What is it like to live in Copenhagen as a Digital Nomad?
Digital Nomad Accommodation Copenhagen ? See our listings above and more info about Copenhagen.. read on:
Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital city located on the islands of Zealand and Amager. It lies in the east of Denmark very close to the Swedish border which can be reached in under 30 minutes by car. Although Copenhagen is Denmark’s largest city it only has around 800,000 inhabitants which makes it very small compared to other global hubs. While Copenhagen’ population of digital nomads is not the largest it’s becoming more and more attractive for remote workers who appreciate the high quality of living and many things there are to do.
Copenhagen is a very open place with lots of opportunities for outdoor activities and exploring. This is an incredibly walkable city with everything you’ll want to see in one place. Since Denmark is such a small country this is where all the action is and you’ll never be more than a car or ferry ride away from new places.
Copenhagen and Denmark in general are not very warm places. Expect a considerable amount of rain with cold winters and mild summers. This creates a favourable work environment with comfortable temperatures perfect for those who do not enjoy constant heat. Denmark is a great place to experience Europe and its incredible culture and history.
Of course, perks like great health-care, clean streets and affordable education come with high prices which you should keep in mind before making the choice to move to Copenhagen as a digital nomad. Expect to spend a lot more money on things like groceries, alcohol, clothing or furniture than you would in most other countries. If you have sufficient funds though you will absolutely love Copenhagen and all it has to offer. It is one of the prettiest cities in northern Europe and a great place to live and work remotely. If you’ve always dreamed of making Scandinavia your home Copenhagen is a fantastic choice.
What are the Copenhagen People like ?
As a personal experience, we absolutely love the open minded and friendly attitude. They are very international minded and easy to connect to. To be honest, Danish people are easier to communicate with compared to Norwegians for example.
Around 800,000 people live in Copenhagen, 73% of which are of Danish descent with the rest representing the immigrant population. While Denmark is not known for being a very multicultural country you’ll find people from all over the world in Copenhagen. Due to its small size, many expats feel like Copenhagen is not as overwhelming as other much larger capital cities worldwide with more opportunities to network and join a community.
The Danish people have been repeatedly ranked in the top three of the happiest nations in the world. This is often attributed to the high standards of living, social equality and advanced social safety system in this country. Although you’ll notice how expensive many things in daily life are in Denmark this translates directly to the favourable living conditions and openness of this beautiful country.
The people in Copenhagen are friendly and welcoming towards foreigners. Copenhagen is a great place for members of the LGBTQ+ community and there are very few occurrences of discrimination in every day life.
Depending on where you are originally from living in Denmark might be very different from what you are used to as a digital nomad. Some expats have noted the reserved and private nature of the Danish people which can make it difficult to find friends initially. Similar to the other European countries like Germany, the Netherlands or Sweden the people in Denmark tend to be very polite. As a digital nomad, it might take some time to adjust to the Danish lifestyle and truly immerse yourself in the culture of Copenhagen.
How’s working in Copenhagen like ?
Copenhagen is a fantastic place for those who work remotely and do not have a set workspace or office. Since apartments tend to be quite small in the city you will most likely want to either join a coworking space or get your work done in one of the many coffee shops around town. If you’re on a budget and don’t want to commit to an expensive membership you should look into university libraries around the city. Some of these allow public access or you can get a membership for free. You’ll get a peaceful work environment and all the facilities you need.
Copenhagen is said to have one of the fastest average wifi speeds in the world which means you’re very likely to have a fast internet connection wherever you go. Most coworking spaces offer free trials so definitely try out a few before you decide which one is for you.
What are the things to do in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is a city rich in culture and history. You can spend your days visiting museums, walking through the old town and enjoying life on the water. If you’re interested in seeing all the best parts of Copenhagen in a budget-conscious way you should consider buying the Copenhagen Card during your stay. This city pass includes admission to 87 different attractions in Copenhagen and even a public transport ticket. This is a great choice if you’re planning on seeing a lot of attractions in a short amount of time. Cards are available for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days and cost between 70 and 160$. This can definitely be worth it if you want to visit some of the attractions on this list.
Copenhagen Transportation
Copenhagen is known for being a very walkable city with a great public transport system. As someone living in Copenhagen for an extended period of time, you’ll appreciate how reliable and convenient both the trains and buses are for getting around. If you’re living somewhere close to the city centre you might not even feel a need to use transport at all since everything is easy to reach on foot. However, due to the sometimes unpleasant weather, taking the metro will become a lifesaver on rainy days.
Copenhagen’s metro system is one of the best in the world and will take you to most of the important places around town. Trains run between every 2 and 15 minutes including at night depending on the time. This means that even if you’re out late you’ll always be able to get home without having to hire a taxi. Buses and trains can be used interchangeably with the same ticket so switching is easy and convenient. You can buy tickets at metro stations or with bus drivers directly.
Buses in Copenhagen tend to be a bit slower than the metro or other trains. If you’re short on time this might not be the best choice but there are far more bus routes than for the metro which will let you get to suburbs or places outside the city.
Public transport operates in zones in Copenhagen which means there are different price categories depending on which zones you’re crossing. It’s highly advisable to get a monthly ticket which will be more affordable if you use public transport a lot. These exist according to zones or in a version where all zones are covered in a flat-rate fee.
Fitness and Health in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is a versatile city with many opportunities for staying fit and healthy. You’ll most likely be doing a considerable amount of walking and biking if you’re living in Copenhagen which will help you stay fit in daily life. Of course, you’ll find a great selection of gyms around the city many of which belong to larger chains which means you might be able to use different gyms interchangeably. Check out Fitness World for a modern gym with a large selection of equipment. Their prices start at 50$ per month for the basic membership. They have multiple gyms around town so you’ll most likely find one near you. SATS Copenhagen is another great option if you enjoy working out in a gym. Their membership is slightly cheaper at only 44$ per month and they have discounts frequently.
Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark so you’ll be able to find most sports here. If you don’t enjoy working out in a gym you should consider joining a local sports team like football or handball. There are also facilities such as dance studios, indoor swimming pools or even ice skating rinks. Copenhagen has something for everyone so staying fit in this city will not be a problem.
Since the city is very open and green you should get into running which can be especially pleasant in the spring or summer. Run along the river or the ocean and get to know the area while you are working out.
