If you put a little work into it, you can get access to a lot of good discounts as a student. It requires a bit of preparation, but it pays off. The first thing you need to do is download two apps and activate them immediately: UNiDAYS and Studiz. As a University of Copenhagen student, for example, as soon as you have your KUnet login, it can be used to confirm that you are a student via WAYF. You will receive your digital student ID card directly on your mobile phone.<\/p>\n

Studiz is a Danish portal for student discounts in Denmark \u2013 it is easy and free to register, and they have a large overview of all places that offer student discounts, typically 10-20 per cent. On the Studiz app you can see all the places listed, which include clothing stores, opticians, culture venues, yoga, dentists and fast food.<\/p>\n

UNiDAYS has many international partners and is a free service for students throughout the world. With your digital UNiDAYS student card, you can get student discounts at, say, ASOS, Adidas, Superdry and Vans.<\/p>\n

Every year in mid September (week 37), young people up to the age of 27 can get free admission to no less than 180 museums and galleries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is especially good for online shopping, and outside Denmark.<\/p>\n

A third service that may make sense for students who travel a lot, or are going on exchange, is an International Student Identity Card (ISIC). It costs DKK 150 and can be used internationally. It is not used many places in Denmark, but if you are going on holiday or exchange, that investment is quickly recouped \u2013 several hostels and restaurants give a discount when you flash it.<\/p>\n

And then there’s the good old UCPH student card. In most places in Copenhagen, it is enough to whip it out if you want to unleash all your benefits.<\/p>\n

Make a habit of asking<\/h3>\n

Studentoffer.dk has a big overview of all the student discounts in Copenhagen. This includes experiences, restaurants, personal care and activities. All the discounts here can be claimed with a UCPH student card.<\/p>\n

Many places in Copenhagen, including small independent shops, offer student discounts even though they do not clearly indicate it. Always make it a habit to ask if you can get a student discount. The worst thing that can happen is that you save money.<\/p>\n

Your student card gives you access to a cheap sports club with more than 65 different sports<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Several cultural offerings have discounts for young people, typically in the age group 15-26 years old. Good deals are to be had here.<\/p>\n

K7 is a nationwide initiative that gives young people greater opportunities to visit cultural institutions. Every year in week 37, young people up to the age of 27 can get free admission to no less than 180 museums and galleries.<\/p>\n

To get to all the museums, a Rejsekort travel card is an advantage, and you can upgrade to ‘Rejsekort ung’ if you get a student grant and can present a valid student card from the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

If your travel card can’t take you that far, both the airline SAS and the Danish railways DSB offer youth discounts on airline tickets, train tickets and Interrail passes.<\/p>\n

Theatre, music and cultural experiences<\/h3>\n

We released this guide to cultural venues in 2019 with student discounts, and it is still up-to-date. It’s also worth checking out which music streaming services offer student discounts. Both Apple Music and Spotify lower the price if you can confirm that you are a student.<\/p>\n

If music isn’t enough, you can get theatre tickets discounted if you are a student. You can become a free member of ‘My Theatre’ on Teaterbilletter.dk and always get a reduction. You can often also buy tickets at a large discount if you are a large group of young people together.<\/p>\n

A good night out at the theatre includes, at best, a restaurant visit or some takeaway. The list of places where you can get discounts is a long one. This list includes VACA, Needs Pizza, Halifax and Zocalo.<\/p>\n

Discount on gymnastics, for your mind, and for your body<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest expenses as a new university student is books on the syllabus. But here money can be saved also.<\/p>\n

Both Academic Books and saxo.com offer student discounts on their titles.<\/p>\n

And remember: Your student card also gives access to the UCPH Student Sports (KSI)<\/a>,<\/em> which is a sports club with more than 65 different sports, for example kayaking, ballet or ocean swimming.

You will receive your digital student ID card directly on your mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>Studiz is a Danish portal for student discounts in Denmark \u2013 it is easy and free to register, and they have a large overview of all places that offer student discounts, typically 10-20 per cent. On the Studiz app you can see all the places listed, which include clothing stores, opticians, culture venues, yoga, dentists and fast food.<\/p>\n<p>UNiDAYS has many international partners and is a free service for students throughout the world. With your digital UNiDAYS student card, you can get student discounts at, say, ASOS, Adidas, Superdry and Vans.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Every year in mid September (week 37), young people up to the age of 27 can get free admission to no less than 180 museums and galleries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is especially good for online shopping, and outside Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>A third service that may make sense for students who travel a lot, or are going on exchange, is an International Student Identity Card (ISIC). It costs DKK 150 and can be used internationally. It is not used many places in Denmark, but if you are going on holiday or exchange, that investment is quickly recouped \u2013 several hostels and restaurants give a discount when you flash it.<\/p>\n<p>And then there’s the good old UCPH student card. In most places in Copenhagen, it is enough to whip it out if you want to unleash all your benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/how-to-live-on-a-student-budget-in-copenhagen\/\">How to live on a student budget in Copenhagen<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Make a habit of asking<\/h3>\n<p>Studentoffer.dk has a big overview of all the student discounts in Copenhagen. This includes experiences, restaurants, personal care and activities. All the discounts here can be claimed with a UCPH student card.<\/p>\n<p>Many places in Copenhagen, including small independent shops, offer student discounts even though they do not clearly indicate it. Always make it a habit to ask if you can get a student discount. The worst thing that can happen is that you save money.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Your student card gives you access to a cheap sports club with more than 65 different sports<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Several cultural offerings have discounts for young people, typically in the age group 15-26 years old.

