Copenhagen (DanishKøbenhavn, swe.Koepenhamn) is the capital Denmark. On the island Zealand located, it belongs to part of the southern Sweden to the Öresund region. With 1.7 million inhabitants in the entire metropolitan area (Hovedstadsregionen), it is the largest city in Scandinavia.
The Danish capital is a relaxing and extreme contrast to the small-scale and very quiet rural Denmark. In Copenhagen, life is particularly vibrant in the old town and is characterized by an extensive cultural life and the students.
Copenhagen offers many possibilities from museums, architecture to nightlife and rather quieter places. The city forms a transition between Central Europe and Northern Europe. This is expressed on the one hand in the architecture, but also in the people and the atmosphere.

background
Copenhagen aims to be the world's first CO₂-neutral city by 2025.[1] That is why many hotels offer the option of buying climate-friendly offers and the websites run on green electricity. There are also various so-called "Green Hotels", which operate in a particularly environmentally friendly way. An overview of all these offers and of" Green Copenhagen "is available at visitcopenhagen.com (English). An important part of it all is the surprising fact that forty percent of people in Copenhagen bike to work and do their leisure time. More about cycling in Copenhagen ...
getting there
As the capital of Denmark and thanks to its convenient location on the Øresund, Copenhagen is very well connected in terms of transport. The railway line after Germany (Hamburg), Amsterdam and Sweden (via Malmo to Gothenburg, Stockholm) leads directly through the city. The international airport is also about ten kilometers from the city.
By plane
The 1 Copenhagen Airport(IATA: CPH) is only a short train ride (12 minutes) from the main train station. There are also regular trains to Malmo and continue via Helsingborg to Stockholm or Ystad, Bornholm. The metro also runs from the airport to the city center and the outskirts at short intervals. The airport itself is located on the island of Amager in Kastrup, a district of the municipality TårnbyFrom Copenhagen, most European destinations and some overseas are accessible by air. There are frequent connections to other major European cities. Lufthansa, SAS and easyJet offer regular scheduled flights from many German cities to Copenhagen.
By train
To the 2 Copenhagen Central Station there are long-distance connections from Hamburg with several trips a day. Until 2019 the trains went to Copenhagen via Lübeck and were loaded between Puttgarden and Rødby via ferry across Fehmarnsund; Due to the construction work on the Fehmarnbelt tunnel, this type of loading is history after 56 years.
Since then, the rail connection from Hamburg has been via the "fixed" rail connection via Odense and the Great Belt, on the one hand as a direct connection, on the other hand with a change in Kolding or Fredericia.
A formerly existing night train connection from Amsterdam and Basel has been discontinued.
By bus
There are various long-distance bus routes that lead to Copenhagen, including:
- Out Berlin:
- The line E-55 of the provider Graahundbus. Departs daily at 10 a.m. from Berlin Central Station. At around 1.30 p.m., the bus lets travelers in Rostock out on the quay, whose ticket is also valid for the ferry. Around 15:15 in Gedser After leaving the ship, you go with your luggage to the next bus. Arrival at Copenhagen Central Station: around 17:30 (Return daily 11 a.m., arrival: 6.15 p.m.). The seven and a half hour bus ride is a bit uncomfortable, but you can stretch your legs on the one and a half hour ferry ride. The bus route is named after the European route of the same name, which the route follows along the whole route.
- Graahundbus, Yderholmen 18; 2750 Ballerup; Danmark. Tel.: 45 44 68 44 00, Fax: 45 44 68 40 04. Price: € 45 / trip, one child under 16 free.
- The Berlin line buses (blb) depart from the central bus station next to the exhibition grounds three times a day. The journey takes just as long with a stop in Rostock as with the E-55.
- Out Hamburg:
- The long-distance bus giant Eurolines offers two daily connections in the direction of Copenhagen. The journey, which takes between five and a half and six hours, begins at the central bus station next to the main train station.
In the street
There are two ways to get to Copenhagen by car: On the one hand, the short one Bird airline from Germany, on the other hand the longer bridge connection over Jutland.
