What Does Denmark Cost?
Denmark is among the more expensive travel destinations in Europe — comparable to Sweden and Norway, but cheaper than Switzerland. Prices are about 25–40% above the German level. Restaurant visits and alcohol are particularly costly. However, beaches are free, bike paths are perfect, and the price level is quality-oriented.
