Life in Copenhagen is anything and everything, but it is not budget-friendly. Here is stuff you can do on a humble student income. They are all for the price of a cup of coffee, or free. Ever used the lack of money as an excuse? Our beloved Danish capital has two surprises for every newcomer.
First, you are shocked by the high prices. But then you are shocked by the amount of things you can do without paying anything. You can even have a swastika tattoo put on your butt for free strictly for Buddhist purposes, mind you!
Unfortunately, rumours about free naked bungee jumping in Christiania are not true, but you can do plenty other things for a price of a coffee or less. Read on! Start off by borrowing a bike. The sad truth is: not all of us own one. Some really nice guys are ahead with the problem and founded a free bicycle rental company. They are all volunteers and all they expect is to return the bikes in time. Careful, only honest people with valid photo ID can use their services.
Donations to run the business are also welcome. For reservation or for more info please go to CopenhagenFreeBikeRental. Have a problem following the unwritten rules of Copenhagen cycling in the crowded city? Read our guide to Danish cycling etiquette here. And in Denmark it is actually not! A sure treat in the cold winter, but it feels good any other time of the year as well.
See more info about pool facilities and prices here. Studenterhuset is well-known as a place for students to meet up. It is less-known that besides super cheap beer, they also offer free dance classes. If you want to join the fun, go there on Tuesday nights from 7. The first half hour is always devoted to a short introduction and afterwards you are welcome to stay and try out your newly learnt steps.
