How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Denmark (0.9249211392513759, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.15, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 6.62182508333333 DKK to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
Across the three tiers, the daily gap mostly comes down to lodging quality and dining choices. At $95 a day, spending covers a bed, simple meals, and local transport; at $225, it allows for better lodging and restaurant meals; at $480, it stretches to more comfortable hotels and less budget-conscious dining, adding up to $665, $1,575, and $3,360 over a full week.
The cheapest time to visit is during the off-season months of January, November, and December, when demand for lodging and activities drops. The daily and weekly figures above are estimates meant as planning guides rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary with individual choices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