Not to be forgotten is the convenient connection via the ferry line Rostock - Gedserwhich is available at short intervals (travel time approx. 50 minutes) and is particularly recommended from the direction of Berlin.
Bird airline
The shortest route from Germany, despite all the bridges, is the Vogelfluglinie via Puttgarden on the German island Fehmarn and Rodby on the Danish island Lolland. The car ferry runs around the clock at least once an hour. Waiting times are to be expected during the main holiday season. The operator of the connection is Scandlines. Ferry prices start at around € 30 for a single crossing by car including passengers (as of 10/2019). It is advisable to buy the ferry ticket on the Internet before traveling. From Rödby it is about 160 km on Danish motorways to the center of the Danish capital.
Bridge connection
If you want to save on ferry connections, the approx. 140 km longer connection remains Flensburg, Fredericia, Odense, to Zealand and on to Copenhagen. This saves you any waiting times, but you also have costs in the form of bridge tolls and a further journey. The bridge toll for a car is DKK 245 per direction (as of 10/2019). More information about the bridge toll is available from the operating company of Storebaelt connection. The toll can be paid with cash in various currencies, with a Maestro card or with all major credit cards.
By boat
- Out Oslo there is a daily night ferry service with DFDS Seaways. Departure Oslo 4.45 p.m., arrival Copenhagen on 3 DFDS Ferry Terminal the next morning at 9.45 a.m. The return ferry leaves Copenhagen at 4.45 p.m., arriving in Oslo the next morning at 9.45 a.m.

mobility
Public transport
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/CPH_stog_metro_districts.png/220px-CPH_stog_metro_districts.png)
The backbone of public transport in Copenhagen is the S-Tog (Train). For a few years now, Copenhagen has had a very modern, fully automatic and well worth seeing metrowhich is constantly being expanded. Destinations away from the railways can be easily reached by bus.
As in the rest of the country, all public transport is divided into zones. The smallest unit is the two-zone ticket for DKK 23.-, which can be purchased at ticket offices, machines and on the bus. It allows unrestricted journeys in the greater Copenhagen area within an hour. For several journeys, it is worth purchasing a strip card / Klippekort (135 DKK) with ten strips, which you validate on the platform or in front of the bus driver before each journey. This saves DKK 9.50 per journey compared to a single ticket.
Children under the age of 12 travel free when accompanied by an adult.
Day passes for the Copenhagen area :
Day tickets for 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours are available as "CityPass" at local transport machines. These cards can be used in zones 1 to 4 and are valid for any number of journeys on the bus, suburban train and subway as well as the waterbus line on the inner harbor from the time of purchase.
Prices for adults as of October 2018: 24 hours: 80 DKK (€ 11), 48 hours: 150 DKK (€ 20), 72 hours: 200 DKK (€ 27), 120 hours: 300 DKK (€ 40). See ticket information for children www.dinoffentligetransport.dk/citypass (in English).
Part of the local public transport is the water bus route on the inner harbor. For example with the 24-hour ticket for local public transport, you can experience Copenhagen cheaply from the water or incorporate part of the shipping route into your individual city tour.
On the bike
Those who move mainly in the city center and the neighboring quarters are very good on foot and by bike. There are bicycle lanes everywhere on the street, bicycles always have right of way at intersections (on the blue corridors) and you are traveling very quickly. Cycling is basically very safe, because almost everywhere there are bicycle lanes separated (by curbs), cars have no right of way and also adhere to them extremely well.
For inexperienced people in Copenhagen's city traffic, it is advisable to start out mostly on the right-hand side of the cycle lane, otherwise you often hear the bell as a request to make room. A good overview is important. Changes of direction and lane must always be shown with a hand signal. A flat hand held up next to the head with the palm facing forward means that the cyclist will brake and stop without leaving the lane. It's best to look back and then overtake or slow down carefully.
There is a station-based, state-of-the-art bicycle rental system with pedelecs in the city center and the neighboring districts. Borrowing costs DKK 30.- per hour (around € 4 per hour). The wheels have a screen on the handlebars with information about public transport and sights.