It’s also worth checking out which music streaming services offer student discounts. Both Apple Music and Spotify lower the price if you can confirm that you are a student.<\/p>\n<p>If music isn’t enough, you can get theatre tickets discounted if you are a student. You can become a free member of ‘My Theatre’ on Teaterbilletter.dk and always get a reduction. You can often also buy tickets at a large discount if you are a large group of young people together.<\/p>\n<p>A good night out at the theatre includes, at best, a restaurant visit or some takeaway. The list of places where you can get discounts is a long one. This list includes VACA, Needs Pizza, Halifax and Zocalo.<\/p>\n<h3>Discount on gymnastics, for your mind, and for your body<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest expenses as a new university student is books on the syllabus.

The University Post has interviewed locals from all around the city, and got them to talk about their own neighborhoods and share some of their favorite places.\r\n<h2>Indre by (The Inner City)<\/h2>\r\nThe centre of Copenhagen is called 'Indre By' or inner city and is the place where you will find most tourists. It is famous for the shopping street, Str\u00f8get, filled with designer shops, boutiques, cafes and tourist traps.\r\n\r\n<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-indre-by-inner-city\/\">See an in-depth guide to the Inner City district here.<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\nThen there is the royal residency Amalienborg. Besides watching how the Queen's palace looks from the outside, you can see the Danish Royal Lifeguards with their big bearskin hats standing at their red sentry boxes guarding the palace. In the inner city, you can also find the Danish Parliament, the Prime Minister's office and the parliament buildings at Christiansborg.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Indre By has the Rosenborg Gardens. Here at Rosenborg Castle is a beautiful park, which at the first ray of sunlight in the spring is filled with locals picnicking, tanning and playing football. Close by also lies the Botanical Garden, with with huge glass houses filled with rare flowers. It is great place to relax, take a stroll and sit by a lake enjoying the big old trees.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\nWhen the sun goes down, the inner city is still filled with life. Bars, restaurants and night clubs can be found in the area. The inner city is filled with, shops, offices and other businesses.\r\n\r\nHousing prices are expensive, so besides the Queen, most Copenhageners live in other neighbourhoods.\r\n<h2>Christianshavn<\/h2>\r\nTechnically, it is still a part of the inner city, but because it is surrounded by water, this part has gained its own personality. Christianshavn is probably most known for the so-called free town of Christiania. The former military grounds were overtaken by hippies in the 1970's and turned into a town in the city with its own laws and regulations. Christiania is filled with self-made houses, creative workshops, concert halls, and bars.\r\n\r\nThe University Post spoke with one of the locals, 22-year old Rasmus Kidde, who studies sociology at the University of Copenhagen, and got him to share his thoughts on the neighborhood.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-christianshavn\/\"><strong>See his rundown of the Christianshavn district here.<\/strong><\/a>\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\nBesides Christiania, there is the Church of Our Savior (Vor Frelser Kirke), famous for its tall and winding corkscrew spire. The external staircase can be climbed to the top, and offers one of the best overviews of the city.\r\n<h2>Amager<\/h2>\r\nContinuing south, and you will get to the Island of Amager. Unless, you are Danish, you will not understand why it is pronounced <em>Ah-mah<\/em>. In the seventies it was where the all the trash from the city was dumped, and the island got the derogatory name <em>shit island<\/em>. However, it has never lived up to this name, and it never will.\r\n\r\nIn Amager, the University Post found a native A-ma-caner, 26 year old Danish student Trine Rasmussen, to get some local knowledge.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-amager\/\"><strong>See her guide to the Amager district here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nAlong the metro line are apartment buildings designed by world famous architects. The DR Byen, which means the DR City, is the headquarters for the Danish national broadcasting corporation, DR, and then there is Amager F\u00e6lled, a big green area, mostly used for recreational runners, and people taking a walk and enjoying the nature.\r\n\r\nIn the old part of Amager, along Amagerbrogade, are shops, cafes and restaurants. It is here you will find the \u201creal\u201d locals also called \u201cA-ma-caners\u201d. If you continue east you will get to Amager Beach Park. When the sun is out, and the water is warm (over 19 degrees celsius, which is warm in Denmark!) this is the place to be.