Letting in Copenhagen

Rules and licensing

Letting a primary residence is capped at a set number of nights per year unless the municipality has raised the limit for registered platforms. Registration is required.

Tourist tax

No separate municipal tourist tax; VAT applies to commercial letting.

How the year is shaped

May to September is strong, with long daylight driving the summer peak. Winter is quiet apart from Christmas.

Who books here

Design and food tourism, plus a solid business segment. Guests expect high standards and bicycle storage is a real amenity here.

Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
