13 'Expensive' Cities You Can Actually Visit on a Tight Budget

3. Copenhagen, Denmark: Bikes, Bites & Botanical Beauty

Embrace Danish 'hygge' without the high cost. Renting a bike is often the most cost-effective (and enjoyable) way to explore this cycle-friendly city. Admire the colourful houses of Nyhavn by strolling along the canal, rather than sitting at pricey waterfront cafes. Enjoy free entry to the beautiful Botanical Garden and the National Museum of Denmark. For affordable, delicious food, head to street food markets like Reffen or Torvehallerne, or grab a traditional hotdog (pølse) from a stand.
