Are you travelling to Copenhagen this year and are wondering about where to stay? If that is your jam, then I suggest that you check out some of the many options for renting city apartments in Copenhagen. If you want to relax after a long day out, and feel like a Dane rather than as a tourist, then staying in a city apartment may be just the right choice for you.

Why renting city apartments in Copenhagen is a great idea

Renting your own apartment while in Copenhagen is a great choice for a number of reasons. First of all, staying in an apartment rather than a hotel provides a much warmer atmosphere, where you can feel more at home after a long and tiring day out in Copenhagen taking in the sights.

Second of all, staying in an apartment makes your Danish experience more rewarding because you feel less like a visitor and more like a resident. If you are only in town for a couple of days, then a hostel or hotel is still a fine solution, but if you are staying a week or longer, your own apartment is likely to provide a better experience.

How do I find and book city apartments in Copenhagen?

City apartments in Copenhagen can be booked through a number of housing websites. At the websites of these housing companies, you can see pictures of the apartments you are interested in. Furthermore, you can read where the apartment is located, how big it is and how many bedrooms and beds are there. Also, you can read some of the user comments that some of these online housing agencies make available on their websites.

In terms of the price, then this will also be clearly displayed on the website. Usually, there will not be any extra costs in addition to the price that is displayed online. The price is usually based on how many people will be staying in the apartment, where you only pay for the exact number of people in your group.

Book city apartments in Copenhagen before arrival

Lastly, I want to emphasize that you should book your city apartment before you arrive, in order to make sure that what you want is also available for you, when you get into town.

When you book online, you will often be required to pay a deposit. The outstanding balance is then paid when you arrive in Copenhagen at which time you also pick up the keys from the owner or the housing agency.

One of the best ways here is to find an apartment for rent in Copenhagen. Apartments are much more homely and warm than a hotel room and are a great way of relaxing after a long day out sightseeing the Danish capital.

Where to find apartments for rent in Copenhagen

Apartments for rent in Copenhagen is offered by a variety of online housing agencies, specifically targeting tourists, business men and other people going to Copenhagen short term.

These apartments can either be hotel apartments placed in a traditional hotel setting or private apartments. The common denominator for both of these kind of apartments are that they offer a very homely atmosphere, which may exactly be what you are looking for, if your program in Copenhagen is very tight, and you want to spend the evenings with as little stress as possible.

What does it cost to rent an apartment in Copenhagen?

The cost of renting depends entirely on the apartment. Where is it located; how big is it; and what kinds of utilities does it have. All these are factors that influence the price.

For example, if you rent an apartment in downtown Copenhagen right next to the main walking street Strøget, then you are bound to pay a higher price than if you stayed in further out suburbs such as Vanløse, Brønshøj, Frederiksberg, Valby or Amager.

How to book an apartment for rent in Copenhagen

For most of the online agencies, you can do the booking for your apartment directly on the agency website. Often, in order to confirm your booking, you will have to pay a deposit. After you have made your deposit, you will receive a final confirmation of your booking.

Then, after you arrive in Copenhagen, you need to meet up with the owner of the apartment. You will then pay the outstanding amount after which the owner will hand over the keys to the apartment to you.

Will all costs be displayed when booking an apartment for rent in Copenhagen?

Usually, the total amount for renting the flat will be displayed on the website when you do the booking, and you should not expect any further costs to “pop up” at a later point. If you have any questions or doubts though, then I advice that you contact the housing agency directly.
