Coping With The High Cost of Copenhagen

Everything costs more in Copenhagen. Here in Denmark's capital, don't be surprised to come across $5 sodas, $10 McMeals and $6 happy hour beers. Here are three ways to save a few crowns in this slice of Scandinavian heaven:

1) Seek out free entertainment -- Even in the land of the expensive, some things are free. Check out the changing of the guard and the Danish Royal Palace, a Sandemans walking tour, the iconic Little Mermaid and the National Museum.

2) Take the 11A bus instead of the pricier open top sightseeing tour. The 11A will take you to many of the same sights including Tivoli Gardens, the National Museum, Stroeget and Amalienborg Palace for a small fraction of the price.

3) Take the boat bus instead of a canal cruise - It seems every European city has a river, canal or lake to cruise. This city's canal cruises are particularly pricey for foreign travelers, so skip it and take the significantly cheaper boat bus as you wander instead.