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\nUCPH actually has its largest campus in, or 'on', Amager, right by the Islands Brygge area. It is called South Campus, and houses the entire <a href=\"http:\/\/humanities.ku.dk\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faculty of Humanities<\/a>. Right beside campus is the fancy dormitory Tietgen, which is one of the many dorms on Amager that have been <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/dorms-disclosed-tietgenkollegiet-2-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reviewed by the University Post multiple times<\/a>.\r\n<h2>Islands Brygge<\/h2>\r\nIsland's Brygge is another small neighborhood on Amager. It is on the island, but slightly separate from the rest of Amager. This neighborhood is at the moment mostly known from the Danish reality show <em>Familien p\u00e5 Bryggen <\/em>(The Family from Bryggen), which shows the daily life of the buxom blonde Linse Kessler and her family. If you walk around the neighborhood, you will likely meet her in real life!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-islands-brygge\/\"><strong>See what the locals had to say about Islands Brygge here.<\/strong><\/a>\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\nIslands Brygge, also simply called Bryggen, is right beside the harbour. In the summer, locals will meet up by the water to tan, relax, read a book, or party. Some will even jump in the water to get cooled down. The University Post met up with 23 year old sociology student, Jasmin to get inside details on Bryggen:\r\n\r\n\u00bbIslands Brygge is probably mostly known for Linse Kessler, and then all the people tanning at the harbor. There are all kinds of people here. In the summer, I just love to go down to the water with a blanket and a good book, and just relax. Close by also lies my favorite ice cream shop Bryggen 11. They make the most delicious ice cream.\u00ab\r\n<h2>Vesterbro<\/h2>\r\nWalking or biking over the small white bridge at Islands Brygge will get you to Vesterbro. This was once the red light district of Copenhagen, filled with prostitutes and drug dealers, but after a gentrification process, Vesterbro has become a popular place to live. The most famous street, Istedgade, is still a very mixed place. At one end you will still find drug dealers, sex shops and prostitutes, but at the other end lies Enghave Park, which is cozy little park filled with couples, and families with young children.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-vesterbro\/\">See the students' report about the Vesterbro district here.<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nVesterbro is also the place for the hipsters. It is filled with second hand stores, small caf\u00e9s and bars selling special beers and old school cocktails. It is a place which seems to have an abundance of creative personalities in lumberjack shirts and big beards. Christian Kronow, a 26 year old Danish student at the University of Copenhagen, shared his experience of Vesterbro with the University Post.\n<!-- end of module 5 -->\n\u00bbVesterbro is filled with fancy, latt\u00e9 drinking mothers at Enghave Plads. In the other end you have the hardened types at the Maria Church and the men's home. Before the metro construction, Enghave Plads was one of my favorite sites. Also the area around Carlsberg is nice. There is the Carlsberg Museum in heart of it all. Here you can pat a horse, and drink a cheap beer, and at the same time get a shot of culture.\u00ab\r\n<h2>Frederiksberg<\/h2>\r\nGoing north from Vesterbro, you will technically leave Copenhagen. Frederiksberg is a city in the city. It has its own municipality, and is the most densely populated city in Denmark, and also the most expensive to live in. The inhabitants are generally therefore also very wealthy, and the shops here are mostly small boutiques with designer clothes and specialty goods.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-frederiksberg\/\"><strong>See what local students had to say about Frederiksberg here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nHere they have the Copenhagen Zoo, which is by now probably most famous because of <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/analysis-death-of-marius-the-giraffe-reveals-cultural-differences-in-animal-conservation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its giraffe killings<\/a>. However, there are still many living exotic animals, and it is always a popular place for tourists. It lies just beside the Frederiskberg Palace, which houses the Danish Army Officer Academy.\r\n\r\nBoth the palace and the Zoo are surrounded by Frederikberg park, another nice park to take a stroll in. Nanna, a 23 year old English student at UCPH, says:\r\n\r\n\u00bbMy favorite place is definitely Frederiksberg Park. In the summer, it is a great place to go on a picnic. They have a Japanese tea house in the summer, and if you go over to the Zoo, you can see the elephants. Outside the park, you will mostly meet young mothers and their carrier cycles, and CBS [Copenhagen Business School] students. They are everywhere but, of course, you can find all kinds of people.