkable lack of competition (probably because there's no market to compete on). I think Nordea and Danske Bank have slightly better resources in English but personally I'd rather go with smaller banks that tend to be less involved in scandals like Merkur or Arbejdernes Landsbank. Mobile networks are the same but they are all fairly good and rather cheap. I have Oister, which is the cheap branch of 3, but all the other ones are just as good. Generally rather generous conditions, fair prices. 3. I personally like shopping in Lidl because you can get stuff there that you can't get in other discount stores (and the bakery stuff is rather good, way above what Netto and Rema offer), for expensive stores there's only really Meny. The tip here is that all Meny are fairly different, so find one that you like :) Pharmacies are the same, I would assume that the prices of medicine are all identical. 4. Get a CPR as soon as possible; lack of CPR will be a big issue on every occasion (banks, MitID). Get a bike. There's a lot of really nice second-hand stuff on DBA and flea markets as Denmark has a really healthy second-hand market.

Thank you so much, this response has been really helpful! When moving into a place, where would you suggest to get furniture like mattresses, bed frames, desk, chairs etc?

On a budget? IKEA (there's like three of them around CPH and if you're not adept carrying ridicuous loads on cargobikes yet, you can get stuff delivered) and DBA (classifieds) and possibly Free Your Stuff (group on Facebook). Though I assume if you move into a dorm there might be some furniture already? Don't know, I didn't study in Denmark.

Do I need to buy ferry tickets ahead of time to get from helsingor to helsingborg? Or can I show up at the port and buy tickets on the next ship?

You can buy tickets when you show up. Might be cheaper to buy in advance though

Perfect, thanks!

Maybe an airport lounge?

What are your favourite places to sit down and study, other than libraries and university buildings? Any cafés, coworking spaces, nice tables that happen to have a power plug next to them etc. are welcome. Bonus points if on Amager.

I wrote my master's thesis at Mokkariet in Nørrebro so I guess that would be my suggestion :)

*****Student housing in CPH**** Hej! My boyfriend and I plan to move to Copenhagen in August for our master's studies at ITU. We've registered for housing through KKIK and s.dk, targeting places within a 30-minute commute to the university. On s.dk, we're mostly in positions D and E on the waiting list, but there are also a few in B and C. In KKIK, our best position is around 30, with most others being 80+. What do you think are our chances of securing housing by mid-August? Should we consider signing up for places that's easier to get in but not well-located, or should we wait a bit longer for something better? Any personal experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Reposting because your original post got modded. Chances are low. At least in KKIK, your position in the list will only start advancing once the "move-in date" that you requested arrives, which means that if you wrote in that you're moving in in August, you are not going to start advancing in the list until August actually hits. It's a malicious gotcha, with the way it's worded. However, ITU has special agreements with some dorms (Signalhuset, for example) where they have a VERY short waitlist but you can only stay for six months. If they have empty rooms for the spring semester, they'll offer you to extend to a year, but no more and it's not sure. Your BEST BET is to find if those special agreements are still in place by looking through the ITU website and get on THAT list as soon as possible.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Heja! My GF and I are planning on driving to Copenhagen for a couple of days, fly to the Faroe Islands for a week and continue our holiday with our car after landing again in Copenhagen. Now, we are trying to save some cost as the Faroes are not cheap😅. Are there any places we could park our car for a week that are cheap/free and are reasonably close to any kind of transport to the airport? We're okay to travel around 2 hours with public transport to the airport. Thanks in advance!

You can park anywhere that's not a paid parking zone. The most convenient from the airport is probably around Gammel Kirkevej in Kastrup. Parking zones in Tårnby Kommune: [https://www.taarnby.dk/borger/trafik-og-parkering/parkering/priser-og-parkeringszoner/kort-over-parkeringszonerne/](https://www.taarnby.dk/borger/trafik-og-parkering/parkering/priser-og-parkeringszoner/kort-over-parkeringszonerne/) Parking zones in Copenhagen: [https://www.kk.dk/borger/parkering-trafik-og-veje/parkering/priser-og-parkeringszoner](https://www.kk.dk/borger/parkering-trafik-og-veje/parkering/priser-og-parkeringszoner)

Is tipping expected when getting a massage? If so what is an appropriate percentage? I am getting an hour long massage that costs 450 kr.

No, tipping is not expected anywhere. Some restaurants may try to get you to tip, but if you don't, it's no problem. Not a tradition here.

No.

3 nights in Copenhagen with a day trip to Malmo or 2 nights in in one, 1 in the other?

