Currency
Though Denmark is a part of the European Union, it still retains its own currency, the Danish krone. Most places accept VISA as well as MasterCard with chip. Please note that you need the PIN code in order to pay with a VISA or MasterCard debit card. Cash is also accepted, though less common. Both the main train station and the airport have places where you can purchase some kroner to use during your visit (though you are unlikely to need them).
Climate
Copenhagen is in the oceanic climate zone. During the summer months (June-August), the typical temperatures range from 22°C (72°F) during the day to 14°C (57°F) at night. Winter temperatures often hover about the freezing point. During February, the coldest month, the average high is 2°C (36°F) and the low is –3°C (27°F).
