🇩🇰 For CHEAPER than a UK train I flew to DENMARK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I visited FC Copenhagen and Brondby IF in the capital of Denmark. They play in the Parken Stadion & Brondby Stadion respectively.
These two football clubs contest the Copenhagen derby. I wanted to see if I could fly to Denmark, visit both stadiums, take in Copenhagen and drink a Carlsberg for less than a train ticket in the UK!

What other European countries should I visit in 2023?
Liechtenstein
Croatia 😗
Poland
FRANCE
Germany. Kosovo would be an interesting one, too.
Class video mate. Please come back to Denmark when the Superliga is on again. Denmark (and the nordics) as a footballing/groundhopping destination is definitely underrated, and absolutely worth a visit
Totally agree with you
Yes, FCK & Brøndby really ought to give this amazing and captivating guy the special fan treatment, once they get started again ( c. 1st of March ).
Stockholm is much better, not as plastic
@@Antigniffen 😂🙄😂🙄😂
But can they play football? - not really 😉
@@Antigniffen Plastic? We have better fans than you
I went to the Copenhagen derby in August and I cannot recommend it enough. The flights were very cheap, the city is jus incredible, it's amazing, the atmosphere was unbelievable and the football was pretty decent. One of the best trips I've ever had and all of that for next to nothing!
Great video Footy. Im from Denmark and i work for the Train company here in Copenhagen. The 24 hour ticket you bought was for the small area in Copenhagen and didnt cover Brøndby Stadium and Brøndby hehe The correct ticket would have been 160 Dkk, So if you had been caught in the train you would have had to pay 750 Dkk extra, but its great you didnt get that fine. Just a small detail watching youre great video. :)
Imagine, it's cheaper to ride illegally and get caught in Denmark, than to take that return trip legally in the UK.
What a class video. Great idea, looked a blast. Inspiring me to do a random day or two somewhere. Football takes us everywhere it’s insane 😇
Exactly! You can travel anywhere if you like football!
I done it last morning to Madrid 36 hrs in Madrid and got the Madrid v psg game ❤️
Denmark is great. Went there with my cousin in October for Citys champions league game v Copenhagen and couldnt get over how sophisticated the area is with cyclists and the repsect thats given. Great place
Great to see you discovered the Metro. You bought a 24 hour ticket which seems like a good choice for you. Here are some extra info if any consider doing same thing now or in summertime. The time-ticket "starts" the 24 hour when you bleep yourself into the station first time, not when you buy it, so just buy when you see a machine, not necessarily when you need to use it first time. But if any others think of going to Copenhagen , maybe late and going to sleep soon or whatever, just understand that the Metro have a departure in the airport. It are cheaper to buy a Metro ticket than the starting fee for a taxi AND it are faster in taking you to downtown Copenhagen in less than 15 minutes. Our new Copenhagen Metro cityring are fast and you do not have to learn any timetables. It departs 24/7 each 2 to 4 minutes! In an endless loop. Another tip for the price oriented traveller. Just like in the UK you can drink tap water anywhere in the nation, so spend your money on great beer, food and experiences, not bottled water! If you come in summertime then also remember that you are less than 50 kilometres from a beach nowhere in the nation you are. If you are in Copenhagen and want to go to the beach, I can recommend my own local favourite. "Amager strandpark". You are allowed to drink in public in Denmark and we are quite good at doing so, having a good time. You can get from Copenhagen to there by bike or public transport. Another little more airport oriented tip. Next to Copenhagen airport are North Europe's largest Aquarium, the blue planet. Its less than 15 minutes walk, well 5 if you are me, and it are a very good aquarium. I have dived for decades and like to visit different nations aquariums and the blue planet can in my book only be topped by the one in Singapore. If you get stuck in Copenhagen by a delay or want to ensure sleeping children on your flight, spending some hours there before departure, could be an idea.
that little building next too brønby stadium where you saw all the tshirts and trophies, i plastered that building about 5 months ago, crazy to see you standing where i was. im from london but moved here like 8 years ago. what a weird sensation that was seeing that lmao
Tak for coming over! Copenhagen in summer is amazing, get yourself back over for the Copenhagen Derby, it's on another level.