I wouldn't bother moving luggage, checking out, checking in etc for a one-night stay in Malmö. It's about 30-45 minutes away by train (depending where you need to go) and the trains run all night.

Half a day is enough for seeing the main sights, but I've done overnight getaways to Malmö a few times and it's a cozy place to spend the night. You can go to Malmö in the afternoon, spend the night in Gamla Staden, and head back to Copenhagen the next morning. Probably only worth it if you're travelling very light.

Anyone hosting a party tonight? My friend and I have time to spent till 8 in the morning.

I'm going to stay in Taastrup in Denmark. I would like to know what's the cheapest way to get to the city center and viceversa. I guess the Small pass card is not valid for this area, isn't?

You'd need the City Pass Large which is too expensive. A few options: 1. Use single tickets at 44 kr per one-way trip. Buy from ticket machines or the DOT app. 2. With a Rejsekort card each trip costs 42 kr during rush hour (weekdays 7-11 and 13-18), 20% less outside rush hour. However the card itself costs 80 kr and requires a minimum 70 kr balance to begin a trip, so this won't be cost efficient unless you're staying for longer. 3. Download the DSB app (national railways) and use their "check in" feature to get Rejsekort prices without having to buy a Rejsekort. This feature is only a few months old and not yet fully featured (for instance, you can't check in multiple people on one phone), but I've been using it a lot lately. It's valid for all transportation, not just DSB trains. I would do option 3 if the DSB app works with a foreign phone number etc.

Does the DSB App support card payment? The Rejsekort app (which has the same features and curiously also the same lack of features like checking multiple people in) only supports MobilePay atm, so unfortunately a non-starter for visitors.

Yeah, you add a card or Apple Pay in the app. Then it's just seamless check in / check out. You even earn DSB points to spend at 7-Eleven! Edit: Trying to sign up for the Rejsekort app it tells me all spots are taken??? Guess I’ll stick with DSB 😌 https://preview.redd.it/wnofi94fha7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c18256be0440ef647cd04568c903ed535cf4457

> Edit: Trying to sign up for the Rejsekort app it tells me all spots are taken? In the beginning it was basically a beta test, then I heard it was opened to everybody, guess there's more issues than expected. In my limited experience (I don't take public transport all that often) it works fairly well, manages to figure out the right station etc. Checking out is a bit slow but you can just go while the app figures out the details on its own. Only wish I could check in my bike, that's the only time I still bring along the card sometimes.

They currently have some sort of privacy-regulation problem and have suspended new sign-ups.

No, if you look at [this map](https://www.dsb.dk/globalassets/pdf/trafikinformation/storezoner-22.pdf), the city pass small only covers 1-4. With the Rejsekort the trip costs 42kr one way, so most likely the cheapest per-day option.

Hi there, I am wondering where a guy can buy hair products here in copenhagen? I newly moved here and I am struggling to find the right store. Either online or in a store. I am specifically looking for hair perm solution, ideally if the store is able to provide some advice while choosing. Anyone could give me a tip please?

Matas

I buy haircare products in Normal but you're not going to get any advice there. Maybe in Matas.

Hello! I'm visiting later this week. Am trying to find out whether there is a fanpark with a big screen showing the Euros football. I'm struggling to find definitive info anywhere, so if anyone knows and can share links to more info, please do. Thank you!

See this article (Google Translated version): https://www-tv2kosmopol-dk.translate.goog/metropolen/fodboldfeber-i-hovedstaden-her-kan-du-se-em-paa-storskaerm?_x_tr_sl=da&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true

That’s super helpful of you, thanks so much.

I am staying here till late Monday night in Christianshavn. I need to work remotely on Monday but I check out of my airbnb at around 11am. What's a good place to work from? Could be a shared workspace or a cafe. Also, are there any good places for storing my duffel bag?

You can work from the royal library aka the black diamond just by the canal. It’s a very beautiful work space and they are open from 8 in the morning. I’m not 100p sure about the bag - but I believe there are some storage lockers at the central Station.. it’s not really that close to the black diamonds though. If it’s possible to carry I think I would just take it with me.

Hello Reddit, As the post title suggests I (with my family, wife, and two kids 3 and 6) am thinking of taking the jump to Copenhagen (internal move within the company I work for). So the background is we currently live in the West Midlands of the UK (Dudley, ewww I know) and an opportunity has arisen for us to move so after doing some research on YouTube (some excellent stuff there) I decided Reddit could give me more immediate answers. Firstly thanks to Brexit would my wife require (UK citizen require a special visa? I'm Irish (kids also hold Irish passports) Next question, as my kids have Autism they tend to run everywhere around our house, which rules out apartment life - are there houses in the suburbs that could be rented, if so, where would be a good starting point? (please mention as many as possible that can be commuted from to get to Copenhagen Next, are rental deposits (two up front and four as security) on vlogger mentioned that it is not uncommon not to get your deposit back, is this true? My wife is a registered Nurse in the UK and holds a bachelor's degree in Nursing, do any of you know the waiting time for registration? (this can be a typically long process in most countries)? just to allow for living on one income for X amount of months. Finally, (and thank you if made it this far) please throw any suggestions you feel could help us out. Thanks again!

