Free museums, the best hot-dog stands and how to see the city by bike for the price of a coffee.

Copenhagen has a reputation as one of Europe’s most expensive cities. It does not have to be.
Free things
The botanical garden and the Christiansborg tower are free all year, and the Round Tower’s spiral ramp costs less than a coffee.
Eat like a local
A pølse (hot dog) from a street wagon, smørrebrød at lunchtime, and a picnic on the harbour at Islands Brygge.
Move by bike
City bikes are everywhere, and the city is flat. It is the best way to see Nyhavn, the Little Mermaid and Christianshavn in one afternoon.
