Cheap Hotels in Old Town

EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in Copenhagen

Neighborhood Description

Old Town is the geographic center of Copenhagen. Its primary claim to fame? Strøget, Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street. (Don't look for it on a map—it's made up of five different streets, and none share its name.) Anchored on the west by Råadhuspadsen with a host of souvenir shops, Strøget slopes east to Kongens Nytorv, the shops increasing in style (and price) along the way. For non-shoppers it offers an array of fountains, cafés, and people-watching.

In addition to a smorgasbord of shopping, Old Town is also home to a student friendly and plaza packed Latin Quarter and to the historical and political center of the city, Slotsholmen. Oh, and to hotels. This being the fashionable district and the city's center (and expensive Copehagen), most hotels of Old Town are not what we'd call cheap, but for those who insist on being in the center of things, there are deals to be had.
