Monthly Climate Averages for Copenhagen

Sightseeing:

Copenhagen is a charming city of 17th- and 18th-century buildings, beautiful parks and gardens, pretty promenades along canals, and ancient winding streets made for walking and biking. Add to that the longer days and warmer weather in the summer.

Highlights include: The Little Mermaid, a smaller statue than you think. Nyhavn, it's full of cafes, bars, and restaurants, Tivoli Garden , is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Christiansborg Palace , Amalienborg Palace .

The city's architecture soars from medieval to rococo, and style varies from eclecticism to the cool designs of Arne Jacobsen. The impact Danes have had on the world of contemporary interiors is second only to their expertise in fairy tales.

On forehand you may purchase online via the tourist office the Copenhagen Card which entitles you to free entry to 60 museums and attractions as well as free transport by train, bus and Metro (also to and from the airport), discounts on restaurants, car hire, and many attractions and includes a comprehensive guide.

Note: Some museums have free admission anyway and most don't charge entry fees on Wednesdays.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

One way to make sure that you do not miss any of Copenhagen's major sights and landmarks are to take one of the numerous organized tours of the city, either by bus, bike or boat. Caution: Most canal tours are on open-air vessels, and therefore are not recommended for inclement weather.`

In a hurry: Take the harbor water bus (901/902) from either The Royal Library also called the black diamond for its sun/water reflections to Nordre Tloldbod, close to the Little Mermaid or vice versa for the price of a regular bus ticket. Every 20 minutes: a 15-minute tour of all waterfront highlights!

The Hop on/off buses of CitySightseeing are always present at all cruise terminals and offer 3 tours in and around Copenhagen.

Rent a City Bike for free: just deposit a coin of 20 Kroner, take your bike, and drop it off after you are finished at any point and get your money back.

Public transportation is very good.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Just to the north, along the Øresund coast, stretch a series of well-heeled suburbs: a visit to their attractions – the Danish Aquarium , Experimentarium and Bakken amusement park among them – can be followed up by lazing on the adjacent beaches.

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is situated 35 km north of Copenhagen on the North Zealand coast in a spacious, old park with a fine view across the sound of Sweden.

Malmo Sweden: Take a 35 minute train trip over the spectacular Oresund Brige .

Shopping and Food

In the old center the Strøget area is actually a collection of pedestrian streets, filled with shops, cafes and restaurants, that spread out from this central thoroughfare. These streets are between the large squares, east in Kogens Nytorv and west in Radhuspladsen (The City Hall Square). You won't find the name Stroget on the street signs or on city maps, but if you ask a Copenhagener where to find Stroget, you will probably get a clear answer.

Eating and drinking out is quite expensive, but the possibilities are endless: from red hot Thai curries to traditional 'frikadeller' (Danish meatballs), from sushi to the typical smørrebrød, which are served at lunch: these open sandwiches have all kinds of savory toppings, typically including boiled egg and dill, beetroot, mackerel, roast onions, cold meats and goose or pork dripping. There are also takeaway smørredbrød kiosks throughout the city center.

For shopping mall addicts, there is Fields. Fields has its own Metro Station: Take the Metro in the direction of Vestamager and get off at the station Ørestad, then you are right at the main entrance to Field's.

Denmark has the highest Tax (VAT) rate in Europe: 25% on everything!

Denmark is not part of the EURO-monetary system, but major shops will probably give prices both in Danish kroner and in EURO (€). Most major international credit cards are accepted in Denmark. But be aware that a surcharge of 2 to 4 percent is often added, which is legal outside the USA.

Copenhagen Denmark

The port of Copenhagen is located on the east coast of Denmark. Copenhagen is the capital of the country and the largest city of Scandinavia, with a population of 1.7 million people. Copenhagen is the residence of Queen Margrethe II, who currently lives at the Amalienborg Palace.

Copenhagen is a charming city with 17th and 18th century buildings, beautiful parks and gardens, lovely walks along canals and pedestrian streets. Copenhagen is famous for its Little Mermaid, a statue in homage to the writer Hans Christian Andersen.

It’s an expensive, but beautiful city.

Where is located the Port of Copenhagen Cruise Terminal

Copenhagen offers two large port facilities. The first, more widely visited by ships making day calls, is Langelinie Pier about 2.4 km from the centre of the city. This is a charming harbour area, with a series of shops and cafes, just a 10 minute walk from the city (taxis are also available). The Copenhagen Information Centre is located here and can also offer exchange office (and distributor) services.

