Buy

Price level

Compared to Finland, the cost of living level is 139 (2007). Housing is very expensive even though prices have dropped in the wake of the housing bubble. Rental housing is still very expensive and rents for apartment buildings are still rising. In Denmark, electricity, water and heating costs (the most common type of gas heating) are about twice as expensive as in Finland.

In Köpeenhamina, hotel prices are almost double compared to Finland. Downtown Scandic normally charges € 250 per night. However, there are also cheap hotels in the city center, even under 100e / double rooms. The cheapest of the accommodations are youth hostels and the so-called sleep-in, sleeping approx.20-50e per person. Similarly, you can also find food at a relatively low price in Denmark. The price of a great standing table on Copenhagen's pedestrian street, Stroeget's Chinese, is about 10 e (in 2009) and there are other options. Fine a´la karte restaurants are expensive and the relatively strong exchange rate of the Danish krone against the euro has made prices more expensive for euro tourists than before.

In Denmark, VAT is 25% on almost all products and services. The price level of restaurants is slightly more expensive than the average in Finland, and in the grocery store the price level is more or less the same. There are more cheap Lidl-type supermarkets in Denmark than in Finland, and the price level is quite reasonable. As in the Nordic countries, alcohol taxation is high, but alcoholic beverages are cheaper or at the same price compared to Finland.

Denmark is also famous for the car tax, which is even bigger than Finland, about 190%. If you export an already taxed and used car from the EU to Denmark, you will still have to pay 60% of the registration fee of the car's market value.
