How to Book a Food and Cycling Trip to Copenhagen

See the city by bike and eat your way through the local scene without the peak season price tag.

Typical cost $3,200 before anything else
Across the 0% window $177.78/mo 18 months, no interest

How we got that: $3,200 spread evenly across the 18-month introductory window on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

Copenhagen in early spring is quiet, crisp, and perfect for exploring by bike. You can pedal along the harbor and hit the world-class food markets before the summer crowds arrive and drive the hotel prices up.

If you want to manage the $3200 cost over time, you can use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. It offers 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening, which lets you split the bill into manageable monthly chunks.

Keep in mind that the 18-month window is a deadline, not a gift. If you still have a balance left when the intro period ends, the bank will start charging interest on what you owe.

The steps

  1. 01

    Lock in your flights

    Look for tickets in March or April. Prices are lower before the weather turns warm. Booking mid-week can help you shave a bit more off the total.

  2. 02

    Choose your home base

    Find a place near the city center or Vesterbro. Being central saves you money on transit because you will be doing almost everything on two wheels.

  3. 03

    Set up your payment plan

    With the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, you can pay about $177.78 per month for 18 months to clear that $3200 balance. Set up an automatic payment so you never miss a due date.

  4. 04

    Rent your bike

    Don't bother with taxis. Most hotels or local shops offer daily bike rentals that are much cheaper and get you right into the heart of the city.

  5. 05

    Budget for food

    Copenhagen dining can get expensive. Balance your trip by mixing high-end restaurant reservations with street food at Torvehallerne or Reffen.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

    Every figure we publish for the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card carries the date a person verified it against Citi and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.

Common questions

Is a trip to Copenhagen expensive?

It can be. Eating out and staying in hotels will add up quickly, so look for local markets and bike everywhere to save on costs.

What happens if I miss a monthly payment?

You might lose the 0% offer and get hit with a late fee. Always set up autopay to keep your plan on track.

Why travel in early spring?

The weather is starting to turn, but the summer tourists haven't arrived yet. You get better deals on flights and fewer lines at the best restaurants.

Can I pay off the balance early?

Yes. You should pay it off faster if you can. There is no penalty for paying more than the minimum each month.