On the other hand, the Freeport terminal , about 3.2 km from the city, is frequently used by ships for which Copenhagen is a port of embarkation or disembarkation. There is no service or ATM nearby (although taxis often take credit cards). The nearest train to reach the city is a 15-20 minute walk. As this port is busy, taxis are sometimes scarce. It’s best to plan your trips before you leave or take advantage of your cruise line transfer services. You can also book a private transfer .

Travelling around the Copenhagen Cruise Port

How to get from copenhagen airport to the port.

A metro station is located in the Annex of Terminal 3. The journey from the airport to the Nureport station takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Several bus routes rely on the centre of Copenhagen and Terminal 3 airport. Line 5C connects Copenhagen Central Station and the airport in about 35 minutes.

The taxi ride will take about 35 minutes.

Private transport services are also available.

One Trip at a Time

WELCOME TO COPENHAGEN

The sheer number of candles being used (the Danes burn more than any other country) and the sense of simplicity and comfort are in evidence around the city. A few days in Copenhagen can certainly get you hooked on the Danish obsession with Hygge.

With attractions across the city from Royal Palaces to fun-filled amusement parks, unfathomably popular statues to the colourful Nyhavn district as well as learning a little about how to make your life more Hygge, there is much to suggest that an extra day or two before or after your cruise is well worth it.

With so many things to see and do though it might be hard to decide just what do to during your limited time. Our port guide, and accompanying articles about  parking ,  transportation ,  pre-cruise hotels, and  attractions  will provide you with all the information you need to plan your pre or post-cruise stay in the Copenhagen area.

The links below will help you jump around the guide to the sections that interest you most, and at the bottom is a  map  of all the points of interest mentioned.

COPENHAGEN CRUISE TERMINAL

There are three cruise ports in Copenhagen so it is important to know which terminal your cruise ship will be using or you might be heading to the wrong one. In general, if you are joining a cruise it is likely to be from Oceankaj, Nordre Tolbod and Langelinje are more used for visiting ships.

If you are using a GPS or map program (we use   Here WeGo ), input one of the following addresses to find your terminal:

Ocean Quay : Oceankaj Terminal 1/2/3, Nordhavnen, 2150 København

Nordre Tolbod : Nordre Toldbod, 1259 København

Langelinje: Langeliniekaj 2, 2100 København

Also scheduled for completion in 2020 is Terminal 4 at Oceankaj which will allow for larger ships to depart from Copenhagen. 

PASSENGER & LUGGAGE DROP OFF

EMBARKATION:   Passengers may drop off their luggage, and companions if they wish, at their designated terminal prior to parking.

DISEMBARKATION:   When returning you can either retrieve your vehicle and return to the terminal to pick up your companions and luggage in the loading area, or take your luggage and companions to your parking lot to retrieve your vehicle.

The area next to the cruise terminal is for loading and unloading only so you should be prepared to unload/load quickly to allow others to do the same.

TAXIS : As to be expected there is a high demand for taxis during peak disembarkation hours and they may not be readily available. Please account for this wait time in your plans for departure day, especially when booking a flight home.

PORTS OF CALL FOR SHIPS DEPARTING COPENHAGEN

*Please Note: These scheduled ports of call are not guaranteed as the cruise line may make changes to their itineraries due to weather or other reasons. 

MONEY MATTERS

The currency of Denmark is the Krone (DKK) which is divided into 100 øre. It is printed on notes in the following denominations: kr50, kr100, kr200, kr500, and kr1000 and coins with values of: 50 øre, kr1, kr2, kr5, kr10, and kr20. The 50 øre coin is worth half a kroner and is the only Danish coin with a face value of less than one kroner.

CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS

Credit and Debit cards are widely accepted in Copenhagen, but cards which do not use Chip & Pin may not be accepted in self-service machines and may cause delays in shops and restaurants. Contactless cards are more and more widely accepted for purchases up to 350 DKK.

TOP TIP: If you are offered the opportunity to pay in your own currency instead of Danish Kroner, our advice is to decline as the exchange rate is usually poor and you will end up paying more than letting your bank handle the conversion.

Although tipping is the norm in North America and common in much of Europe, in Denmark tipping is not expected. In general, service will be included in restaurants, bars and taxis, you should therefore only tip if you receive extraordinarily good service.

If you do decide to offer a tip, you will probably need to leave cash as credit card machines are less likely to have the option to add a tip than you may be used to.

BANKS & ATMS

Finding an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) will not be too difficult in Copenhagen, however none are right by the terminals. We’ve pinned several ATMs that are nearest to the terminals to the map below.

