Morning I am in Manchester Airport and I was wondering shall I fit a Quick Trip in before Christmas one thing I’ve realized after being to the Arctic and America is how expensive travel is getting because it is getting more expensive so I woke up this morning and
I thought why don’t I do an experiment I’ll come to the airport I’ll book a flight at the airport the cheapest one so I don’t know where I’m going yet and then see how cheaply I can get food wherever I go and get a cheap hotel and
Just see how much a trip would actually cost me so that’s exactly what I’m going to do so I’m literally walking through the car park to Terminal 1 we’re going to try Terminal 1 first go to the ticket office there and see what cheap flight they’ve got going out in the next few
Hours there might not even be one for all I know they might be fully bucked but we’re going to find out how CH reckon I can get a flight this is going to be an interesting one I just want to thank revolute for supporting my travels and for sponsoring this video if you

Was last time probably before Co right so that flight with a booking fee has cost me 10465 in total with the revolute I can manage all my expenses in the app so so we’ll see how much I spend in total at the end 10465 for that flight it is a lot but I
Suppose at the same time it is on the same day so it is always going to be a bit more either way the cheapest airline to fly out of Manchester Airport is ryion air and that is the cheapest ryion air flight so it is what it is right let’s get through
Security security done from bucking the flight to the flight taking off I’ve got exactly 2 and 1/2 hours so plenty of time where am I going now I don’t even know what gate it is here we go Copenhagen gate 48 if I remember rightly I remember Copenhagen being super
Expensive the last time I went so it’ll be interesting to see how cheap I can get a hotel cheers buddy thank you cheers than very much Dr thank you right here we go 1 hour 50 minute flight to Copenhagen I just sat on the plane next
To Kyle mate are you a red or a blue I’m a red you’re a red Happy Days first time in Copenhagen mate yeah is it first time I can’t wait for it m I literally booked the flight when I got to the airport you pay pennies for it m guess how much for
A flight to Copenhagen and I booked it when I got to the airport you are very welcome 104 quid that’s de that it yeah I suppose it is last minute though isn’t it how much did you pay for this flight 25 25 quid and how far along ago did you
Book it today tring on a month ago ah so goes to show if you book it before you get to the airport it is cheaper that’s a problem with me though I never book the flights long enough to get them cheap enough yeah not really much of a
Last minute person myself aren’t you like how long do you normally book the flights before you go to be honest this is as last minute as I go I’m like a 6 month before ah you 6 month so this is the earliest you’ve booked the flight a
Month before mine are always like super last minute hence paying 104 quid genuinely I don’t even know what I’m doing next week at this right really man honestly next stop Copenhagen Denmark thanks very much have a nice night and we are in Copenhagen and I can tell you it is a lot more colder here than it is in Manchester what you reckon Kyle colder here than in Manchester mate freezing we made it though I can’t believe it’s pitch black here it’s only
Are 4 4:30 and it’s pitch black nearly bed sir yeah exactly I need to find out where I’m sleeping tonight mate feel for you mate but I’ve got a nice warm bed waiting for me so right let’s get through this airport hopefully it’s not going to take too long the cheapest way
I think I’m going to be able to get into Copenhagen from here is going to be the train Kyle’s heading to the train station as well we’ll try and figure it out together mate yeah it’s your first time here as well is it indeed mate and
I’ve never been to the train station so we’re going to adventure together mate right here we go mate passport control just come through passport control just looking for the train station when’s your train 5:30 mate mate you’ve literally got 40 minutes I re will’ll be all right though just got to get out
This airport first mate if you miss your train I’ll be booking a twin room tonight right we’re just exting through the airport now here we go mate we got the train or the Metro what you reckon you’re after the train you reckon I’m train or Metro I imagine Metro for you
Mate unfortunately let’s have a look ah yeah tickets for train Metro and bus it’s all in one is it the train or the Metro I need to get to Copenhagen Central Station yeah to the city center yeah then it will be train fact number two it’ll be the train is that the
Cheapest option from the Metro or the bus or ticket is identical identical so it’s the same ticket whether you choose pass train on Metro okay and I can purchase the ticket here you P English then City perfect thank you right I’ve selected English choose area City Center Copenhagen Central one adult now stand