I’ll definitely be back!! Tak for watching 🙌🏼
@William haha yea im danish too and its incredible danish football is the best
@William ohh yea haha no ok im fan of brøndby if but im not gonna make a bad vibe in the comment section lets be honest if f copenhagen wasnt there then it was boring for brøndby and same of brøndby wasnt there fc midtjylland is so borring to look at
As an American, the one major thing I love about Europe is how convenient airfare travel is. I’m jealous because it costs 60-80 minimum to just fly across the country. I got to visit some family in Germany last summer and caught a Hansa Rostock v St Pauli match which was incredible! There was a Hansa sticker at 21:45 outside the brondby stadium 😏
Welcome to Denmark man 🇩🇰🇩🇰 love from Denmark! And yes us in Denmark love to watch videos about our own country
Such a cool and creative trip. Hope you enjoyed Denmark.
Loved it mate, such a cool country! Thanks for watching
im from Denmark and a copenhagen supporter love being this video
Great video, I'd like to go and see FC Nordsjaelland who are located in Farum which is around 45 minutes by train from Copenhagen, and who are currently top of the Danish league. My gran was originally from just outside that town but moved to Scotland just after WW2. If you go back again, I'd definitely recommend visiting the Carlsberg brewery and Tivoli Gardens.
Carlsberg is rotten
@@bobbysutherland4700 they make Jacobsen beer at the old Carlsberg brewery (the one you can visit), which is much better than Carlsberg, but only available to buy in Denmark
Mind you the Tivoli Gardens isn't open until mid (?) April, I believe 😊
Denmark is a great country. Some of the friendliest people you could wish to meet plus they all speak English which is a huge bonus. BTW I`ve known TranmereKev for years. I first met him in Bologna railway station of a Tranmere Anglo Italian away trip. He lives in Cambridge so going to home games at Prenton Park, which is does more than a few times a season, costs him a fortune. Train prices in the UK, as you said, are a total rip when compared to the rest of Europe..well certainly the countries I have travelled by rail.
Brondby brings back memories of my best time as a Manchester United fan: the legendary treble season of 1998/99 after finishing the previous season without winning any trophies. United were in the Group of Death with Brondby, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the Champions League (C1). Before that, United had to go through the qualifiers in order to book their place for the group stages. After getting out of the Group of Death, they had to beat the likes of Inter Milan, Juventus and Bayern in the final before lifting the European Cup. Against Brondby, United had a field day: 6-2 (away) and 5-0 (home). So yeah, I remember Brondby very well. It was the old good days. Thanks for the memories.
Scandinavian countries are worth visiting in winter because their infrastructure can cope with the weather. You're unlikely to find many bargains but the public transport is efficient and food and drink tend to be of good quality.
Except Oslo this year, because it's evidently the snowpocalypse out there...
This was a brilliant watch. Would love to see more like this. I lived in Finland for a couple of years and it is a beautiful country. Helsinki, Espoo and Tampere were all nice, although extremely expensive.
When I went on holiday to Copenhagen as a child, I always went to watch the games at the stadium, Copenhagen is the second team I support. , I have the black and blue shirt of Copenhagen😁
Fun fact, Parken stadium also host the current best restaurant in the world, Geranium. Eating there will set you back a couple of return tickets to Brighton though..
During the Euros the atmosphere is crazy - definitely worth experiencing if able!
You should have visited the B93 (Ballclub 93) it is RIGHT next to Parken Stadium. B93 together with a club called AB (Academic ballclub) both have won 9 championships and are on a shared 3rd spot. AB has a really interesting story and are really old as well ( formed in 1889, as a merger)
As a dane I found this quite funny and ironic that you went to the place that was the cheapest flight regarded, but the fact being that Copenhagen is one of the, if not the most expensive city in Scandinavia, probably in Europe, but then again Copenhagen is a lovely city :)
Had a great time in Copenhagen with Leicester Champions league 0-0 draw, very expensive but worth it great City...