\u00ab\r\n\r\n\u00bbFrederiksberg also has the oldest gay bar in Copenhagen, Cafe Intime. Event though it is a gay bar, it is for everyone, and they have a piano and an open mike, so you can drop by and sing a song, if you feel like it. It is great fun,\u00ab says Nanna.\n<!-- end of module 6 -->\nThe University of Copenhagen has a campus in this area, called Frederiksberg Campus, which holds parts of the Faculty of Science and the Faculties of Heath Science and Medical Science, with studies ranging from food research, veterinary and life sciences, natural resources to landscape architecture and planning.\r\n<h2>N\u00f8rrebro<\/h2>\r\nNorth of Frederiksberg lies N\u00f8rrebro. This is one of the most multicultural parts of Copenhagen, known for Shawarma joints, halal butchers, and middle eastern grocery shops. It is also one of the younger areas, and inhabited by many students. The neighborhood lies around N\u00f8rrebrogade, a street famous for its broad biking lanes and a green wave for cycles, which means that biking with a speed of 20 km\/h will make you see only green lights.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-noerrebro\/\">See the student perspective on the N\u00f8rrebro district here.<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nBefore the recent gentrification, the neighborhood was known as one of the more rough hoods. Especially because of ghettos as Bl\u00e5g\u00e5rden, Mj\u00f8lnerparken and Aldersrogade; however, recent development has made N\u00f8rrebro a popular place for new hip shops and businesses to open. Local 24 year old English student, Anni, explains that areas like Sankt Hans Torv and J\u00e6gerborggade are becoming increasingly popular.\n<!-- end of module 7 -->\n\u00bbN\u00f8rrebro is worn and covered in graffiti, but it is also very beautiful, for example the Assistens Cemetery. The street scene, shopwise, pretty much reflects the types who live here. Besides that, some of the most famous restaurants in N\u00f8rrebro are Kiin Kiin and Rel\u00e6, which both have a Michelin star. Personally, it is difficult to pick my favorite place, but it is probably Rub\u00e6ks B\u00f8ger, a small book store on J\u00e6gersborggade that also serves beer and coffee.\u00ab\r\n\r\nThis neighborhood has another UCPH campus, known as North Campus, which houses areas of the Health and Medical Sciences and of the Science Faculty.\r\n<h2>\u00d8sterbro<\/h2>\r\nFinally in the east, you will find \u00d8sterbro. It is out to the sea. Here you find the little mermaid, a statue inspired by the tale of H.C. Andersen, and it is ... little ... indeed. Do not expect something in size of the Statue of Liberty. Well don't actually expect anything.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/copenhagen-neighbourhoods-oesterbro\/\">See the students' take on the \u00d8sterbro district here.<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u00d8sterbro also holds Parken, the Danish national football stadium, and home of FC Copenhagen. Around the stadium lies F\u00e6lledparken, a huge park which is used for recreational sports, barbecues and parties. Every 1st of May it is filled with red flags celebrating the worker's international day, and Copenhageners gather from all over to listen to political speeches, drink beer, and enjoy the spring weather.\r\n\r\n\u00d8sterbro, compared to the rest of the Copenhagen neighborhoods, is generally a very calm and peaceful neighborhood, filled with green areas, nice well-preserved buildings, and very popular for families and elders, but there are also some young life.\n<!-- end of module 8 -->\nMarie, a 33 year old Film- and Media student, explains to the University Post:\r\n\r\n\u00bbThere are some nice green areas. \u00d8stre Anl\u00e6g and Kastellet are nice places to go for a run, and it's close to the water. At Svanem\u00f8llen, they have also made a new beach area. There is a very cool winter bathing club. Besides that, my favorite place is the caf\u00e9, Femmeren. They play jazz, and have quiz nights.\u00ab\r\n\r\nAt the eastern edge of \u00d8sterbro, close to the the North Campus, you can also find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rigshospitalet.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rigshospitalet<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbi.ku.dk\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Niels Bohr Institute<\/a>, home of the physics department at UCPH.\r\n<h2>What's your local secret?<\/h2>\r\nAll of the city's neighborhoods are easily accessible by bicycle, as the streets are full of well-marked bicycle lanes. Just make sure to follow all traffic rules, and signal when turning and changing lanes!\r\n\r\nIf you are new, or just visiting, you are now well informed for a trip around Copenhagen, so grab a bike and a helmet, and go explore!\r\n\r\nAre you a local and want to promote your favourite neighborhood spots?