- 1 Baisikeli, Turesensgade 10, DK-1368 København. Tel.: 4531 68 80 96. Open: November - March: Mon-Sat 10 am-4pm; April - October: Mon-Sun 10-18.Price: bicycle from DKK 80 per day and DKK 270 per week.
On foot
The city center including the Christianshavn district can be explored on foot. The distances are manageable. In the city center there is a nice, fairly branched pedestrian zone that covers the main pedestrian axes in the center. At the inner harbor there are beautiful promenades away from the traffic noise.
In the Sights section there is a walking tour of the city that includes the most important sights. Away from the pedestrian zone, however, the sidewalks on the major main traffic routes are sometimes quite narrow or filled with bicycles / displays etc. (sometimes only 1 m remaining width). The bike paths often have more space here.
Tourist Attractions

see also Copenhagen / landmarks, where all details such as prices and opening times are listed. In the following, the most important sights are described throughout the city with a focus on the city center.
City tour with a focus on the city center
The tour, which takes a day depending on the visits, is best done on foot. The length is around 12 to 13 km. You can get a free folding city map in the 1 Tourist information (Copenhagen Visitor Center). This can be found on the corner of Vesterbrogade / Hammerichsgade (about 150 m north of the main train station)
From the tourist information office you walk along Vesterbrogade to Rathausplatz.
The one across from the main train station Tivoli is the second oldest still in operation Leisure- and theme park in the world - the oldest is Bakken in Klampenborg. At the edge of the park the runs Andersen Boulevard along which the 1 City Hall (Københavns Rådhus) is located. It is adorned with many sculptures and was built between 1892 and 1905 in the style of the Italian and Norman Renaissance. At 113 m, the town hall tower is Denmark's highest tower.
From Rathausplatz you walk through the pedestrian zone in Frederiksberggade to 2 Old Market (Gammeltorv) and 3 New Market (Nytorv).
We continue through the pedestrian zone in Nygade. This goes over into the Vimmelskaftet. From here it is worth taking a walk through the historical one 4 Jorck's passage. The passage was built between 1893 and 1896. It is named after the entrepreneur and confectionery manufacturer Reinholdt W. Jorck.
On the Fiolstræde is the 5 Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke). It closes to the northwest 6 St. Petri Church (Sankt Petri Kirke). It has been the parish church of the German parish since 1586 and the oldest church in Copenhagen.
From Fiolstræde you can walk through the pedestrian zone to Store Kannikestræde 7 Round Tower (Rundetaarn) with vantage point and Trinity Church (Trinitatis Kirke). A 209 m long, stepless spiral corridor leads up to this observation tower, which was built between 1637 and 1642. You have one from up here beautiful panorama over the city center. The is attached to the tower Trinity Church (DanishTrinitatis Kirke) at. There is a museum in the church that shows contemporary art. In the past, the room was also used for the university library.
It goes through the pedestrian zone Købmagergade to 8 Amanger place (Amagtorv).
From here it is not far to an important tourist magnet, the 9 Christiansborg Palace (Christiansborg Slot). This building, which has been the seat of Parliament since 1918, is located on the site of Copenhagen's first castle, built by Bishop Absalon in 1167. The current building with the 90 m high castle tower was built between 1907 and 1928. The structure is a attractive vantage point and is accessible by elevator after a security check. Admission is free. However, there are only limited capacities, so there may be longer waiting times. The last part is then climbed by stairs). There is also a restaurant in the tower. On the north side of the castle is the classicistic castle church (Slotskirke), which was completed in 1826. Next to the castle is the Royal Library of Denmark, the National Library. That concludes 10 old Copenhagen Stock Exchange (Børsen) at. It is located right next to Christiansborg Palace. The renaissance building was built between 1619 and 1640 and with its 54 m high tower in the form of intertwined dragon tails is another landmark of the city. Until 1974 the building served its original purpose as the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.
From here, the Børsbroen leads over a canal to the National Bank and to 11 Holmenskirche (Holmens Kirke), which is exactly opposite the stock exchange and Christiansborg Palace. It was built in the 17th century. From the road Børsgade leads the 12 Knippelsbro, an interesting bascule bridge with cultural activities in the southern bridge tower (kulturtaarnet.dk, via the inner harbor (Inderhavn) towards the Christianshavn district.
