While in Copenhagen it is a must to buy the Copenhagen card. It can be purchased for 24,48 or 72 hours. It saved me so much money, I had plenty left over to enjoy the beer! For example, I bought the 72 hour card for 320 kroner. If I had purchased all of the separate attraction admissions and paid for each bus and train ride, I would have been out by over 500 kroner. However, the card does not discount the Kronborg Castle in Helsingor, only the Maritime Museum on the castle grounds. It is also not open Mondays; I learned all of this the hard way, but since Sweden is only 20 minutes away by ferry, and a 50% discount is given with the Copenhagen card, I visited another country for the afternoon. Awesome plan - my only regret was that I had to come home.

We did this in advance last summer and met a nice Danish couple who were able to answer several questions we had about various aspects of Scandinavian lifestyle.