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be pretty much sharing a bedroom with footy adventures for a few minutes. And I bloody loved it 😂
Unbelievable video mate, shows the ridiculous prices we're facing, but also that there's always an alternative and that going somewhere you wouldn't expect to be at the weekend can really pay off! 2 very nice grounds too
Great video! At one point you were 200 metres from where I stayed for a few months. BTW Coffee is about £1.20 at Folketshus and there a Free Fridge (free food) outside ;-)
this was really fun to watch, especially as a dane myself. Keep up the good work.
I've booked FC Copenhagen tickets for me and my son in march, it's worked out cheaper than to see premier League game
Flights between the UK and Denmark ar cheap ALL year round. In june i went to London (But checked ticket prices to Dublin and Edinburgh as well) all arround 30£ return :)
Hotel prices may vary a bit, but not loads :) Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Nice video. Pretty nice to see this stuff from the perspective of a foreginer.
Just a quick thing i noticed. I have to say it as a Brøndby fan; Michael Laudrup never played for fck. He stayed true towards the Brøndby badge. His brother, Brian Laudrup didn't, though. He joined fck in 1999.
Michael Laudrup followed his father to KB and actually played his first senior season in KB, before switching to Brøndby. But he is definitely remembered more for his time in Brøndby than as a 16-17 year old in KB.
Great video Sam 👌🏻 definitely worth it mate , for sure more videos like this , stay safe ❤️💙
Sam, when you were in Copenhagen, did you once hear a police siren? I know that sounds weird, but when I was there a few years ago it became apparent to me that the city just seemed so safe. I was there for 4 days and didn't hear a single police car. Great place!
:-) Copenhagen is not without crime or traffic - accidents so you will hear sirens. But Copenhagen is a very safe place.
The only criminals here in Copenhagen are these notorious invading Scotish football fans, who cheat with their tickets on the local S-trains, it would seem 😂
I hear sirenes almost every day - prolly because I live like 500 meters from a massive hospital :D
Great video. I haven’t been to Denmark (Copenhagen) is 10 years, but I loved my time there. Really need to go back. 🇩🇰
You should do the Vienna derby!
19th March, Austria Vienna vs Rapid Vienna.. you can fly from Edinburgh to Vienna (or to nearby Bratislava) for ~€20, and hell, if you need a place to stay, you can kip at mine!
Good beer, good food, fantastic architecture, great vibe.. would make for a great footballing weekend!
I'm starting to use buses more and more due to the rail prices in the UK
Have a lot of love for that part of the world with my obsession with Norway. Beautiful places, expensive, but worth it. Going to Oslo again in May for the National day, and hoping to see Vålerenga at home the night before because it seems like a special match they do on the Eve, as well as seeing the northernmost football team in October when I go back to Tromsø to try and see the northern lights too. Haven’t yet managed to see any games over there so I’m excited for theeeeeese.
Great video mate, shame you didn't go a week earlier or may have bumped into you. I went to see my beloved Brøndby after a great Football manager run with them. Apparently we both are terrible at pronouncing the name though based on a Conversation with a local.
I flew to Norway and back for £19.98 once their you need to win the Lottery. When I saw the Copenhagen Derby I recon a third of the crowd turned up on Pushbikes ! PS Ager played in the match
As a Brit it's funny to see other brits go abroad and experience properly funded public services. The price and quality of trains in Denmark blew my mind haha. Love the place!
The price of the coffee blew my mind matey....frightening!!!
@@richardhumphrey2685 Hehe, yeah, the whole inner Copenhagen is 20 to 40% more expensive than the rest of the country. It is the biggest tourist trap in the country and the prices match :D
Love your videos! This was very interesting to watch as someone from Denmark. Hopefully you can come back sometime when the league is back on to watch some games.