But if you want to live a life of culture, there is a wide range of experiences in the city of Copenhagen that, with your Student ID card, can be had for just a few kroner.\r\n<h3>Members prices and swing at the Studenterhuset caf\u00e9<\/h3>\r\nIn K\u00f8bmagergade 52, just off the round tower, is the student bar and caf\u00e9, the Studenterhuset. Here there is peace and quiet for reading and a caf\u00e9 atmosphere during daytime, and festivities and live music in the evening. Behind the bar are volunteers, typically exchange students, and they serve everything from latte and blueberry muffins to Paris toasts and specialist beers.\r\n<blockquote>All students at the University of Copenhagen get serious discounts on presentation of a student ID card.<\/blockquote>\r\nAs a student at the University of Copenhagen, you are automatically a member of the Studenterhuset and get a good set of real discounts by showing your student ID card. A beer, for example, costs DKK 27 for members and DKK 37 for other guests. The Studenterhuset also hosts plenty of interesting events. Every Tuesday evening, for example, you can put on your dancing shoes and learn the basic steps of swing. It\u2019s free.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<h3>See the film classics at the Cinemateket<\/h3>\r\nThe Cinemateket is on Gothersgade street and is part of the Danish Film Institute. Here you can both see new films and old classics. A ticket normally costs DKK 80, but if you show your student ID, you get a DKK 10 discount.\r\n\r\nIf you are really into films, you can become a member of the Cinemateket and get up to 40 per cent discount on normal screenings, bring someone with you at membership price, and much more. The membership fee for students is DKK 195, while others pay up to DKK 275. Read more about Cinemateket, and see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfi.dk\/cinemateket\/biograf\">the programme for 2019 here<\/a>.\r\n<h3>Have your coffee at Zaggis<\/h3>\r\nThere is a hidden gem on Frederiksborggade 43. At Caf\u00e9 Zaggis, the barista coffee is not just good, it is cheap, and it includes the milk froth. And it's not just students who can benefit from the student-friendly prices. Everything costs DKK 15, full stop. Both delicious cakes, paninis and various hot and cold drinks you can take with you on your walk around the beautiful lakes of Copenhagen. The bridge Dronning Louises Bro is just a stone's throw from the caf\u00e9, and half of the city's young people hang out here during summer, so there is always something exciting to look at.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n<h3>See DR's choir and orchestras in the concert hall<\/h3>\r\nIn the Koncerthuset hall, you get a discount on most concerts with the Danish National Concert Choir and Danish National Symphony Orchestra, if you are under 30. If you are a student and past 30, your student ID will not help you, unfortunately, even if you, like your young fellow students, live on a student grant (discrimination, DR?).\r\n\r\nWith the discount scheme U30, young people under 30, can for example, get in and see the legendary guitarist John Scofield performing with the DR Big Band on 26th October for half of the ticket price. You can't afford to stay at home.\r\n<h3>Get the cheapest exercise in the swimming pool<\/h3>\r\nQuit the fitness centres \u2013 for DKK 455 (!) you can, as a student, get an annual card for all (!) public swimming pools in the City of Copenhagen. An annual card for non-students usually costs twice the amount. This means that you can swim every day of the week for a whole year in the swimming pool closest to you.\r\n<blockquote>For DKK 455 (!) you can, as a student, get an annual card for all (!) swimming pools in the City of Copenhagen.<\/blockquote>\r\nIf you are studying at South Campus, you might go for a swim in the Frankrigsgade street swimming pool before the lecture. And when you go home, let us say you live in Vesterbro, in the afternoon you can swing past Vesterbro swimming baths.\r\n\r\nThe only thing you need to be aware of is that you can only swim in what is called 'green time', i.e. from the swimming bath's opening hours and until 3 pm.\r\n<h3>Copenhagen Contemporary: International contemporary art<\/h3>\r\nIn an old welding factory building in the Refshale\u00f8en district is the Copenhagen Contemporary (CC) or what is considered the \u00bbCopenhagen International Art Centre\u00ab, as described on the exhibition\u2019s website. As one of Scandinavia's largest exhibition venues for contemporary art, Copenhagen Contemporary has since 2016 exhibited artists like Yoko Ono, Bruce Nauman and Ragnar Kjartansson.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\nIn mid-August, the art centre\u2019s first floor opens, which offers two site-specific exhibitions:<a href=\"https:\/\/copenhagencontemporary.org\/jacob-dahlgren\/\"> 'Art is Life' by the Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgren<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/copenhagencontemporary.org\/christian-lemmerz-lars-top-galia\/\">\u2018Eyescape' by Christian Lemmerz and Lars Top-Galia<\/a> from the band Sort Sol. Right now you can see the exhibition<a href=\"https:\/\/copenhagencontemporary.org\/wu-tsang\/\"> 'Diversity is Real'<\/a> which brings together two notable works by the American film maker and performance artist Wu Tsang.\r\n\r\nAs a student, you can visit the place and see current exhibitions for an entrance fee of DKK 65, a standard admission fee is DKK 90. Copenhagen Contemporary is at Refshalevej 173A.\r\n<h3>Music, comedy and specialist beers at Bartof Caf\u00e9<\/h3>\r\nIf you are studying at Frederiksberg Campus, you should drop by Bartof Caf\u00e9 on Nordre Fasanvej or its little sister Bartof Station, which is near Frederiksberg Metro. There is a 10 per cent study discount on everything here, which consists of beers from micro-breweries like Herslev and Skands, not forgetting their specialist red strawberry\/weissbeer.\r\n<blockquote>Every Tuesday you can get a good laugh at Bartof Caf\u00e9 when there is free comedy<\/blockquote>\r\nThe caf\u00e9s also have small kitchens with simple dishes, and in the evening there is usually live music in different genres. Every Tuesday you can have a good laugh at Bartof Caf\u00e9 when there is free comedy Big Danish comedy names like Frank Hvam, Mick \u00d8gendahl and Christian Fuhlendorff often drop by this special caf\u00e9 on Tuesdays.\r\n<h3>Get the newspaper Information for half price (learn Danish!)<\/h3>\r\n\u00bbSee the graphics and hear the warnings: This is what a loan with a negative interest rate will cost you,\u00ab the newspaper Politiken writes on its website on 5 August. But if you want to know what the loan costs, your curiosity is halted by a big, ugly paywall.\r\n\r\nHere is the solution: For DKK 49 a month, you can, as a young person under 30 (it is apparently not only DR that discriminates against students over 30, but all Danish media) break through the wall. Good for keeping yourself informed, and good for learning Danish if it is not your native language. It is a discount of 50 per cent on a subscription to their digital newspaper. The same is offered by the Danish daily newspaper Information (the monthly price is just DKK 105), Zetland (DKK 64.5) and Berlingske (DKK 49.5).\r\n\r\nPsst...The University Post\u2019s independent journalism is completely free.\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\n","post_title":"Guide: Culture in Copenhagen at student prices","post_excerpt":"It is not impossible to get a daily fix of culture at affordable prices in Copenhagen.

