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.. 

You can always rent a car in one place and drop it somewhere else, it just costs more money.
I would have thought you had the return flight at Billund, so you could use the rental as a means to get back.
Just check how much it costs, it might be cheaper than the train if you are a group.

For accommodation maybe look around the outskirts,
somewhere that is nicely connected via the train so you can easily get to the city.

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.

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.
Bus from Billund to Vejle ~ 7€
Bus from Vejle to Copenhagen ~ 17€ (book well in advance on flixbus.dk)
Train from Vejle to Copenhagen ~ 12€ (book well in advance on dsb.dk, only "orange tickets" (tickets that are booked early) are that cheap)

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

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.

I can't seem to find any orange tickets... might have to wait and get the more expensive oneso n the day :(