Really great video. How obscene are the costs of travel and accommodation in the UK...often accompanied by very poor service. As a Scot living in Scotland and I find it is always cheaper to go to big concerts in Europe, rather than the UK. I am going to Germany in July for 3 Springsteen shows, so much cheaper than London or Birmingham. I always recommend people visit Germany. Many thanks for all your efforts.
just so u know... Michael Laudrup didn't play for FCK, it was his brother Brian that did that. However both brothers and their father played for Brøndby IF
Great video! Something to be said about avoiding trains these days. I live in South London and cycle into work; avoid public transport at all costs but my big win is when I head home to Edinburgh by overnight coach for a mere £32 return and find myself seeing Auld Reekie wake up while I relax downing strong coffee and enjoy brekkie.
Great video! First time watching your channel, and I love the whole traveling-alone-setup. You seem really sincere and down to earth, which is harder to find nowadays 👏
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching. I have my first ever Italian video going live in a few minutes :)
I've never seen anyone do a football vlog from Faroe Islands, which you mentioned while at Copenhagen airport
The Eurovison Song Contest 2001 was held at the Parken Stadium. But as there were no roof on the builidng they added one. That's why the building has a roof
Great video Sam talking of random stickers i remember yellow justice for the 96 stickers appearing all over the tube in the 90's
I love this I went to Riga, Latvia in November to go to a game there did return flight from Edinburgh for £20 and the match cost me €4 lol I’m off to Milan in the morning going to Atalanta v Sampdoria and Ac Milan v Sassoulo can’t wait
You can fly from Edinburg to the Faroe´s. Come and visit! 😄 ...it´s unfortunately more expensive than a train ticket to Brighton
Please do another one of these to see where you can go in the world cheaper than train or travel in the uk. Thanks for your vids Sam
Coffee prices in denmark is very dependant on location plus we are hella into coffee so the quality veries alot
if there had been a game on at the time you were there, it would have been around 14-16 pounds for a ticket... at both stadiums
Great video.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Yer makin me jealous mate! I miss Europe for this exact reason. So cheap to fly from country to country.
If you are budget traveling in Denmark, never use 7-11 or similar, typically 24 hour stores, super expensive. Go to a supermarket like Netto or Coop 360
You mentioned that you are a Liverpool fan, so you might know that Brøndby knocked out Liverpool in the Europa League or you might remember the showmatch on Brøndby Stadion which was a part of Agger's return to Brøndby.
I’m going to Brussels next week for 2 nights to watch the cup semi, flights from Edinburgh €35 tickets €17
Obviously different situation for you but my Dad goes Brighton games and gets train ticket included anywhere in Sussex. Going to game on Sunday and he's paying £20 including 3 train journeys, good value.
Loves the video. With I was young and fit enough to do that. If you fancy a real local derby Krakow would be good. Wislaw and Cracovia are walking distance apart(even for me)
Brilliant vid Sam. Really enjoyed that one 👍
What a class video I seen you at Kelty hearts I’m in the infield end we support you mate none of your bore us
You can fly from Edinburgh to faroe islands with Atlantic Airlines- approx 200 quid whenever I've looked at going
Nice video, hope you will come back to Denmark and go to Aarhus. Why Aarhus? We have AGF who were the first danish club to play in the European Cup and we have Aarhus Fremad who knocked Brøndby out of the Danish Cup 4-0 in this year’s competition. Both clubs have had players who have played in Scotland 😊
Ahahhahaha tror ik engang Århusianere gider se det lortehold
Fun fact, you have a danish lookalike - he is a footballplayer that plays for Malmö FF and his name is Anders Christiansen. Look it up 🙏🏻😎🇸🇪
Awesome video! It's so refreshing to see these different countries and teams. Portugal and Denmark are 100% on my travel and footy bucket list. Cheers Sam!
We went to Marseille Vs Monaco is Weekend , it was £170 for hotel , return flights and match ticket. Unbelievable value for money
Never go to 7-11 in Scandinavia, I know it's seen as a cheap convenience store everywhere else. But because it is open 24/7, they have to pay the workers at least double pay. You are way better of going to a supermarket, just as good quality for a quarter or at least half the price. I've seen SOOOO many youtubers make this one mistake.