It has been updated 29 June 2019.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"dropcap\">L<\/span>eave Copenhagen with no regrets. This is what it is all about.\r\n\r\nSo we asked Danish and international students at the University of Copenhagen to contribute to this, the ultimate bucket list of must-have experiences in Copenhagen!\r\n<h3>1. Buy a bike<\/h3>\r\nThe city\u2019s hidden caf\u00e9s, perfect picnic spots and other treasures can be best found on two wheels. Not only is it the most common form of transportation, but it is also the cheapest and often the fastest way to get around. Bikes can be purchased in bike shops across the city, police auctions or in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/679190302108427\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook group 'Buy a Bike Copenhagen'.<\/a>\r\n<h3>2. Attend the Stella Polaris Music Festival<\/h3>\r\nAt the end of July and beginning of August, thousands of music fans flock to these free concerts throughout Denmark that host both up-and-coming and established artists. Purchasing beer and cider at the event helps support the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stella-polaris.dk\/%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> free event<\/a>, but many also bring their own beverages.\r\n<h3>3. Stay out past sunrise<\/h3>\r\nTake advantage of the long, Nordic summer sun and end the evening with a kebab (or falafel): a staple in student drinking culture.\r\n<h3>4. Visit the markets in Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\nThe food market at <em>Israel Plads<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/torvehallernekbh.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Torvehallerne <\/a>, can be visited throughout the year, and flea markets (called <em>loppemarkeder<\/em> in Danish) are open during the summer months. <a href=\"https:\/\/studenterhuset.com\/en\/store\/fleamarket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Studenterhuset <\/a>regularly houses an indoor student market.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<h3>5. Attend the matriculation ceremony<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s a great opportunity to begin the academic year by meeting other students and university staff over free drinks and food. <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/pictures-from-the-matriculation-ceremony-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> See the University Post's photo series from the 2018 matriculation <\/a>.\r\n<h3>6. Attend your department\u2019s introduction trip or <em>rustur<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe trip often takes place the weekend before your classes start as a way to bond with other new students in your field. But beware: the trips are <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/rituals-for-new-students-involved-profanity-sexism-degradation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> notorious <\/a> for non-stop drinking and occasional hazing.\r\n<h3>7. Live in a student dormitory or shared apartment for at least one semester<\/h3>\r\nHaving other students around provides you with a wider social network and the opportunity for unexpected friendships. See the University Post's series <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/tag\/dorms-disclosed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Dorms Disclosed <\/a> to help you find which dorm might suit you best.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n<h3>8. Participate in a sports team<\/h3>\r\nThe student sports association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usg.dk\/signup\/emne\/\">KSI<\/a> offers everything from climbing and kayaking, to yoga and burlesque or handball and water polo.\r\n<h3>9. Sign up for a class that has nothing to do with your study area<\/h3>\r\nAt a university that offers classes about topics ranging from beer brewing to terrorism, you can't afford not to.\r\n<h3>10. Skip your 8 am class at least once and still manage to get a good grade<\/h3>\r\nSometimes more important things, like concerts, midnight movies, or unexpected nights out, require your attention instead.\r\n<h3>11. Take a foreign language course<\/h3>\r\nIf you\u2019re an international student, learning a bit of Danish will give you a more enriched and easier experience living in Denmark. If you're a Danish student, you should take advantage of the many language opportunities. For example, through <em><a href=\"http:\/\/aabentuniversitet.hum.ku.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u00c5bent Universitet <\/a><\/em> and brush up on your Spanish or Arabic to make you a more competitive hire and a savvy traveler.\r\n<h3>12. Go dumpster diving<\/h3>\r\nA student budget can often use a little boost, and with people finding everything from olives to marzipan, to blueberries, it wouldn\u2019t hurt to save a couple kroner and try it out. Join this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/591326754289085\/?fref=mentions&__xts__[0]=68.ARA88q5FwSiOisEfTsiSx96hT9_8k50SzLuBsboL9mwvNK7OvY_cvVs-D6cm2HI2UkEbZ4ECYDhsEnDPu4mLndFRH6eCGV_6drjEQIm6HOGKArIAPv4S0ijDnMsQQbxNzbxVCetDvow1WFdsyd6F5YA1eKGUkvouD10khmDnXkGtEAE3oFBH9-vaqhopMmaCe0PrqPwdRxTDOBCwxEUzxuHGURkzpm0ue7uBGla9MukmvRqTLIA4zPTcqCyakr2q5PD2HKo5V_ftT4tw6FgLW0HctiBWiQJLBGWP3SzYIK2jmMRx_fOArrADCuPgN9xGuaMrZZac5X1fdIgopdMhS4-5Og&__tn__=K-R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> facebook group <\/a>. But don\u2019t forget about <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/night-patrol-dumpster-diving-food-copenhagen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> proper dumpster diving etiquette <\/a>.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\n<h3>13. Get a student job<\/h3>\r\nEven students on non-EU visas can work up to 15 hours a week, so find something to supplement your income. If you enjoy writing, you could even apply to the University Post or our Danish counterpart, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uniavisen.dk\">Uniavisen<\/a>.<\/em>\r\n<h3>14. Experience Culture Night<\/h3>\r\nPeople can, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kulturnatten.dk\/en\/culture-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> for one night a year <\/a>, take part in cultural events from watching a drag show to checking out the university's normally closed-off laboratories, as well as gaining access into many of the city\u2019s museums for free.\r\n<h3>15. Watch a movie (or two) at Copenhagen Dox<\/h3>\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/cphdox.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> documentary festival <\/a> shows documentaries from all over the world and made on an endless number of subjects, so you\u2019re bound to find something you enjoy. If you don\u2019t have the time or money and are lucky, they will show some of the movies for free online at the end of the series.