Getting to Copenhagen
Copenhagen is a highly accessible city and visitors can choose their means of transport for getting here, based on cost and convenience. While most visitors will arrive by air at Copenhagen International Airport, a reasonable percentage of others will make their way by road, using either private vehicle or taking advantage of the Eurolines bus service, which provides routes in from a large number of EU destinations. Train and ferry options are also viable.
By car
The E20, the E47 and the E55 provide principle access to the city of Copenhagen, and signs to the Danish capital are common and easy to follow. Denmark shares a border with Germany and crossings are pretty much problem-free for EU drivers entering at this point.
By rail
It's possible to reach Copenhagen by train from Danish cities using the country's reliable rail network and also from international destinations via services such as the Eurostar. Danish State Railways (tel: + 45 70 13 14 15) provides domestic services, with the InterCity Lyn Express trains offering direct connections between Copenhagen and cities such as Odense, Fredericia, Århus, Esbjerg and Aalberg. International services arrive at and depart from Hovedbanegården central station, with connections to cities such as Stockholm, Oslo and Hamburg available from here.
By bus
Eurolines connects Copenhagen with a variety of European cities including London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Oslo, Paris and Stockholm. For details of fares, timetables and booking procedures, visit their website at: www.eurolines.com.
By air
København Lufthavn (CPH), or Copenhagen International Airport, is the main gateway to the Danish capital and the means by which most international visitors arrive at the city. Located just eight kilometres from the city centre, it is among the world's most modern and efficient air travel facilities. The airport is well connected to the city and onward destinations by trains, public buses, hotel shuttles and taxis. The airport serves flights to and from a vast number of EU cities as well as an impressive number of international destinations.