Haha lesson learned! I'll take your advice next time :)
What a cool idea for a trip. I feel inspired to go on a weekend trip. Yup our coffee is ridiculously priced. Brian played for FCK Michael Never did. He did play in KB as a kid though.
Great idea for a vlog!
Thanks for doing it !
Dave C
Try the derby fck against Brøndby the atmosphere is amazing and if it is in the summer you cannot ask for more
It is an interesting take on how people in the UK always seem to get ripped off and never get value for money compared to going to other countries like Denmark where you got your flight, accommodation, food/coffee and got to see a couple of football stadiums all under the price of a return ticket of going from Glasgow to Brighton.
For some years Easy Jet flew to Newcastle from Cph. for hardly any price and I visited friends in N. several times, also walking round Hadrians Wall. Naturally also a visit to Danish York, where the former Viking at the Entrance could have been me (Same size and a Dane)!
Privatization of basic transport infrastructure rarely results in anything but higher prices.
There are exceptions, but to my knowledge only when a market is regulated to ensure effective competition.
People need the infrastructure, and thus have no real choice but to pay whatever is demanded, resulting in the developement of a giant leaches, sucking the life out of the rest of the economy !
@@realitymatters8720
In capitalist theory, this is called "rent seeking behaviour" and is pretty harhsly looked down upon, because it ruins capitalism.
@@HrHaakon No, it does not ruin Capitalism, it is a feature of Capitalism.
It does however ruin competition, this is why Capitalism needs to be regulated. Strong anti trust laws, limits on size, taxes promoting reinvestment etc.
You should come and watch Vålerenga -Rosenborg here in Norway. Fun game to watch
as a dane.
Your super lucky that the S-train was clean as you said in the video lol.
Its 99,999% dirty, and full of grafiti and more.
I work in a danish 7-eleven, which is the most expensive store in all of Denmark. Our food is super expensive in 7-eleven, because its high quality.
Denmark is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Good thing you were able to find some good deals.
Another great video! British train prices are criminal it's almost like they don't want us to explore our own country.
Went to London on a business trip some years ago. Paid more for the Gatwick Express than for the flight. It was a 7am out and a 9pm home, so not cheap flights. Further, while waiting for the train, I watched two trains leaving which I couldn’t take due to the silly ticketing system! I have tried that in Denmark too, but that was because I had bought a discount ticket…
Great idea. Should do a group visit for your subscribers
7-11 is prolly the most expensive shop in Denmark I'll say though! And copenhagen is the most expensive city too.
I can get a flight to Riga in Latvia and have a night out and back home cheaper than a night out in Glasgow. £20 for flights, cheap digs and drink money and it was only £80
So funny I am Brondby supporter but raised 2 mins from Parken Stadium (yeah kinda odd). So glad you only took the train to Glostrup and not Brondbyoster. Brondbyoster feels more rough than Glostrup area and bus from Glostrup is the fastest. Next time enjoy a Brondby Game the atmosphere there are fantastic compared to our more posh rivals.
Because the premises of this is expensive train fares, it just really cracks me up. Loving it!
What a cool video man
You have to se This derby!!!!! SO CRAZY
You missed Østerbro Stadium, it was just on the other side of Parken Stadium.
So funny to see you in my neighborhood. Too bad you didn't go to the backside of the stadium of parken - because on the backside around 50-70 meters from Parken stadium is another clubs stadium (B93) which is an old club that holds alot of history. As we speak they play in 3 tier in the danish league system. Their stadium is very nice aswell although smaller in size. When it happens B93 and FCK play eachother in competitive matches - the fans banter is on the friendliest level i'ved ever witnessed
du er en legende, fan af Fenerbahce og Brøndby 🇩🇰 🔥🙌
Same here FenerBrøndby 🇩🇰
I'm danish and it is so fun to see you be at places where been
Your lucky you leave near a decent airport. I live in Cornwall so Exeter is the closet but even that's more regional
Great video :) - just a small correction Michael Laudrup never played for FC Copenhagen, but played for Brøndby
But Brian Laudrup played briefly for FCK. Easy to confuse them, I guess.
