How to save money on your Danish holiday

Visit during shoulder seasons for better value on flights and accommodation. May to early June and September to October offer quieter travel and more affordable prices before the summer peak.
Eat at local bakeries and street food stalls rather than tourist restaurants. Try rød pølse (red sausage from a Danish hot dog stand), smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches), and pastries from local bakeries for a fraction of restaurant prices.
Use bikes for getting around Copenhagen. The city has one of the world's best cycling networks and bikes can be rented affordably, making it easy and cheap to explore.
Take advantage of Denmark's free attractions. The Botanical Garden in Copenhagen, the beaches of Bornholm, and many of Denmark's coastal trails cost nothing to enjoy.

All about Danish currency

What is the currency of Denmark?

The official currency of Denmark is the Danish Krone, abbreviated as DKK and symbolised as kr. "Krone" means "crown" in Danish, a reference to the monarchy. The plural form is "kroner." One krone divides into 100 øre, though øre coins are no longer in common circulation.

The Danish Krone was introduced in 1875 as part of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, alongside Norway and Sweden. Despite the union dissolving in 1914, Denmark retained the krone. It remains Denmark's official currency today.

An important note for travellers: despite being a member of the European Union, Denmark has opted out of adopting the Euro. Denmark uses its own currency, the Danish Krone. You'll need DKK for all your spending in Denmark.

The Danish Krone is also pegged to the Euro at approximately 7.46 DKK per EUR, meaning the DKK/EUR rate barely moves. However, the AUD/DKK rate does fluctuate with global market conditions.

Where is the Danish Krone used?

The Danish Krone is the official currency of:

Denmark (mainland)
Greenland
The Faroe Islands

Note: the Faroe Islands issue their own Faroese krone banknotes, but these are equal in value to Danish krone and both are accepted across all three territories.

Danish notes and coins

Banknotes: 50 kr, 100 kr, 200 kr, 500 kr, 1,000 kr

Coins: 50 øre, 1 kr, 2 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 20 kr

Denmark's current banknote series features illustrations of Denmark's iconic bridges on one side, and archaeological artefacts found in Denmark on the other, blending modern design with deep historical significance.

Cash or card in Denmark?

Like Norway, Denmark is one of the most cashless countries in the world. Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere, including at small cafes, markets, and rural businesses. Cash is rarely used by Danes.

That said, carrying a small amount of Danish Krone is advisable for tips, emergencies, and any purchases in very remote areas.

Fun facts about Danish Krone

Despite being an EU member, Denmark has opted out of the Euro since 2000. A Danish referendum voted against adopting the Euro, and the country has remained with the krone ever since.

The Danish Krone is pegged to the Euro at a rate of approximately 7.46 DKK per EUR, maintained by Danmarks Nationalbank (Denmark's central bank). This peg has been maintained since the early 1980s.
Denmark's banknotes feature a unique dual theme: one side shows major Danish bridges (including the iconic Oresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden), and the other side features ancient artefacts discovered in Denmark.
The Faroe Islands issue their own version of krone banknotes (Faroese krone), which are equal in value to Danish krone and accepted interchangeably in all three territories.

What is the currency of Denmark?

Do I need cash in Denmark?
Denmark is one of the world's most cashless countries, with cards and contactless payments accepted almost everywhere. Most Danes rarely carry cash. That said, having a small amount of Danish Krone is useful for:
- Tips (appreciated though not mandatory in Denmark)
- Very remote areas or smaller rural businesses
- Emergency backup if digital payment systems are unavailable
For most travellers, a combination of a card for everyday spending and a small amount of DKK cash for emergencies is the ideal approach.

Is it better to buy Danish Krone in Australia or Denmark?
It's almost always better to buy Danish Krone in Australia before you travel. Airport exchanges at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) typically offer less favourable rates and higher fees. Sorting your DKK before you leave also means you arrive financially prepared.
Because Denmark is so cashless, you could also consider loading a Travel Money Oz Currency Pass with DKK for convenient card spending throughout your trip.
Travel Money Oz offers competitive AUD to DKK rates, no fees or commission, and same-day online ordering with click & collect or home delivery. Find your nearest store if you'd prefer to buy in person.
How much is 1 AUD in Danish Krone?
What affects the AUD to DKK exchange rate?
The AUD to DKK exchange rate is influenced by a range of economic factors, including:
- Interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and Danmarks Nationalbank (Denmark's central bank)
- The DKK/EUR relationship, as the Danish Krone is pegged to the Euro at approximately 7.46 DKK per EUR, meaning DKK/EUR barely moves, but AUD/DKK shifts with AUD/EUR movements
- Global commodity prices, particularly for Australian mineral and agricultural exports
- Broader risk sentiment in global markets
Rates change daily, so it's worth checking the live AUD to DKK rate above before you buy.
How much spending money do I need for Denmark?
Denmark is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, with Copenhagen ranking among the world's priciest cities. As a rough guide:
- Budget travellers staying in hostels and eating affordably typically spend AUD $120-$180 per day.
- Mid-range travellers average AUD $220-$320 per day once accommodation, restaurant dining, and activities are factored in.
- Outside Copenhagen, smaller cities like Aarhus and Odense and rural Denmark are more affordable.
Worth noting: buying groceries from supermarkets (Netto, Rema 1000, Bilka) is significantly cheaper than eating out. A simple restaurant meal often starts at AUD $35-$50 per person, and a coffee costs AUD $10-$12.
