Banks, exchange offices or an ATM.

Short answer

In Copenhagen you can exchange money at banks, at exchange offices or simply withdraw kroner from an ATM with your card. Banks are open on weekdays from 9.30 to 16.00, on Thursdays until 18.00, and they are closed at weekends. Exchange offices also open at weekends, for example Forex at Nørreport Station and at Copenhagen Central Station. Most bank ATMs are open 24 hours a day and accept all major cards.

Danish krone and euro

Why

  1. Banks are closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
  2. Exchange offices fill the gap at weekends.
  3. An ATM is often the quickest way to get kroner.

Details

Faroese banknotes are exchanged for Danish notes at banks at the rate 1:1, free of charge.

Tip

Compare the rate and the fee before you exchange, because both decide how many kroner you get.

What may differ

Opening hours of single bank branches and exchange offices can differ, so check them before you go.

Common misconception

Many visitors expect to find a bank open on Saturday.

What actually happens

Banks in Denmark are closed at weekends, so use an exchange office or an ATM then.
