COPENHAGEN APARTMENT TOUR: Americans explain what it’s like living in a Danish apartment

In this video we take you on a Copenhagen apartment tour and explain what it’s like living in a typical Danish apartment. This tour of a Copenhagen apartment is based on our experience as two American expats living in Denmark for four years. We have rented, bought and lived in three different Copenhagen apartments.

This video gives you a real life Copenhagen apartment tour that describes the look, feel and common characteristics of a Danish apartment. There are many commonalities you will notice if you are staying in central Copenhagen compared to a typical urban apartment.

We discuss the general layout of a Copenhagen apartment building and how they have a central staircase with apartments on two sides. We talk about the differences between American apartments and Danish apartments and then show you the courtyard, garden, trash and recycling.

From there we start the inside portion of the Copenhagen apartment tour and explain why you never walk directly into the living space of a Copenhagen apartment.

We give you a tour of the bedroom and explain what to expect in a common bedroom of a Copenhagen apartment. Closets, size, function and design of a Danish bedroom are all covered in detail.

Next we talk about the living space of a Danish apartment. We go over the common characteristics of a Copenhagen apartment from size to finishings and all the important details.

Our Copenhagen apartment tour continues in the kitchen where we discuss all the things that surprised us about a Danish kitchen when we started living in Denmark. We cover the typical size, appliances and what you can expect from your Copenhagen kitchen.

Finally we show you the Copenhagen bathroom and explain the history behind the infamous “shower over the toilet”.

Lastly, we discuss the ways that Copenhagen apartments are commonly decorated and what you can expect when you live in a Danish apartment or rent an Airbnb in Copenhagen.

We cover everything you need to know about Danish apartments in our Copenhagen apartment tour and you can read more on our blogs, Robe Trotting and Everything Copenhagen.
