Places to visit in Denmark

When flights to each destination are cheapest.

Copenhagen: The cheapest months to fly to Copenhagen are January through March (excluding holidays), when round-trip fares from major US hubs can run $450-650 compared to $900-1,300 in peak summer (June-August), savings of roughly 40-50%. Flying midweek (Tuesday or Wednesday departures) shaves an additional 10-15% off fares versus weekend travel.

A day on the ground for one person travelling alone, before flights: somewhere to sleep, food, something to do and getting around.