\r\n<h3>16. Spend all day at a caf\u00e9<\/h3>\r\nStudying, reading, catching up with a friend, anything.\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\n<h3>17. Get out of Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\nExchange students need to remember that Denmark isn\u2019t just Copenhagen, and Danes need to remember there are beautiful places between their parents' home and school. For a smaller commitment: a day trip to <a href=\"http:\/\/J\u00e6gersborg_Dyrehavehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/\"><em>Dyrehaven<\/em> (the deer park)<\/a> or <em>Roskilde<\/em>. For the ambitious: <em>Skagen, Bornholm<\/em>, or <em>M\u00f8ns Klint<\/em>.\r\n<h3>18. Check out the view from the Church of our Saviour (Vor Frelsers Kirke)<\/h3>\r\nThis <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vorfrelserskirke.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> church in Christianshavn <\/a> offers an unbeatable view of the city on a sunny day.\r\n<h3>19. Watch a football game at Parken<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.teliaparken.dk\/kalender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Denmark's largest stadium <\/a> which is just around the corner for many students at the University of Copenhagen's North Campus. Even if you\u2019re not a sports fan, you can still enjoy the beer, hotdogs, crowd, and, likely, even some fireworks.\r\n<h3>20. Volunteer<\/h3>\r\nVolunteering is a great opportunity to meet other people with similar interests and values. Some examples throughout the city are volunteering with asylum seekers, supporting local, organic farms in Copenhagen, or being a barista or bartender. Try <a href=\"http:\/\/trampolinehouse.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Trampoline House <\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/kbhff.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Copenhagen's Food Co-operative <\/a>, or at <em><a href=\"http:\/\/studenterhuset.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Studenterhuset <\/a><\/em>.\n<!-- end of module 5 -->\n<h3>21. Take part in a student protest or cause<\/h3>\r\nStudents are traditionally loud voices in protests, whether it be for animal rights, anti-racism or against education cuts, so join the cause and make your opinion heard. A few years ago for example, tens of thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/30000-protested-against-danish-cuts-to-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students protested cuts to education<\/a>.\r\n<h3>22. Walk in the botanical gardens<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/botanik.snm.ku.dk\/english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> The gardens <\/a> are open for a large part of the year, and while you\u2019re\u00a0sitting at the Social Science Library stressing out about finals, a quick walk in the calm, beautiful nature right in the city centre can be a great stress reliever.\r\n<h3>23. Study in the Royal Library<\/h3>\r\nNot only is the exercise to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the library <\/a> good for you, but the Royal Library (<em>Det Kongelige Bibliotek<\/em>) is a study haven. With a caf\u00e9, public computers, room for groups and a silent, beautiful study room with antique green lamps and blankets, you'll be inspired to come back and finish that paper.\n<!-- end of module 6 -->\n<h3>24. Take advantage of half off drink nights<\/h3>\r\nBuying a delicious whiskey sour or a cucumber ginger collins is that much easier when they are the same price as a beer.\r\n<h3>25. Attend a lecture at the university<\/h3>\r\nWhether you want to listen to a <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/ex-nato-boss-and-danish-pm-anders-fogh-rasmussen-to-speak-at-ucph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> former Prime Minister <\/a> speak or hear about the <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/erotic-capital-danish-women-losing-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> power of sexuality, <\/a> the university hosts hundreds of talks a year. If you're lucky, you may even find an advisor or inspiration for your thesis.\r\n<h3>26. Host or attend a Tour de Chambre Party<\/h3>\r\nDespite the French name, Tour de Chambre parties are extremely popular among Danish students, so begin planning the theme and drink for your room now.\r\n<h3>27. Go to Christiania<\/h3>\r\nAn autonomous largely self-sustaining community constructed in an abandoned military barracks, Christiania is a huge cultural hub in the city. They have free concerts, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scienceandcocktails.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science and cocktails<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morgenstedet.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a tasty vegetarian restaurant<\/a>, and a beautiful waterfront.\n<!-- end of module 7 -->\n<h3>28. Attend Friday bar<\/h3>\r\nEach campus hosts a Friday bar with different perks. Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/the-great-ucph-friday-bar-guide\/\">great University of Copenhagen Friday Bar guide.<\/a>\r\n<h3>29. Visit Tivoli<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s a given, as one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tivoli.dk\/en\/program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> most popular attractions in the city-centre <\/a>, but remember to go before it closes, as <em>Tivoli<\/em> is only open summer, Christmas, and Halloween. The University Post recommends either the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fredagsrock.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> friday night concerts <\/a> or the Christmas themed Tivoli, full of <em>gl\u00f8gg<\/em> and <em>\u00e6bleskiver<\/em>.\r\n<h3>30. Experience a Danish <em>julefrokost<\/em><\/h3>\r\nFor the internationals that have never experienced one, they have very specific food and customs, like eating herring and rye bread, and drinking lots and lots of snaps. Be sure to also play a round or two of <em>pakkeleg<\/em>!\r\n<h3>31. Pull an all-nighter finishing a project or term paper<\/h3>\r\n24-hour access to libraries during exam periods ensures that you wont fall asleep on your computer as easily. Some libraries at the University of Copenhagen have access 24\/7 with a library card.\n<!-- end of module 8 -->\n<h3>32. Experience a Copenhagen New Year<\/h3>\r\nWith easy accessibility to fireworks and champagne, the night can get a little bit crazy, but the views are amazing. The University Post recommends standing near the lakes, near <em>Dronning Louise's Bro<\/em> as it offers a 365-degree view of the city's fireworks. Remember your protective goggles!