Is that right continue insert card ticket printing no receipt right here we go right I’ve got my tickets 30 cronas see just over there am I over there am I sure where are yous I’m at 1 looks like it’s time to go our separate ways mate Kyle it’s been an absolute
Pleasure mate lovely to meet you have a good one with you m mate he’s not seen his girlfriend for 5 months first time mate so nice to meet you mate look after yourself up the Reds see you later Kyle what a guy right I need to go to
Platform 2 now which I believe is down here so this train has just cost me 30 Danish croners which is £347 so that’s pretty cheap is this the one I need to get on um I’m sure this might be it excuse me does this go to Copenhagen Central it does perfect thank
You this has to be the busiest and quietest train I have ever been on we’re moving I’m just looking at the board and it says we get into the Central Station at 5:15 so it’s only 15 minutes direct into the center fair play that’s pretty cheap and quick right here we go we
Coming into Central Station and I’ve arrived in Copenhagen Central it’s quite dull cold and people aren’t that friendly if I’m honest I don’t think I’ve seen one person smile since I’ve come out the airport yet we’re in the main train station out look at that massive Christmas tree fair play
They’ve made an effort I tell you what though for a train station this is pretty Posh look at it how cool is that all the Denmark flags are along it’s like a medieval train station coming out the train station into the cold and we are in Copenhagen not a clue where we go
From here though where’s the center from looking at the map on my phone we’re obviously in the center that’s why it’s called Central Station but look at it in the back the train station looks like a castle it’s definitely starting to liveen up now though I think I’m well
And truly in the center live music restaurants you name it it is actually rammed in the center after having a quick little walk around the center this place is lovely so many people cycle in this city but the buildings everything just looks so nice
Right the plan now I need to eat so far I have spent £182 so we’re going to try and get a cheap meal ideally something decent that’s local apparently Copenhagen is not cheap at all it’s super expensive so we’ll see how much we can get some food

Burger van over there I think we might be able to do better than that what’s this here Swiss raclet what on Earth is Swiss Rock light how nice is this with being an American being the artist this is the first Christmas Market I’ve done this year oh look at these hot dogs how
Good do they look right I’ve just walked through the start of the Christmas Market so there’s some Huts here but look at this across the road that looks ridiculous and there’s even fire on the top of it here we go I think we’re going to get into the thick of it now how
Amazing is this this is like the main entrance not a lot oh this is the exit how’ you get in oh don’t tell me you need a ticket Excuse me yes do you have to buy a ticket for this um to get into um if you have a and this line is I
Think if you already have if you already have one okay cool thank you so much right let’s try the other line but there is no way I am not making it into there tonight just in the queue to buy a ticket now this is going to be eaten
Into the budget right here we go adult 155 Crona Hi how are you can I have one ticket yes of course 155 thank you so much welome you can tap on the left tap on the left that’s great thank you so much thank you so one ticket has worked out to
£7.92 could have done without it but it’s not the end of the world cuz this place looks really cool this is like Santa’s Village look at it oh this is the real deal this is and this is where the proper food is what are you making here mate almonds with sugar and
Cinnamon almonds with sugar and cinnamon sounds good thank you mate I think I’ll keep the nuts for later cuz I want to get some proper food this is so nice little pretzels here I’ve been to a fair few Christmas markets over the years and I you would see on first sight this is
Up there look at this you’ve got a full light show on the building at the back Christmas tree windmills over here and then you’ve got that main walk which I just come down look at this this is impressive I’ve never seen so many Christmas trees in my life we got a fair
Ride there Santa’s Grotto in the back I could really do with some food here though this place is so cool and there is so many places to visit here you got beer on tap over here where can I eat right this has got a big queue that’s
Always a good sign but is that a beer yeah that’s for beer you’ve got like bars and restaurants all along there I’m not really looking for a restaurant meal though just want to get something from one of these Huts right I think we’ve hit the jackpot hot dog stand here we go
We’ve got the hot dog heighten I think that’s how you say it right what have we got here classic Hot Dog Christmas hot dog French hot dog or sausage and bread I can’t say I’ve ever had a Christmas hot dog before and I think it would be
