I have heard that the cost of living is significantly higher in Copenhagen. Is that true (if you choose to live outside of the city center)?
I’m American, so the idea of emigrating to the EU feels mostly moot, but it’s fun to consider alternatives.
- magduf 8y agoYes, it's pretty well-known that Denmark is on average a much more expensive place to live than Germany (esp. east Germany).
- lagadu 8y agoNot the person you replied to but I can answer: yes. Yes it is.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoYes, cost of living is relatively high in Denmark in general, and especially (housing costs) if you want to live in Copenhagen proper. Personally, I think it's worth it, for one of the safest, happiest and fairest countries in the world. We do however stock up on a lot of stuff like cosmetics and shampoo and such, which costs almost 3 times as much in Denmark, compared to Germany.
- germinalphrase 8y agoThank you. We have extended family (cousins) on my wife’s side of the family that are Danish. Lovely people. My wife and I have toyed with the idea of moving near them; however, we are in careers that would make likely make that process very challenging (k12 teacher & mental health therapist are unlikely to be in such high demand to obtain occupational sponsorship).
