Affordable Europe: Copenhagen

copenhagen-600.jpg

Prisbillig — that's the Danish word for cheap. Unfortunately, it's a word seldom heard in this Nordic city. One culprit is the powerful krone (or weak dollar). Another is the city's skyrocketing style quotient. An explosion of high-end hangouts and high-style buildings by name-brand architects — including Daniel Libeskind, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid, Henning Larsen and Norman Foster — have helped make the Danish capital one of the planet's 10 most expensive cities.

Where to Stay for Under 125 Euros

he rooms at the Absalon Hotel (Helgolandsgade 15; 45-33-24-22-11; www.absalonhotel.dk) may be a beige mix of bland carpeting and floral fabrics. But its unbeatable location — in hip Vesterbro and just steps from Central Station and the Tivoli amusement park — puts the Absalon a cut above its lower-cost competitors. Throw in extras like Wi-Fi and breakfast, and you have the makings of a decent Danish deal. For travelers on a very tight budget, the hotel's annex (simpler rooms, shared bathrooms) is an even better value. Doubles in the annex start at 790 kroner, about $144 at 5.6 Danish kroner to $1, or 106 euros (the Internet rate is 710 kroner). Standard hotel doubles start at 1,360 kroner (Internet rate, 1,195 kroner).

Where to Eat

Why seek out French fare in Scandinavia? Because the gastronomic philanthropists at Les Trois Cochons (Vaernedamsvej 10; 45-33-31-70-55; www.cofoco.dk) are executing it with zest — and thrift. Housed in a former butcher shop (you can still spy the checkerboard tile floors and window-pane cabinets), this two-year-old nouveau bistro offers impeccable three-course meals for just 250 kroner. The seasonal menu, which changes monthly, recently included French-infused Danish dishes like halibut in mussel broth, beef with mushrooms in red-wine sauce, and roasted suckling pig with carrots, onions and mustard.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      No. The file manager is a lost cause. After all, its dev receives all the undeserved praise he could evre wish from Neowin, without having actually earned it. This has never lead to improvements.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.

      By thartist · Posted

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