Generally, in Denmark, you will find ATMs at banks as well as some standalone machines either outside or inside other stores.

GETTING AROUND COPENHAGEN

Public transport in Copenhagen is efficient and affordable, you just need to know how many zones you will transit through in order to price up your ticket. The whole of the central area of the city, including the ports, is in zone 1 and the airport is in zone 4. Therefore to get from the airport to the city, you travel through 3 zones (4, 3 and 1), so you need a three-zone ticket. You have to buy at least 2 zones for any ticket, so any travel around the city would require a 2 zone ticket.

A single ticket for 1 or 2 zones is 24 DKK, a three-zone ticket is 36 DKK. You can purchase tickets at ticket vending machines, 7-Eleven kiosks, stations using cash or card. You can buy single tickets from the bus driver, but you must have the correct small change. You can also use the ‘DOT Tickets’ app on your phone:

Google Play

If you plan to use the public transport network more than occasionally each day, you can purchase  City Pass Small  for unlimited travel within the City including out to the airport for between 1 and 5 days which can save you money. Prices 80 DKK for one day, 150 DKK for two days and an additional 50 DKK for each day after that.

TOP TIP:  If buying a ticket from a train station, you won’t be able to enter a bus stop name as your destination. Choose the metro station you will change at and the ticket will be accepted by the bus driver.

Public transportation options include:

  • Metro   – Provides access across the city on three lines including the airport. Click here for the routes, hours, and pricing or here for the MDT Tracker app.
  • Train  – The train is a quick efficient way to get from the airport into the central station, but can also be a good option for getting across the city.
  • Bus   – With routes across the city, the bus service is an excellent way to get around and end up close to your destination.
  • Harbour bus – Can be a nice option if you need to travel along the river, may not be as quick as other options, but a great way to see the city from the water.

Other options in the city include:

  • Bike   – Copenhagen is great for cyclists and you can rent bikes from many places in the city. You may even find your hotel has them available to borrow. For more information, check out this guide .
  • e-scooter – These scooters can be found all over town and can be rented through an app to get you around the city in double-quick time.

Note: Uber and Lyft do not operate in Copenhagen due to local regulations.

With all these options you will be able to really take in Copenhagen if you visit for a pre or post-cruise stay!

TOP TIP: The  Copenhagen Card  can be purchased with unlimited public transport included, saving you even more money.

COPENHAGEN WEATHER

In general, you’ll find the summers are comfortable, though partly cloudy while the winters are long, cold and windy. The best times to visit Copenhagen for warm-weather outdoor activities is from late June to late August.

The hottest part of the year is from late June to the end of August with average daily high temperatures above 18°C (64°F). The cooler part of the year is from the beginning of November to the end of March with average daily high temperatures below 6°C (43°C).

Langelinie cruise dock

Consider yourself lucky of you dock at the Langelinie dock in Copenhagen. Langelinie is located just at the northern end of the city center and if you are a big walker than you could possibly even navigate the large city of Copenhagen bij foot. You are also about a 15 minute walk from the famous little mermaid statue. At and near the dock you will find plenty of facilities like tourist information, transportation and a hop on hop off bus.

Copenhagen Ocean Kaj

The Oceankaj in Copenhagen hosts several cruise terminals designed to facilitate ships in all their needs and demands for (dis)embarkation day. Meaning operates to get people in and out fast. There is no public transport at the cruise port. You are likely to carry your luggage with you when your ship is docked at the Ocean Kai. Therefore we recommend you to use a taxi to and from the ship. From the city center to the cruise terminal will cost you about 250 kr. You can pay the driver by credit of debit card. Hop on hop off buses might make a stop at the Ocean Kaj.

Closest metro station to Ocean Kai.

Orient kai would be the closest metro station to the Ocean kai. Please know that from there, it is still a half an hour walk to get to the cruise terminal. Doing that with luggage in hand might not be the best start of your cruise. Safe yourself the trouble and book a taxi. A taxi from the city centre to the Ocean Kai will cost you approximately 250 DKK (Danish kroner).

 COPENHAGEN - DENMARK - EUROPE  PORT INFORMATION

Copenhagen, Denmark - port information

Copenhagen of course has a proud heritage as a major Baltic port and her popularity as a cruise port has grown enormously in the last few years, with more than 500 cruises and half a million passengers visiting the city in 2008.