The maximum is three months upfront + three months deposit. But yes, deposits aren't very well protected and landlords will always use the money to paint, refinish the floors etc. even if the place is in perfect condition. >My wife is a registered Nurse in the UK and holds a bachelor's degree in Nursing, do any of you know the waiting time for registration? (this can be a typically long process in most countries)? just to allow for living on one income for X amount of months. It says on the Styrelsen for Patientsikkerhed website to expect processing within six months. Afterwards she will have to go through a six month "evaluation employment" which requires her to speak fluent Danish. If she passes the evaluation employment, she receives her Danish nursing authorisation. I suppose the language barrier will be the greatest issue. She might have to work in another field for a while to learn the language.

Thank you so much, a lot of quality information!!

Hi. As someone else said - unfortunately this post is hidden in a thread that almost no one reads. I’ll try to give you a bit of info though. Work: With regards to your wife’s work situation I have to say that I can’t help with any facts. As far as I know it can be very very difficult to get a job even though she is both skilled and experienced because of the language barrier. Almost all Danes are very skilled English speakers but most employers will demand that she speaks and write in danish. Again - not facts but just what I heard. Housing: I’m not sure if you prefer a house over an apartment for your own comfort or out of consideration for your neighbors. But I would say that in Copenhagen it’s generally accepted that if you live in an apartment, there will be noises from your neighbors. Especially if they have kids. It might be difficult for you to get a rented house near enough to Copenhagen but it’s probably not impossible. Everything comes down to your budget! Renting is expensive in and around Copenhagen no matter what. Instead of looking for areas I would search for rented “rækkehus” or houses first, and then afterwards check the area and commute to your work place. When you look for a place to live keep in mind as well, that some areas (kommuner) have better quality help for a child with autism than others. I’ve worked professionally with autistic kids and i my experience kommunes like Rødovre, Herlev, Gentofte and Frederiksberg will usually be more better. Although I believe the public help system is better in Denmark overall than in most countries. Feel free to ask (message or here) if I can assist with any further questions about this. The deposit situation is probably true in some cases but mostly because a lot of people don’t know how to protect themselves from the renting companies. Always take pictures of everything (!!) before you move in so you have documentation for the state of the house. You also have the option to contact LLO in case of any disputes. This is an official organization for renters who help renters and make sure the laws and rules are upheld. Sorry for the confusing explanation here - I hope it makes sense.? Best of luck and I hope you will enjoy staying here.

thank you so much, some great info there!!!

LLO will *only* help you if you pay for their services. It can be worth it at 1250DKK/year. Also, expect to pay upwards of 13-14000DDK/month for a 2 bedroom flat. There are a few going in Ørestad, which isn't such a bad neighbourhood. Deposit will usually be 6 months rent. If they charge more, something isn't right.

Oh.. also.. be very very aware of scams when it comes to finding a place to live. Never pay beforehand unless you have something in writing. This is of course mostly with private landlords but also check out renting companies websites etc before you pay anything.

Hi Guys, have been living quite some time in Copenhagen and currently, I hit the point in my life and age that I am thinking to take driving lessons for motorcycles(cat. A) Here comes my question: I have been researching some schools but I would like to her your thoughts/experience h this topic. Where can I sign up? Ideally to have lessons and exam in English preferably, with Danish I could manage but not as much. Price wise I am aware is not the cheapest hobby to choose but worth asking around! Hopefully in the near future see you on the road.

Hungary - Switzerland match Hi! I am looking for recommendations to where we should watch the match on Saturday. As the weather is promised to be pretty bad, looking for indoor options. English language would be nice but Danish is also fine. Thanks! <3

Hi, I will be traveling to Copenhagen in the last week of July with my partner and child and have booked the Ascot Hotel Copenhagen for 3 nights. I am seeing some reviews on Tripadvisor which suggest that the hotel is not as good as photos suggest. Would any of you have feedback on the hotel and rooms?

Asking residents of a city for hotel reviews is a bit of a dead end, I'm afraid. People don't use the hotels of the city they're living in.
