Getting around in Copenhagen
Bikes
Copenhagen - and most of Denmark - is a great place to bike it! For a deposit of a DKK 20 coin you can even borrow a Copenhagen City Bike.
Busses
In Copenhagen there are buses everywhere - even on the water you will find cute little harbour bus boats! Timetables are available at large stations and in the buses.
Cars and car rental
All the major car rental companies have offices in Copenhagen and at the airport, but we ought to let you know that parking in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg is extremely expensive!
CphCard
You might want to invest in a Copenhagen Card. The card can be purchased at large stations, the tourist information and at the airport and gives you the right to travel free of charge in the entire Copenhagen area. On top, you get free admission into 60 museums and sights.
The Metro
Copenhagen’s tube. Copenhagen’s driverless Metro system was praised for its smooth design and architectdesigned Metro stations from the very outset. More importantly, however, the two-minute departure intervals allow it to quickly and efficiently take you round Copenhagen and most of its suburbs.
Taxi
Danish taxis are authorised by the state and prices are fixed. If you are paying by credit card, please inform the driver as you get in the car. Tips are included in the fare.
Train service
The S-trains run from early morning till late night. They take you round the city and – as a matter of fact – most of Zealand. If need be, regional trains will take you even farther. They stop at Copenhagen Airport, a.k.a. Kastrup, and in all the major cities of Denmark. After the construction of the Øresund Bridge, the Øresund train has become a popular and fast way to visit Copenhagen’s Swedish neighbouring city Malmö.