This is also the best way to get to the Christianshavn district 13 Church of the Redeemer (Frelser Kirke) with climbable tower. This baroque church from 1602 to 92 has the second highest tower in Copenhagen at 93 meters. It is the landmark of the Christianshavn district and can be climbed via an outer spiral staircase added in 1752. A head for heights is required for the outer spiral staircase. But you also have a nice panoramic view from the platform, which can be reached via an inner staircase.
It is only a few meters from the Erlöserkirche along Prinsessegade to the free city of Christiania. The 14 Free city of Christiania is a de facto independent commune on Christianhavn. It was founded in 1971 in barracks abandoned by the military and has been a growing city within the city ever since. Christiania can be visited and hiked through for free. There are many smaller and special shops on the premises and the well-known Café Månefiskeren (also Café Moonfisher), where you can enjoy a coffee and a pastry very cheaply.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Nyhavn_cph.jpg/300px-Nyhavn_cph.jpg)
Over the bicycle and pedestrian bridge 15 Inderhavnsbroen (Inner Harbor Bridge) you can get directly from the Christianshavn district to Nyhavn. The bridge, which was only opened in 2016, was designed as a counter-rotating sliding bridge. The building was therefore given the name Kyssebroen ("kissing bridge"). According to Wikipedia 22,000–27,500 cyclists use the structure every day. Together with the "Trangravsbroen" to the east, a new, direct traffic axis for bicycle and pedestrian traffic was created here. Among other things with such projects with the meaning of "city of short distances" (Info Wikipedia) Copenhagen has achieved a high level of bicycle usage.
The 16 Nyhavn is also an outstanding sight. This street with the neat gabled houses on both sides of the port arm of the same name is the center of gastronomy in Copenhagen. Often historic, lovingly restored ships line the quay.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Rosenborg_cph.jpg/300px-Rosenborg_cph.jpg)
From Nyhavn it is a good idea to take the water bus for a while, three stops to the "Nordre Toldbod" pier. On the way you pass the opera. Alternatively, walk along the promenade. From the "Nordre Toldbod" pier, take the Langelinie promenade northwards along the water. Here you will find the city's smallest attraction, which is also its most famous: the one inaugurated on August 24, 1913 17 little Mermaidwhose story Hans Christian Andersen tells in his fairy tale.
Back towards the city center you can walk through the 18 Fort (Kastellet) at. This is a remnant of the old city fortifications
From the fort back along the promenade to Amaliehaven Park. Here inland on the axis direction 19 Amalienborg Palace - Turn left at Schlossplatz (Amalienborg Plads). The palace in which the queen lives was built from 1749 to 1760 and consists of four palaces facing each other. In the middle of the large, octagonal palace square (Amalienborg Plads) is the equestrian statue of Frederik V. Every noon at 12 o'clock the changing of the guard takes place here.
Continue along the axis to 20 Frederik's Church (Frederikskirken), which is also called the Marble Church. It is an 84 meter high church with a 45 meter high, frescoed dome designed by Nicolai Eigtved in 1794, one of the largest in Europe and an image of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. It was only completed 140 years after construction began. Inside you can find monuments of important church personalities, such as Moses or Martin Luther.
Keeping west, it goes on to King's Garden (Kongens Have). This is in this park 21 Rosenborg Castle (Rosenborg slot)). The Renaissance castle, which was built from 1607 to 1617 as a summer residence for Christian IV and influenced by Dutch architecture, houses the Danish crown jewels. It has been a museum since 1833. The ivory throne with three silver lions and Christian IV's gold crown adorned with precious stones are worth seeing.
The 22 Botanical Garden with Museum of Copenhagen can be found right across from Rosenborg Castle. The garden presents a large variety of plants and is a cozy, quieter place during hot days.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Copenhagen-Botanical-Garden.jpg/300px-Copenhagen-Botanical-Garden.jpg)
After a tour of the botanical garden, it is a good idea to end the day at Nyhavn, for example. From Nørreport you can take the metro to Kongens Nytorv for one stop, or walk again through the pedestrian zone via Købmagergade and Østergade.
