How to Get Around in Copenhagen

The bus and metro system in Copenhagen is great. If you don't use the rental bicycles, for example from bycyclen.dk, then we suggest that you buy one of the passes for the days your are there. Click here for a detailed explanation of the tickets we recommend you buy and where to buy them.

 

The City of Copenhagen

In the 18th century the capital of Denmark was totally destroyed by fire, in 1807 it was again burnt down by the British. This is the main reason why Copenhagen has practically no historical centre with its traditional narrow streets. Nevertheless, there are a lot of attractive sights - marvellous palaces, plenty of museums and galleries, lively well-planned amusement parks, one of the longest market streets in the world, cozy districts with bars, restaurants and cafes with open terraces.

Weather in Copenhagen, Denmark

Due to the unpredictable weather of Copenhagen in the spring its a good idea to have a jacket even if the temperature is warm. Near the ocean (particularly on the boat trip) you will find the wind makes it a bit cooler. If you have a raincoat, bring it along, you never know if you will be showered by one of Copenhagen's rainstorms.

Street parking in Frederiksberg is likely your best bet. Perhaps plan to park (and/or live) near a Metro station in Frederiksberg and then take public transportation to where you need to go. The public transportation system is great and unlimited travel City Passes are available for 24, 48, 72, 120 hours and 7 days.
