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.

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
