Public transportation in Denmark is represented by subways, buses and railroads.
- City Transportation
The metro and public transportation services operate from 5:00 AM (6:00 AM on Sundays) until midnight. Night buses run every half hour between 1:00 AM and 4:30 AM, connecting the central bus station at Redhus Pladsen to various urban areas and suburbs.
For metro and bus rides, there are common ticket options available. Copenhagen is divided into three transportation zones. An hour-long metro ticket for 2 zones costs 36 DKK (approximately 4 EUR), while a day pass covering all zones is priced at 130 DKK (around 14 EUR). Tickets should be validated using machines at stations or on buses.
- Rail Transportation
The railway system connects Copenhagen with most major European cities. Trains operate from Hovedbanegården central station between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
- Taxi Services
Taxis are readily available in all cities across Denmark, and most taxi drivers speak English. Look for taxis with a "Fri" ("free") sign to indicate availability. You can easily hail a taxi on the street, find them at designated taxi stands, or book one by phone. A trip to the airport typically costs between 250-350 DKK, which is approximately 27-38 EUR.
- Bicycles
Tourists visiting Denmark can rent bicycles for free. Denmark boasts an extensive network of bike paths connecting all its cities, making it easy to explore the country on two wheels.