 Cruise Terminals in Copenhagen, Denmark

Most of the cruise lines using Copenhagen as a port of embarkation or disembarking use the new Freeport Cruise Terminal which is in an industrial harbor area north of the center of Copenhagen.

The others use Langelinie (often referred to as the Copenhagen Cruise Terminal), a pier just around the corner from the world famous Little Mermaid statue which is actually not in the center of town as one would expect, but about two miles from downtown Copenhagen. Langelinie is not a terminal as such, but a selection of shops and an information center lining the quay. Beneath the stone arches of Langelinie's old warehouses, you'll find shops that sell porcelain, amber, Danish clogs, jewelry, clothing, and other products.

Langelinie is within walking distance of most attractions, and most cruise lines offer a shuttle service to downtown Copenhagen. Also, the local bus #26 covers the same route in about 20 minutes.

Those starting and ending their cruise in Copenhagen will most likely find themselves using the Freeport Cruise Terminal.

Getting to and from the city center is relatively easy from the Freeport Cruise Terminal. An easy stroll takes about an hour, and shuttle buses and taxis take about 20 minutes.

Getting to and from Copenhagen International Airport, the primary hub for Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), offering daily non-stop and direct service to Copenhagen from gateway cities throughout the world, takes about 30 minutes by taxi or by cruise line shuttle services.

Facilities at the Freeport Terminal include restrooms, a waiting lounge with Internet access, and food and beverage kiosks.

 Cruise Lines using Copenhagen Cruise Terminals as an Embarkation / Disembarking Port

 must see attractions in denmark, copenhagen.

There are a number of attractions in Copenhagen accessible to cruise passengers from their vantage point of the two cruise terminals in Copenhagen and accessible before and after any cruise based in this city.

Tivoli Gardens: Founded in 1843, the Tivoli Gardens in the center of Copenhagen is a mix of amusement park, museum and outdoor theatre that attracts millions of visitors each year. Tivoli is currently the most visited theme park in Scandinavia and the 3rd most visited in Europe.

The Little Mermaid Statue: The first stop for cruise passenges on their way to downtown Copenhagen, because The Little Mermaid, reclining on a rock at the harbor mouth, is actually not in the center of town but about two miles from downtown Copenhagen not far from the Copenhagen Cruise Terninal at Langlelinie, the Little Mermaid statue is an icon of Copenhagen for many travelers to Denmark.

The National Museum: Built in 1746 as a prince’s palace, the National Museum of Denmark was renovated in the early 1990s. The museum has since lost much of its staid atmosphere and taken on a more modern ambiance. It is divided into prehistoric, medieval, Renaissance and 18th century sections and also features the royal collection of coins and medals, classical antiques, the ethnographic collection, the 'please touch' display on Greenland and the children's museum. The museum is so big that it is virtually impossible to see everything in one day. One of the museum’s most famous collections is the Inuit treasure collection, one of the oldest and largest in the world with over 10,000 items displayed.

Amalienborg Palace: Home to the Danish royal family, the 1794 palace is made up of Christian VII's Mansion, Christian VIII's Mansion, Frederik VIII's Mansion and Christian IX's Mansion all around a stunningly beautiful octagonal square with Saly's equestrian statue of Frederik V in the middle. The changing of the guard takes place every day at noon.

Cheap Transportation to Copenhagen Passenger Cruise Terminals

Published on May 19, 2024

by Henk Bekker

in Copenhagen , Denmark , N24

Getting to Copenhagen cruise boat terminals from the airport is easy and cheap on public transportation (train, metro, bus) but transfer services are best when traveling with luggage.

Public transportation is the cheapest way to travel to the passenger boat cruise terminals in Copenhagen from the airport, station, or downtown. Self-guided port day excursions are easy and cheap by walking or using buses in Copenhagen. Book transfers in advance when traveling with luggage.

Copenhagen Port

Getting to the cruise terminals in Copenhagen is cheap and simple on public transportation from the city center, central train station, and the airport. It is also very easy and cheap to use public transportation to explore Copenhagen on cruise port days at a fraction of the price of cruise excursion tours. Taxis or private transfer services are a sensible option when arriving or departing with suitcases but luggage transfer services from Copenhagen Airport are worth exploring for a baggage-free day of sightseeing in Copenhagen. From some boat terminals, it is a simple walk or cycle to the city. Hop On Hop Off buses call at the cruise terminals when passenger ships are in port. Uber and similar ride-share services do not operate in Denmark but private transfers are of course easily booked in advance . Get Your Guide often has tours aimed at cruise boat passengers but at far lower prices than the official shore excursions, while private tours are easy to adapt to the needs of boat passengers.