Really rude food not to have the Christmas hot dog Hi how are you can I get one Christmas hot dog please yes thank you anything else uh no that’s everything thank you be 55 55 croner sure all good yes you like the receipt um no it’s fine it just comes out the
Other side ises it yes perfect thank you you hot dog uh yeah christas hot dog yeah thank you how many hot dogs have you sold today too many a lot yeah too many you want everything on it right uh everything on it yeah thank you thank
You so much that looks amazing thank you you too have a good one here we go verdict on the Christmas hot dog that’s really good the Christmas hot dog gets a solid 9 and 1/2 out of 10 the only way it could be a 10 is if it had
Ketchup on it look at this place how nice is this place it doesn’t even look like a Christmas Market looks like a little village so that Christmas hot dog just cost me 55 Danish cronas which is £6 36 in Sterling and it was worth every penny with revolute you can get a great
Exchange rate as I’ve proven in multiple videos in multiple countries so at least I’ve got the piece of Mind knowing I am not being screwed and I’m saving money the current spend for this trip so far is £ 13240 it’s a bit more than I thought at
This point if I’m completely honest but the flight is what set us back I tell you what though this place is not a Christmas Market this is like a theme park this it’s massive what Christmas Market has one ride after another ride after another ride there is no way this
Is a Christmas Market there’s a roller coaster here I think it’d be a pretty poor show for me if I come all this way and not going to ride I don’t know I’m going to film it but we’ll work that bit out in a minute right here we go I think this is
The entrance for it I’ve not even booked a hotel yet my priorities are all wrong right which way are we going I haven’t even got a ticket can you buy like a single ticket to go on one ride from here yeah I can buy it I can buy it here
Yeah perfect thank you how much is it for one ticket uh 90 90 croner perfect thank you here we go my first roller coaster in Denmark I don’t know if you can call it a roller coaster but let’s see how this goes it’s a bit concerning that everybody else riding this ride is
About 10 years old can I buy one yeah you can buy one perfect thank you is that all good thank you my bag where does this go just put it opposite side right wish me luck oh my God there we go oh my God it is freezing oh my God it’s
Actually pretty high when I got to Manchester Airport this morning I did not think I would be on a roller coaster in Denmark help that was not the best ideas after that hot dog that sent me back 90 Crona which is £10 40 so in total now we’ve spent £
14280 could have probably done without the roller coaster time’s getting on now and I really need to book a hotel so I’m going to leave this Christmas Market SL theme park and then we’ll go from there I tell you what I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in here I’ve only just
Realized the place is called the tiv and I highly recommend it if anybody’s here before Christmas because you could literally spend all day in there thank you so much thank you and there we have it the tiv I’m going to miss that it’s getting later and it’s getting colder so
I need to look for a hotel where would I find the cheapest hotel I’m going to check booking.com I’m going to put in Copenhagen Center in and then I’m going to sort it out from the cheapest to the most expensive right the cheapest one is this one it’s called Dan hostel
Copenhagen City and apartment and as you can see there for one night it’s £ 20 £20 for a night in a very expensive Ive city is not bad at all but obviously it depends on how many people are in a room cuz it is a hostile looking at the map
It is saying it is a 14 minute walk from where I am now so say booking it online I’m just going to go straight there and bck it there oh it’s cold flipping he I tell you what from walking around this city since I’ve got here I have not
Spotted one bit of rubbish on the floor not one and I still haven’t Copenhagen is a class place to be fair right I’m just coming to it now this is it it says dan hostel on the building and this is the building here it’s a big hostel that
It’s the biggest hostel I’ve ever seen right let’s see what the situation is this is it here massive Hi how are you I have no booking but just looking for whatever option you’ve got thank you there’s an option on booking.com that says £20 I don’t know
If that’s in a dorm or it’s probably in the D okay cool is for one night just for one night yeah thank you what is the cheapest option you have that would be a dormatory bed a dormatory bed would be the cheapest option okay cool it would
Be 167 denish crowns for tonight would be around yeah 19 20 okay perfect I’ll take that if that’s okay how many beds are in the door probably going to be eight beds eight beds in the door is it busy tonight or so right now there are
Four people in the four people in there and four empty spaces perfect this is like the biggest hostel I’ve seen it’s massive how many like beds do you have in the whole 1,20 beds 1,20 beds in the whole building wow it’s one of the biggest city hustles in uh Europe really biggest