In front of the Nyhavn there is still the 23 Royal New Market (Kongens Nytorv). A good dozen streets lead away from this largest and most important square in the city. The Royal Theater, Magasin du Nord department store, Thotts Palais (1685) and Charlottenborg Palace, built between 1672 and 83, are located on the square with a statue of Christian V, also popularly known as Hesten - the horse. Today it houses the art academy and is connected to the new art exhibition building.
Discover Copenhagen from the water
If you travel to Copenhagen, you can get to know the Danish capital from the water in a particularly relaxed manner. There is therefore the possibility of taking boat tours almost all year round. These drive different routes and lead past various sights, including the famous little mermaid. The small ships not only navigate the harbor, but also small, winding canals. Starting point for such boat tours, e.g. from DFDS Canal Tours, include Nyhavn or Gammel Strand.

activities
- Copenhagen Jazz Festival. The Copenhagen Jazz Festival takes place every summer for ten days in July. In 2010 it will be present from July 2nd to 11th in various squares and courtyards with a total of over a thousand concerts. For some concerts you pay an entrance fee, the tickets cost around DKK 200. However, various appearances by lesser-known artists are free and public - for example in cafes, courtyards and in squares. These also allow you to get to know the city and its people better. Here you can go on after a while and watch the next concert.
- Tivoli. In the middle of the city between the train station and the Rådhuspladsen Tivoli is located, Europe's second oldest, still operating amusement park. There are some nostalgic rides as well as a few new ones. You can also eat well in one of the 28 restaurants and enjoy the cultural events that Tivoli offers: musical performances of all kinds, theatrical performances and, last but not least, the illumination of the entire park every evening.

- Dyrehavsbakken. Or more concise Bakken is the second and older amusement park in Copenhagen. It is located north of Copenhagen in Klampenborg.
- Frueplads. Traditionally, the Frueplads in Copenhagen on the 3rd weekend in August belongs to the artisans and designers and their fans. This small, 3-day fair with around 120 juried exhibitors is organized by the Association of Danish Craftsmen, under white parasols and mostly blue skies. You can really find the best that Denmark has to show in this field. Even highly decorated design award winners and museum-grade applied artists are by no means a shame to take part in this perfectly organized market. On the contrary, I know from many that they love the relaxed atmosphere there and like to take advantage of the opportunity for detailed discussions with customers and collectors. The jurors always manage to put together a diverse and stimulating mix of young design and tradition. The open Danish manner, which only seems to know the friendly approach to one another, is obviously foreign to conceit and pigeonhole thinking. Ceramics and porcelain, glass, textiles, jewelry and accessories are offered, but primarily "market goods", i.e. more or less practical or affordable. The delicate collector's items or the most precious jewels can only be seen in exhibitions, galleries and of course in the studios themselves.
shop
In general, there are a lot of shopping opportunities in the city center. A few large department stores are located around the supermarket. Much frequented shopping streets are the Købmagergade, Østergade and Niels Hemmingsen's Gade. However, there are also many smaller shops in the side streets that are worth visiting.

accommodation
There is also a great variety of accommodation options in Copenhagen. It is worthwhile to compare the prices well beforehand and - as usual in the whole Scandinavia - Pay attention to special weekend offers and other discounts.
In summer, it is advisable to book as early as possible because that is the main season. Copenhagen is a year-round tourist destination, but with so many events, all-too-short-term guests may find it harder to find a place.

security
Kopenhagen gehört sicherlich zu den sichersten Hauptstädten Europas. Die Stimmung ist ausgesprochen friedlich, und man kann auch nachts noch ohne Bedenken durch die Parks der Stadt gehen. Die Notrufzentrale wird über Notruf 112 (Dänisch: Alarm 112) kontaktiert für Unfälle, schwere Verbrechen oder Feuer. Situationen, die eine Gefahr für Leben, Gesundheit, Eigentum oder Umwelt darstellen. Notruf 114 (Dänisch: Service 114) ist für Anfragen an die Polizei (Politi), die nicht dringend sind.