\r\n<h3>33. Celebrate Fastelavn<\/h3>\r\nThis, a Danish festival mostly for kids, but more and more for grown ups too, lets you get dressed up in weird costumes, bash a barrel with a bat, and eat candy.\r\n<h3>34. Take advantage of the Copenhagen music scene<\/h3>\r\nWhile the city attracts world-renowned artists, it's also a great opportunity to learn about popular Danish artists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M5uIVBxWZVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> M\u00f8<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OqGBJRKcvFM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Rasmus Seebach<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OY9eTihrKM0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Nephew<\/a>. Popular venues include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livenation.dk\/venue\/4638\/falconer-salen-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> Falconer Salen<\/em> <\/a> and <em><a href=\"http:\/\/vega.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Vega <\/a><\/em>.\r\n<h3>35. Take advantage of small Danish holidays, especially in the spring<\/h3>\r\nIs it Saint Martin\u2019s Day (<em>Mortensaften<\/em>)? Have some duck or goose. Great Prayer Day (<em>Store Bededag<\/em>)? Try some traditional Danish hvede buns. If it's a public holiday with no school, it may also be the perfect opportunity to take a day trip.\n<!-- end of module 9 -->\n<h3>36. Get published in the University Post<\/h3>\r\nHave a strong opinion about the university, student culture, or something else related? Did you take a great photo at a protest or social event? Submit your work and get yourself seen and heard.\r\n<h3>37. Visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art<\/h3>\r\nIt is well worth the 45-minute trip out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.louisiana.dk\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the museum<\/a>. Louisiana is secluded, surrounded by a garden, and overlooks the <em>\u00d8resund<\/em> straights. Leave enough time to see the exhibitions as well as a picnic outdoors or a meal in their deluxe cafeteria.\r\n<h3>38. Have a drink on Dronning Louises Bro<\/h3>\r\nIt's a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitcopenhagen.com\/copenhagen\/dronning-louises-bro-gdk699876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a bridge <\/a> crossing the lakes just north of the city-centre. Definitely go on the first sunny day of spring. You'll be far from the only person enjoying the sun and the atmosphere.\r\n<h3>39. Go to Distortion Festival<\/h3>\r\nThe city\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cphdistortion.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> biggest street party <\/a> takes place every June and is packed with people, crowded around parks and music stages. Best of all, it's free.\n<!-- end of module 10 -->\n<h3>40. Run around the lakes<\/h3>\r\nOr walk. As a <a href=\"http:\/\/da.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/S%C3%B8erne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> popular destination <\/a> for many people, it's worth it to make the whole loop, which brings you along the edges of Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, N\u00f8rrebro, \u00d8sterbro and City Center, and reminds you to get out of the neighbourhoods you live and study in.\r\n<h3>41. Take a weekend trip to Stockholm or Berlin<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s easy to travel to these two European capitals on the cheap. Train tickets to Stockholm, if bought far enough in advance, can be as little as 300 DKK round trip. Roundtrip to Berlin is closer to 350 DKK. Both destinations are also frequented by budget airlines.\r\n<h3>42. Give yourself long-weekends<\/h3>\r\nWhen setting your university timetable, try to pick classes which will allow you to have Fridays and Mondays off, giving you the long-weekends you need to take trips to the above cities!\r\n<h3>43. Visit the Danish Parliament<\/h3>\r\nThe parliamentary building <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is open for visitors <\/a> and the ambitious are welcome to come and listen to parliamentary discussions.\n<!-- end of module 11 -->\n<h3>44. Get on Tinder<\/h3>\r\nThe dating app has been a <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/tinder-has-set-students-campus-dating-fire%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a favourite among Copenhagen students <\/a> so checking out this social experiment, even just to browse, is worth the download.\r\n<h3>45. Attend Roskilde Music Festival<\/h3>\r\nA world-famous eight-day <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roskilde-festival.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> music festival <\/a> in the nearby city of Roskilde. While crowded, sticky tents pitched on beer-soaked fields and drunk people running around might not be everyone's cup of tea, it\u2019s an unforgettable and wonderful experience. At least consider a day pass to see artists such as the Rolling Stones or Pharrell Williams.\r\n<h3>46. Swim in the ocean<\/h3>\r\nOr even skinny dip if you dare. Yes, in the ocean that surrounds Copenhagen. Both Amager Strandpark and Bellevue Strand are worth the bike ride, but harbours throughout the city itself also provide quick and easy access to the water.\r\n<h3>47. Try a local brewery<\/h3>\r\nIt's easy to get sucked into the beers as pervasive as Carlsbergs and Tuborg, but also be sure to check out microbreweries in the city, like <a href=\"http:\/\/mikkeller.dk\/mikkeller-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Mikkeller <\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hancock.dk\/oel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Hancock <\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noerrebrobryghus.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> N\u00f8rrebro Bryghus <\/a> that serve more than just a standard pilsner.\n<!-- end of module 12 -->\n<h3>48. Participate in graduation<\/h3>\r\nThis varies from department to department, so whether that means a party for defending your thesis or a reception with fellow graduates, enjoy the company and free refreshments.\r\n<h3>49. Spend the summer in Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\nWith school out, you\u2019ll have more time to embrace the city for what it is and if you\u2019re lucky, good weather will mean more time to spend outside during those white summer nights.\r\n<h3>50. Study abroad<\/h3>\r\nUnfortunately the city and university can't offer everything, and getting away will make you appreciate all the amazing things they can actually offer.\r\n\r\nFinishing off all 50 of these certainly makes for a fully-packed UCPH student experience.
