CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIPS FOR DENMARK

ATMs

ATMs are widely available in Denmark, especially in urban areas and major tourist destinations. Most ATMs accept international cards, but transaction fees can range from DKK 20–40 per withdrawal. It’s best to use ATMs that are affiliated with major banks like Danske Bank or Nordea for better exchange rates.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE

Currency exchange services are available at airports, banks, and exchange offices in major cities. Exchange rates at airports and tourist areas tend to be less favorable, so try to avoid exchanging large sums at these locations. It’s advisable to exchange a small amount upon arrival for immediate expenses, then use local banks or exchange offices for larger amounts. For better rates before your trip, consider visiting Currency Hub in Knox, Melbourne, to exchange your money.

USING CARDS

Credit and debit cards are widely accepted across Denmark, especially in cities, hotels, restaurants, and shops. Visa and MasterCard are the most commonly accepted, while American Express is less frequently used. Be sure to notify your bank about your travel plans to avoid any issues with card usage, and check for foreign transaction fees. For small purchases or in rural areas, it’s a good idea to carry cash as some places may not accept cards.
