Can you rent a car and drop it off in Copenhagen?
We're actually going for the world cup qualifier between Ireland and Denmark. I hear drinks are very expensive there. but I also hear drinking on the street is allowed. I've a feeling half of the Irish travelling will be buying cans and drinking on the street xD
So I was looking at train tickets. €37 if you are 25 or under. €50 if you are over 25. Are they strick on that? My friend is 25 now but will be 26 by then. My other friend is just gone 26. Would we get away with the cheaper tickets?
And accommodation in Copenhagen is meant to be very expensive. Any tips? Preferably would like to not pay more then €100 per room per night.. |
Be careful with the youth tickets, I think you need to buy a specific youth card, that you need to show in addition to the youth ticket for it to be valid.
If you are fast and lucky you might be able to buy the cheaper Orange tickets, but be aware, they have to be used on that specific train they are bought for, and they can’t be refunded. If you don’t buy an Orange ticket, then just wait until when you are there to buy tickets, since the prices for regular tickets won’t change.

You can always rent a car in one place and drop it somewhere else, it just costs more money. For accommodation maybe look around the outskirts, |
Thinking of getting a hostel in the city. prices seem to be around €40-€50 a night. unfortunetly it looks like i'll have to get a 2.45am bus to the airport on sunday or i'll miss my flight at 10.45.
Replicant said: Copenhagen has a bunch of nightlife activitites. You can read about some of them here. Accomodation in Copenhagen is really expensive. The hotels are really good but if you're travelling on a tight budget I'd suggest checking out Airbnb or hostels.com. Cheapest way to travel from Billund to Copenhagen would be by bus or train. Just ask for help in the airport. People are really nice. I'm from Denmark. Grew up in Randboeldal (Randboel Valley) approx. 10 km from Billund. The nature is pretty great in this area (forest valleys and lakes) combined with historical Viking landmarks (Rune Stones, Viking ships, etc). If you visit places even closer to the sea in Eastern Jutland, the nature will be great as well.
I suppose you already know about attractions in Billund like: Legoland
Lego House
Lalandia |
Thanks for the tips. Denmark loks pretty :)
BTW i can't seem to find any "Orange" tickets

No problem
You gotta tick the "Show me Orange tickets" before you click on "Search journey".
Here are some of the "orange" departures from Vejle to Copenhagen on October 11:
12.57 - 15.05 for 92 kr. (12.36€)
13.56 - 16.05 for 101 kr. (13.57€)
16.04 - 18.57 for 101 kr. (13.57€)
18.04 - 20.57 for 92 kr. (12.36€)
Alternatively, you can rent a car which may be cheaper if you're a group like TomaTito said. But be sure to rent it from your home country as that'll save you a lot of money. A couple years ago I rented a car in Australia and later discovered that I could've saved 200+ € if I had done so through a Danish unit in the same car rental company
If you end up follow this through, enjoy the match (maybe I'll join you). And when you're in Copenhagen remember to visit Mikkeller Bar and taste the beer awarded one of the 3 best in the world.

It's the nickname of the Danish football team. It originated around the time that they won Euro 1992, but they haven't exactly been dynamite since then, so it's probably not common knowledge anymore. My post was a joke on the panic/outrage that can be caused by mentioning words like 'bomb' in an airport. |
Wrong. The nickname Danish Dynamite originated with their 1986 World Cup team that beat West Germany 2-0 and Uruguay 6-1.

Here in Brazil we call the '86s Danish team of "Dinamáquina" (or something like DinaMachine in english). Didn't heard that "danish dynamite" before.