He did play for KB though, as he had his senior debut there, before moving to Brøndby. But definitely is considered more of a Brøndby icon.
Inspired video Sam, love these adventurous trips of yours. I enjoy driving myself, but would like to take a train across the UK sometimes - one look at the prices puts me right off though !! The Danish people came across really well and so pleased you got inside both the stadiums - imagine Spurs & Arsenal both doing that ... no way !!
Ha, love it 😊
I hope you noticed some of the many basic words that are (very) similar to your words?
There is a reason that most of us in DK are pretty good at speaking English - it's like we by magic already "know" around half of a basic core English in advance, when we start learning English, and then "just" need to fill in the gaps and climb a few hurdles here and there - like the peculiar use of the word "do" (🙄) and the use of "-ing" in verb tenses.
Greetings from Denmark / Danmark 👍
You could have taken a winter swim in the harbor. While you were in Denmark, we won the World Cup in handball for the 3rd time in a row.
Eating out in Denmark is expensive, but the quality is also very high, from street food to Noma, but you get more for your money than in the international chains such as 7-eleven.
Your 24h ticket applies to all public transport, including buses and harbor boats. That and then cycling is the best form of transport, but not by car or taxi.
Next time you go to Copenhagen, do it for 3 - 7 days, preferably in the summer. Ask some of your UA-cam followers to provide you with free accommodation while you're here.
Michael Laudrup did not play for FCK.. He played for Brøndby.. However his brother Brian Laudrup played there.. :D
Would love a video on juventus with there current form and points deduction be good to see how they are feeling about it also be nice to see the prices of coffee etc in Turin it’s all about them cappuccinos 👌😂
Thanks for the idea! I've been thinking about visiting Juve for a while to be fair
Yo Footy Adventures, mate you have a friend in me, if you ever want to come back and see more of Denmark :) I can take a few days off and drive you around. Just write me in advance if you are interested :) Kind regards Asger from Denmark
Welcome to Denmark
Thanks for visiting my country mate 👍🇩🇰
When i grew up, Brøndby stadion was just a pitch with a runningtrack around it. Before the match, a guy in a old VW van came, opened up the sidedoor and began to sell beers and sodas 😂 That was Brøndby in the 70s.
Now It's called Vilfort Park, after a club legend, but it's not the official name, just among old veteran supporters.
Since i lived 10 minutes from the stadion and our neighbor was director in the club, then ofcourse i played for the club, as well. However, i never reached higher than 4th team, out of 8 or 9 teams 😄
Cheers from a Viking 🇩🇰
The atmosphere at Brøndby is amazing! We got stuck in CPH for three days last summer because of a SAS pilot strike (#@!%), and were able to snatch tickets to their season opener (like $30 for unreserved seating above the terrace). Sure, Brøndby Stadion is far more difficult to reach by train and bus (from central Copenhagen anyway) but it is far superior experience. I saw FC København play at a half-empty Parken in 2015, and wasn't impressed. I'm sure Parken's okay for derbies, though.
that's because back in 2015 the ultras scene wasn't that big here in Denmark but now it is getting bigger and bigger and that's the same with FC København their ultras are only getting bigger and better by every game if you came back now you would definitely be impressed but in the derbies both clubs are class
some season it harder to fill a big stadium put we still have a more full stadium than brøndby on avrege. and every time we have more than 20.000 people in the stadium the atmosphere will be buzzing
@@magnusfredsted-rasmussen2560 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
In 2015 Brøndby Stadion was the stadium with the best atmosphere. Since then the fan stand in Parken has grown 4 times larger, and the average is above 26.000 pr. game. I think you should go back to Parken at some point (Just buy your tickets early, as there's often sold out in Parken now).
@@frederikbrandt424 det er jo rigtigt
Haven't been there since Rangers played lyngby, in the early 90s. In fact it was the first year the Champions League was rolled out.
We'll say no more about that tournament. 👊
1992/3. I watched the Football Years - 1992 The Trans Europe Express - Ranger's documentary earlier. 44 games without defeat was very impressive.
