Credit Cards
Major credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, stores, cafes and restaurants. Be prepared to present a picture ID when using a credit card.
ATMs/cash machines
ATMs offer a convenient way of withdrawing Danish money on a credit or debit card. Most banks have these machines, and all major cards are accepted (be sure to have your PIN code).
The most common credit card in Denmark is Visa, but you should have no problem finding ATMs that accept Mastercard or American Express as well.

Banks are open from 09.30 to 16.00 (4 p.m.) on weekdays with late hours until 17.30 (5.30 p.m.) on Thursdays (closed Saturdays and Sundays). There numerous cash machines throughout the city and the plentiful bureaux de change are open weekends.
