Copenhagen Transport

Though the center is best seen on foot, all those with rail passes, e.g. interail, have free access to the network of ‘S-Togs’ the suburban electrics network. If you don’t hold such a pass (and aren’t planning bike rides or walks across the city) then using the bus may be a cheaper alternative. In addition to normal tickets, the ‘Copenhagen Card’ may be useful for those wanting to explore the city more comprehensively. This allows unlimited access to all the metropolitan areas as well as North Sealand.

Ferries are a further means of exploring the area around Copenhagen or to make trips to Sweden and Norway. Long distance coaches stop off at various point in the city - ask at the tourist information office for latest details.

Day Trips

There are a number of possible destinations depending on what it is you’re after. For those wanting culture, half and hour’s bus journey to the north takes you to the village of Lyngby and the open air museum which is situated there displaying restored buildings from all over Denmark dating back to the seventeenth century. If it’s light-hearted fun you’re after, Bakken lying at the end of the C-line of the S-Tog provides an amusement and woodland park in one. For a combination of both culture and fun, the Tuborg Brewery (again just a short bus trip out of the center) offers a guided tour around Denmark’s second major brewer (Carlsberg being the first) ending in hearty drinking sessions at the museum’s expense!
