Getting to and around in Copenhagen

Accessibility
With its +80,000 average daily passengers and direct routes worldwide from over 300 different destinations across over 98 airlines, Copenhagen Airport is the largest airport in Scandinavia. As such, the city of Copenhagen is accessible from anywhere in the world. And with a metro and train station located above and beneath the arrival hall, swift transportation to the heart of Copenhagen is easy - and the fastest in Europe.

Move by metro
12 minutes. That is how long it takes with the metro from Copenhagen Airport to the city centre. The Copenhagen Metro runs throughout the capital city area 24/7. In 2019, the M3 metro city ring was opened, which connected the city centre even better with all the neighbourhoods of the capital. Furthermore, in 2020, part of the M4 opened and tied together the urban district of Nordhavn with the rest of Copenhagen. In 2024, the M4 was expanded with five new metro stations in Sydhavn.

Take the train
Trains have routes through all of Copenhagen’s neighbourhoods, to the airport and across the country. Excursions within and beyond the city – to destinations such as Roskilde, Elsinore or the Swedish city of Malmo - are easily accessible from the central station.

Cruise by cycle
Explore the city the local way - via 546km of bike lanes. Copenhageners love to bike, and with 100 city bike locations and many opportunities to rent, procuring a bicycle is easy.

Try a taxi
Taxis are easy to hail when exiting Copenhagen Airport and on the street. Most major credit cards are accepted and all taxis are clearly licensed and operate at fixed mileage rates.

Walk and wander 
Thanks to ample pavement, street crossings, pedestrian zones and its compact size, Copenhagen is easy to tour by foot and safe to walk around in both day and night. The bikeable and walkable city invites you closer to a sustainable stay. So, do make sure to bring your walking shoes.

So, take your pick from travel on foot, by bike, bus, train or metro, and you and your delegates will find it easy to get from hotel to event venue in no time. 

For larger events in Copenhagen over 1,000 delegates, organisers can offer their delegates easy and inexpensive public transportation with a Travel Pass. Please see below for more information.
