Coming to Copenhagen by plane

For those of you who must change flight in Germany, you could try to look for connections via Munich instead of Frankfurt. Munich is generally more easy and calm to change in.

Public transport ticket system
Public transportation in Copenhagen is relatively expensive, but there are some options to make the travel cheaper.
When you’re a tourist, you can choose between different forms of tickets and travel cards which are all valid for both buses, trains and Metro in the Greater Copenhagen region. Your choice depends on how much and how you choose to move around during your stay.
For the time being we cannot give exact information about the prices as they are expected to change at New Year – so no prices are shown yet. Go to www.moviatrafik.dk/dinrejse/Tourist/English-tourist/Pages/English-tourist.aspx for ticket options for tourists in Copenhagen.
