What’s your favorite time of year/season in Copenhagen, and why?
Though it is cold, winter in Copenhagen is the best. There are many Christmas festivals and the city takes on a great warm feeling. It’s hard to describe.
Favorite local food or drink?
You can’t go wrong with Carlsberg.
Why choose Copenhagen?
I have traveled many places, but never wished to live anywhere else. Copenhagen is a great city with a unique culture and kindness.

Currency
The Danish Krone (DKK) is the currency of Denmark. The krone is divided into 50-øre, kr1, kr2, kr5, kr20 coins and kr5, kr10, kr20, kr50, kr100, kr200, kr500, and kr1000 banknotes. 1 Krone equals approximately $.15.
Local Transportation
Getting around Copenhagen is safe and easy. The simplest choice will be to buy a City Pass that lets you travel on the train, metro, and busses all across the city for 24 or 72 hours. A 72 hour pass is DKK 200. The transit operates 24 hours a day, and travel information can be easily found using the Rejseplanen (Journey Planner) website and app.
Language
While Danish is the language of the city, the locals speak English very well, along with German and some French.
Weather
Denmark has a relatively mild climate. With average temps topping out at only 68 degrees in the summer, students visiting Copenhagen during the spring and summer will want to bring jeans, t-shirts, and long-sleeve shirts, along with an umbrella and jacket, since rain occurs all year long. Winter visitors will want to bring their warmest clothes, since temperatures hover between the mid-40s to mid-20s October through May.