Public Transportation to Copenhagen Cruise Terminals

Copenhagen Cruise Ships

Public transportation is fairly simple and cheap to use to the various cruise terminals and ports in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen has four major passenger ship cruise terminals:

  • Oceanskaj (Ocean Quay) – the largest cruise terminal, the furthest from the city, and the main port used for cruises that start or terminate in Copenhagen.
  • Langelinie – just to the north of the city center with walking into the city a possible option.
  • Nordre Toldbod – very close to the city with walking a very pleasant option.
  • The Ferry Terminal for Oslo (Færgeterminal Søndre Frihavn)– see Transportation to the DFDS Oslo Ferry Terminal in Copenhagen for details. Ferries to Malmo no longer operate but the Helsingor-Helsingborg ferry remains popular and practical.

There are fairly limited facilities at the various cruise terminals in Copenhagen. It is generally not that pleasant to arrive much too early as there is very little to do, especially when weighed down by luggage.

Copenhagen Skyline

Public transportation tickets are valid for all forms of Copenhagen transportation – buses, harbor boat buses, trains, and metro trains – and allow for unlimited transfers during the period of validity:

  • A DKK24 (two-zone) ticket is valid for 1h15 and covers transportation from any cruise terminal to central Copenhagen.
  • A DKK36 (three-zone) ticket covers transportation all the way to the airport and is valid for 90 minutes from the time of purchase.

Single tickets need no further validation but must be shown to bus drivers when boarding buses. Tickets are available from vending machines at stations (cash or credit card) or from bus drivers (cash only).

From Copenhagen Airport to Cruise Terminals

Copenhagen Airport Transportation Signs

Traveling from Copenhagen Airport to the various cruise terminals on public transportation is fairly simple, fast, and relatively cheap. A three-zone ticket – DKK36 – covers all forms of public transportation from the airport to any of the terminals.

The fastest and simplest option is to take the metro or train from Copenhagen Airport to downtown Copenhagen and then change to the bus or walk. The main transfer stations are Kongs Nytorv (all metro lines) and at Nørreport (regular trains, metro lines M1 & M2), buses, and taxis).

If traveling directly to the terminal with luggage, a taxi or pre-booked transfer service may be worth the splurge but expect to pay around DKK500 – the fare is by the meter unless pre-booked and pre-paid. Alternatively, shave around DKK250 off the taxi fare by taking the metro to Nørreport station and continue from there to the boat by taxi. (Taxis wait at the airport, main station, and Nørreport station but at most other stations it would be necessary to call a taxi.)

Cruise shuttle buses are often available for transfers but may not necessarily be cheaper than taxis and never as cheap as public transportation. Prebooked transfers add comfort but like taxis are not cheap in Copenhagen.

See Cheap Transportation to Copenhagen Airport for more details.

Public Transportation to Ocean Quay Cruise Terminal

Copenhagen Oceankaj

Most cruises departing or terminating in Copenhagen use the purpose-built Ocean Quay (Oceankaj) cruise terminals to the north of the city. The area is perfectly safe but a bit windswept and desolate with a lot of dusty building activity in the region. Distances are too far to walk to Nordhavn train station and Orientkaj metro station (45 minutes). Cycling in this area is not particularly pleasant, even if there is a city bike rental station at the terminal.

Fortunately, public bus 164 stops directly at the Oceanskaj terminal. Take metro line 4 (blue on maps) to Orientkaj (final stop) and then continue by bus 164. During the cruise high season, there are often further bus services from Oceanskaj to Nørreport Station, which is the best option for walking into the town center, or for transfers to more buses, trains, and the metro.

NCL Norwegian Star in Copenhagen

Preferably, buy tickets at Town Shop or machines in the terminal before boarding the bus at the cruise terminal.

To reach Ocean Quay cruise terminal from the airport, the simplest option is to take the metro from the airport to Kongs Nytowrv, change here to metro line 4 to Orientkaj, from where bus 164 connects to Oceanskaj terminal. This bus runs around three times per hour and the metro every few minutes. Total traveling time is around 50 minutes but note that some walking will be required during metro and bus changes.

A taxi from the airport to Oceankaj is by the meter – expect to pay around DKK500. A taxi from Nørreport station to the Oceankaj cruise terminal should be around DKK250. Transfer services are available but do compare prices before booking.

