Money
The local currency in Denmark (Copenhagen) is the Danish Kroner (DKK) – there are five banknotes: DKK50, DKK100, DKK500 and DKK1000, and seven coins: 25øre, 50øre, DKK1, DKK2, DKK5, DKK10 and DKK20. DKK1 = 90p approximately (April 2005).
ATM’s (cash machines) are generally available in most tourist areas, but ask your British bank about withdrawal charges as these can be heavy, especially if you withdraw only a small amount of cash. Travellers’ cheques are still the safest way to carry money and can be obtained in sterling denominations. Please note your passport is likely to be required when cashing travellers’ cheques. Remember to make a record of the cheque numbers and keep this record totally separate in case the cheques are lost. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants and shops in the tourist areas. Remember to make a record of your credit card number and the emergency phone number for cancelling your card, should you lose it. If possible, take a mixture of cash and travellers’ cheques with you and remember not to carry all your credit cards, money, passport and travellers’ cheques when going out and about.

Local Time
Copenhagen is on Central European Time, therefore one hour ahead of GMT, with summertime tending to run from late March until late October.