City hustle in Europe wow now I need some informations here no problem where are you from are you from Denmark or I grew up in Germany ah okay nice yeah so I’m actually from Germany but my parents are dennish what do you prefer Germany or Denmark to live I would say Denmark
Really why is it better here than Germany or people more here really which part of how many were you cologne cologne okay nice so it would be 167 and for the perect thank you 33 is going to be your room number it’s on the third floor bed sheets and towels you need to
Wbp over there from the trolley take one package out to your room make your bed then when you check that please return it here again okay perfect thanks so much for you really appreciate help thank you right let me get the bed sheet and towel elevator a here we
Go right right here we go floor three I haven’t stayed in a hostel for ages what number did she say room 13313 so it’s down here so there are four other people in my room I have no clue whether they’re in the room now or whether they’re out partying but we’re
Going to find out who are we going to be greeted with there we go right I’ve got two people sleeping in there so I need to be quiet but this is the bathroom we’ve got a shower there got a toilet and we’ve got a sink I tell
You what let me go outside so I don’t wake anybody up I thought I’d come out because there’s two of the four people that are in my room sleeping and I definitely don’t fancy waking them up so the hostel ended up being £1 1987 which brings the grand total of the
Trip to £ 16267 I don’t think that’s too bad considering the flight was4 of that can you imagine if I had a booked earlier it would have obviously been a lot cheaper and the whole trip would have been under £100 I don’t think that’s bad I’m going

Thank you so much for all the support this year, it means more than you know! I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas and new year! 🎅🏼🎄
Here’s to 2024 and a lot more adventures 😎 all the best ❤️
It’s not Europe without random honking
damn there are everywhere
Is that Harry Maguire
Your the best stay safe
Love denmark
Nice vid my sincerely mate!
Honestly think airlines are missing a trick! Having a lucky dip flight desk for people who just turn up and want to go anywhere. They get to fill their flights where they would elsewhere have empty seats! Having a £50 additional charge is crazy!
Good man lost weight, must be boycotting McDonalds😁
I live in Guernsey and I fly from T3 at Manchester Airport, with our airline Aurigny. Hope you can come visit us at some point!
IT was glass clear that the girl is Germany…
could have just used skyscanner and gone anywhere
Simons positive energy is so contagious and refreshing
Hi Simon, I just stumbled across you recently on YouTube and I must say that I am loving your content. Where are you going next ?
OMG… where to start with this video! 😀 I went to Copenhagen last year as part of a Scandy trip including Stockholm and Gothenburg – it was actually about £100 RETURN (albeit booked several months in advance). The people are lovely and altogether more 'low-key', which probably doesn't fit into Simon's vibe of chatting at people endlessly needing help and being clueless – generally everyone's a bit more easygoing!
I visited Copenhagen mainly for Tivoli Gardens, being a theme park fan. The ignorance to this landmark is just staggering, surely a bit of research helps but Simon loves being totally in the dark and 'winging it', that's the brand, I know! Things are more expensive but so is the quality of life, you don't have to be quite so astonished about a place being clean and pretty to look at!
This was a real mismatch of person and destination, but nonetheless a fun watch as always! 😀
Was this a 24 minute commercial for your sponsor?
Skyscanner it next time
Surviving on one hot dog, sharing a room with others and not having a return flight isnt a holiday!! Its like the worlds worst emigration!!
Please go to NZ!
Good vid as usual, banged on about revolute a bit too much though.
I’m going through Simon withdrawals. When is your next video?
mate – it's madness that you didn't just do sky scanner!
Always remember to ask the locals. Even though the danes not smile spontaneously, they would always help you if you ask them. So Finding the cheapest food or bed could be easy if you ask someone. Buying a bag of bread and some topping could help you through a weekend very cheap.
We can't wait to see another travel video Simon! Peace eh! 🙂
Why you getting nothing free . No good
It's great until you want to pay for parking at the airport for a couple of days. Costs more than the flights. Rip off uk.
Hello there mate
Tivoli is world's oldest amusement park
Mate just use sky scanner! Surely you know that by now 😂😂😂
Total? You did not include return flight.
Crazy that you walked right past Hasbulla at 4:35 😂
Just goes to show how much research goes into some of these videos – not knowing what Tivoli is is just shameful 😀
simons such i geniuine guy, i love him
