What things cost in Denmark

You can pay with Euro bills, no coins, in many places, but usually at a bad exchange rate.
You better have credit cards like VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Diners, VISA electron and EC/Maestro.
And you should definitely have some of your own money exchanged into Danish currency. I'm not really aware, where you can get the best exchange rate. I have a 6th sence telling me that the worst place to do it, is in the airport. There is a small cash exchange office just next to the place, where you'll be waiting for your luggage to arrive. Sorry, but I did not think about to have a look, when I was there a few weeks back, at what prices they had. But it's an option...
Or maybe you can do it in a bank in your own country...

Then I think I'll better try and buy the money here while I'm still home. Good thing I have a Visa though.

Hmm,

I'm not going to buy al lot of Danish crowns here, don't want to carry all that much cash around, however, my atm card will work in Denmark for getting cash, the exchange costs will be somewhat bad though.

But, since the Rates in Denmark for euro to DKK won't be too bad I might bring some cash euros.

I've been told (by colleagues who travel to Denmark regularly) that the cheapest and most efficient way to get Danish crowns is to use a EC / Maestro card at a cash dispenser.
