Copenhagen 

Hi backpackers! Looking for budget-friendly accommodation in Copenhagen? Then pack your bag and get ready to explore one of Europe’s most exciting capitals.

Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital and largest city, home to over 1.3 million people who move through the streets on bikes, by foot and across bridges connecting the islands of Zealand and Amager. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, design culture and strong focus on sustainability, the city is a perfect mix of historic charm and modern living.

The Danish capital dates back to around 800 AD when it was a small fishing village used by Vikings. Today, it’s a world-renowned destination filled with local neighbourhoods to discover — from colourful Nyhavn and trendy Vesterbro to creative Nørrebro and relaxed Christianshavn.

For food lovers, Copenhagen is heaven. Try the city’s famous street food markets like Reffen or Broens Gadekøkken, taste Danish smørrebrød, or visit one of the many Michelin-starred restaurants.

Getting around is easy and cheap. Rent a bike, hop on the Metro or explore on foot — everything is close by. Along the way, you’ll find cosy cafés, green parks, live music and free attractions like The Little Mermaid, Christiansborg Palace and Freetown Christiania.

Copenhagen combines culture, creativity and community — a city built for travellers who want to experience Denmark the local way.
