When traveling in any country there will always be tricks to make it a cheap and easy travel. I will share some of the tips and tricks here I have made use of several times.
1. DSB is one of the train services in Denmark with whom you can travel across the country, however can be expensive compared to the alternatives that do exist. However, it is the easiest way and the most convenient when traveling long distances in Denmark. Do order the so-called "Orange" tickets. They are the cheapest to find, but they have to be bought in advance and cannot be changed when bought. Find a Dane to help you find these tickets, because it is not easy to find them on the english version of DSB's webpage.
2. Instead of DSB, I would recommend travelling with Abildskou.dk or rødbillet.dk. If you are lucky and early in the ticket hunt, you can even find tickets from 50 kr at Abildskou.dk!! I once travelled from Aarhus to Copenhagen on such a ticket! With rødbillet you get free coffee and they have a break on Fyn and both bus-companies offer free WiFi during your travel!
3. When traveling within Copenhagen it can be an idea to buy a "rejsekort". You can travel with all busses within the city of Copenhagen as well as in Aarhus. It is not all cities in Denmark that have this card yet, but it is on the way. All you have to do before you travel with the card is to load money on it and then you check in when your travel begins and every time you change bus or train and check out when your travel has ended. There will be a fee if you forget to check out. So remember Read more here.
4. Concerning restaurants, food and such there is a lot of guides and reviews of such on aok.dk or aoa.dk. But the most exciting thing is that in Copenhagen (and from 2017 also in Aarhus) a new and supermarket have opened with an amazing concept. It is the first store in Denmark with surplus food - not in the sense that it has already been half eaten, but groceries that in the regular supermarkets cannot be sold because they either have a bump or something else. I find that the store and the uniqueness of its concept is worth a visit. Read more here (unfortunately only in Danish). It opens from monday to friday from 15-19 and the address is Amagerbrogade 151, 2300 Copenhagen.
5. If you want to know what restaurants and cafes serves glutenfree and diary free alternatives, then several websites do share this information. Foursquare lists 15 places in Copenhagen that are worth trying, but if you have a Danish friend who can translate for you, this blog offers lists of places to eat in different cities - an AMAZING blog. I have myself tried the cafe called Glad! and will have to try Cafe Ganefryd next time in Aarhus. In Copenhagen I am crazy about the cafe 42RAW and also Hard Rock Cafe!
Please, do share tips and tricks for an easy travel around in Denmark or any other country you have been in! :)