Public Transportation to Langelinie Cruise Terminal in Copenhagen

Viking Sea in Copenhagen

From Langelinie Quay, it is easy to walk to the Little Mermaid statue and then on to the city center of Copenhagen. It is around 5 minutes walk to the Little Mermaid, another 5 minutes to Nordre Toldbod, and then 10 minutes more to the city center – a pleasant walk along the waterfront or through the Kastellet fort.

The easiest public transportation option is bus 27 from Østerport station but only buses with Langelinie as the final destination actually stop at Langelinie quay. The Langelinie buses usually operate only when passenger cruise boats are in port.

Buses 27 with Færgeterminal Søndre Frihavn as final destination usually run three times per hour. The Indiakaj stop is only a block from the start of Langelinie quay but in many cases walking from the station may be faster than waiting for the bus.

Wind Surf in Copenhagen

Østerport station is around 15 minutes walk from Langelinie – not the most picturesque part of the city but perfectly safe for walking. A taxi from Nørreport station should be around DKK125.

To reach Langelinie from the airport, the simplest option is to take the regular train to Østerport station and continue on bus 27. Traveling time is around 40 minutes. A further option that might be a few minutes faster but requires more walking, is the metro to Kongs Nytorv, change to Metro M3 or M4 for Østerport. A taxi from the airport should cost around DKK350 – more in heavy traffic.

Public Transportation to Nordre Toldbod Cruise Terminal in Copenhagen

MS Europa at Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen

Nordre Toldbod is the closest to central Copenhagen of all the passenger ship terminals. It is mostly used by smaller and luxurious ship lines that stop over in Copenhagen for day excursions and thus transporting luggage is less of an issue.

Nordre Tolbod is directly next to the Kastellet fort to the immediate north of central Copenhagen. From here, it is a pleasant ten-minute stroll along the waterfront to Amalienborg or Nyhavn, or a few minutes walk northwards to the Little Mermaid statue .

Following the opening of the new metro circle line in September 2019, no buses run in this part of Copenhagen but the waterbus 991 and 992 stop close by. The closest metro station is Marmorkirke — less than a kilometer away.

MS Europa and Little Mermaid in Copenhagen

To reach Nordre Toldbod from the airport, use the metro to Kongs Nytorv and change to Metro M3 or M4 for Marmorkirke or Østerport station. (Simply walking from Kongs Nytorv is also a good option and passes by the popular Nyhavn area and Amalienborg .)

A taxi from the airport should cost around DKK350 – more in heavy traffic. A taxi from Kongs Nytorv station should be around DKK125.

Cheap Self-Made Shore Excursions in Copenhagen

Thezinker in Copenhagen

It is easy and cheap to use local buses and trains for sightseeing in Copenhagen on the day before or after a cruise or on port days.

Bus 26, which used to be ideal for self-made Copenhagen bus tours changed its route following the opening of the new metro circle line. Using the bus to Østerport station and then continue by metro is now the simpler option.

From Østerport, use the metro in the direction of Kongs Nytorv, the following stops are handy for sightseeing:

  • Østerport station: SMK National Gallery and Rosenborg Palace .
  • Marmorkirke: Marble Church, Design Museum , Amalienborg Royal Palace and Museum , and Medical Museion .
  • Kongs Nytorv: Nyhavn, Strøget pedestrian street and the metro to the airport .
  • Gammel Strand: Christiansborg , National Museum of Denmark , Thorvaldsens Museum , old town center (Royal Copenhagen shop)
  • Rådhuspladsen: Townhall, Copenhagen Museum , Tivoli , Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek , and Stroget pedestrian street
  • Kobenhavn K: Hovedbanegården (central station), Tivoli
  • Frederiksberg Allé: Frederiksberg Gardens, Palace, and Zoo .

Hop On Hop Off buses are useful alternatives and call directly at cruise terminals when passenger ships are in port. Private guided tours and group tours are also easy to arrange a great alternative to the more than 30 shore excursion buses that often line up at Langelinie when large boats are in port.

Left Luggage Lockers and Bag Transfers

Copenhagen Luggage Service makes it possible to check luggage in at the airport for transfers to accommodation or even cruise ships and enjoy the day in Copenhagen without luggage. This service is also available for luggage delivery to the airport. Combining this service with public transportation is often cheaper than using a taxi plus the advantage of being able to spend the day in the city without having to drag luggage along.

Many shops in tourist areas do left-luggage storage for a small fee – look for the left luggage signs or book online in advance. Lockers are also available at the airport and main station. During the main cruise season, further luggage transfer services are often available to allow cruisers a bag-free day pre- and post-cruise.
