Tickets & prices

Tickets for Copenhagen's metro, bus and train services are all integrated in Greater Copenhagen , which makes a metro ticket valid for the buses and trains as well.

Where to buy your ticket?

Always buy a ticket before boarding the train or metro. You can buy your ticket in ticket machines, which accept Danish cash and the most common credit cards, or 7 Eleven kiosks at the train and metro stations. In Copenhagen Airport arrival hall and at Copenhagen Central Station  there is a DSB ticket office as well as ticket machines. Please note that not all ticket types/travel cards are for sale via machines. Onboard the buses in Copenhagen, you also have the possibility to buy your ticket from the driver, if you bring small change.

The same ticket can be used in the metro, bus, train and harbour bus. Always have your ticket with you in case a conductor wants to see it. Travelling without a valid ticket will result in a fine of up to DKK 1000.

Pay with your smartphone or online

Download the app "DOT Billetter" in App Store and Google Play and pay for your tickets on the go. Click "Indstillinger" (settings) followed by "Sprog" (language) to select English version. From there you can select the fare you need and enter your credit card details.

You can also  buy your bus, train and metro tickets online .

Which type of ticket do you need?

If you are looking for a regular single trip ticket, it depends on the number of zones you want to travel in. You can use a single trip ticket for both bus, harbour bus, train and metro, as long as you do not travel beyond the zones and the time frame of your ticket. 

Travelling from Copenhagen Airport to the city centre?

You will need a 3 zones ticket. 3 zones adult ticket is DKK 36. Children's tickets are half price. Click here for more information on transportation from the airport. 

Travelling in the city?

You will need a 2 zone ticket. 2 zones adult ticket is DKK 24. Children's tickets are half price.  

Travelling elsewhere in the Capital Region?

If you are going to Roskilde , Elsinore , Frederikssund or elsewhere is the Capital Region , you will need an eight zones ticket, which costs DKK 84. Children's tickets are half price. 

If you are travelling a lot by public transport, a Copenhagen Card could also be a good solution. With this, you will get free access to public transport as well as access to over 80 attractions and museums. 

With a  Copenhagen Card  in hand you don’t have to worry about zones and ticket prices, as you get unlimited transportation in the entire  Capital Region  (including to/from Copenhagen Airport). In addition, you get  free admission to more than 80 attractions and museums  as well as discounts on several restaurants, cafés, sightseeing activities etc. 

The Copenhagen Card is valid for 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours.

The Copenhagen Card is 100% digital and works through our app 'Copenhagen Card City Guide', which can be downloaded for free via  App Store  or  Google Play .

Other relevant ticket types?

If neither the single trip ticket nor the Copenhagen Card sound like the right type of ticket for your stay in Copenhagen, there are a couple of other options to choose from: the City Pass and the Rejsekort. 

What is City Pass?

In Copenhagen, you can choose between two different versions of the City Pass – the City Pass Small and the City Pass Large.  

The City Pass Small gives you unlimited access to buses, trains, metro and harbour buses in zones 1 - 4, which includes the center of Copenhagen and to and from the airport. 

Meanwhile, the City Pass Large let you travel unlimited in zones 1 – 99, which includes Roskilde, Elsinore and other destinations in Northern Zealand.

The City Pass is valid for 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours.

You can buy your City Pass at the ticket vending machine at all stations and including at the airport, or online at  www.citypass.dk

Read more about the  Citypass  here. 

What is Rejsekort?

Rejsekortet  is a travel card popular with commuters and frequent travellers in Denmark, but also offers a card to foreign visitors;  Rejsekort Anonymous  which does not require an address in Denmark or any personal details. You can buy Rejsekort Anonymous at Copenhagen Central Station's ticket office and several other places. The Rejsekort Anonymous card itself costs DKK 80, and when you buy it at a ticket office or one of the Rejsekort machines, you are expected to add DKK 70 to the balance to cover the cost of travel.

Buying and using Tickets & Rail Passes in Denmark

This guidewill help you save money, time and confusion.

Welcome to ShowMeTheJourney's guide to booking train tickets for train journeys within and to and from Denmark , the info covers the core basics of what you can expect to encounter when making bookings. The intention is to privide context for the tickets and journey options you should encounter, in usual circumstances, when making a booking either online or at the station. SMTJ has striven to ensure that the advice presented is as accurate as possible, but a guide such as this cannot cover every combination of journey options.

If you want to go right ahead with a booking, you can jump to the links for the booking agents in the Content menu, though before doing so, having an idea of what's available is recommended; hence the in-depth answers to questions you're most likely to be asking.

Nine things which are good to know about tickets for long-distance Danish train journeys and international train journeys to and from Denmark

(1) DSB is Denmark’s national rail operator and its website looks great, but it has a couple of quirks when using it to book train tickets. One of which, is that when switching to the English language version, most of the site’s content disappears; apart from the booking path. Hence the step-by-step guide to how to use the DSB website, which you'll find below.

(2) DSB uses the Danish spellings of cities/towns, but on the English language version of the website, the names the cities will be automatically translated. (3) You can save money by booking discounted tickets in advance. (4) Those discounted tickets are known as 'Orange Tickets'. (5) Tickets are placed on sale two months ahead of the travel date. (6) Seat reservations are optional on the express trains, so need to be added when making a booking.

(7) The core difference between Lyn and IC (Inter City) services is speed. On routes they share with IC services the Lyn departures are faster because they stop at less stations, but tickets for Lyn services aren't automatically more expensive; what impacts on prices is that the discounted 'Orange' tickets are less likely to be available on Lyn departures

(8) You will receive a confirmation of your online booking by email; the ticket will be attached as a PDF, but you don't HAVE to print it. If you save the PDF to your smart phone/mobile device, you can show the ticket on your phone to the ticket inspector/conductor.

(9) I.D. is required for Danish train tickets to be valid; so if when making a booking you selected 'passport', you will need to have it with you, even when making non-international train journeys.

Booking tickets for rail journeys within Denmark:

DSB is the national rail operator in Denmark and its booking service offers the best prices on Danish rail tickets.

There are two main types of tickets sold online for long distance train journeys in Denmark;

(1) Orange tickets (2) Standard tickets (Something to watch out for is that 'Standard' is also the name of 2nd class on Danish trains).

'Orange' Tickets:

In contrast to 'Standard' tickets 'Orange' tickets are discounted; the most heavily discounted Orange tickets can be around 3 x cheaper than the Standard (non- discounted) price

Limited numbers of these tickets will be made available on most IC (Inter City) and Regional (Regiontog) train services and on some of the faster Lyn train services. So if you want to save money and/or reserve seats when travelling by long distance express trains in Denmark, it pays off to book online in advance and seek out these 'Orange' tickets.

Standard Tickets:

'Standard' tickets aren't discounted, the clue is in the name. But the big plus of booking 'Standard' tickets is that they aren't train departure specific, so can be used on any departure on the date you have selected to travel by. So if you want to make a day trip somewhere, you'll be free to return by whatever train you choose if you use Standard tickets.

When searching for journeys make sure the ‘Orange' tickets’ box is ticked, if it's not you won’t see any ‘Orange’ tickets at all.

Whether 'Orange' tickets are available on the departures you're looking at won't be immediately obvious. Only ticket prices are shown in the search results and the type of ticket(s) available isn't listed.

You can only ascertain whether the ticket price is for an 'Orange' ticket by clicking on the price you will initially see. Though prices that are 100 kr less than other departures, are a strong indicator of 'Orange' ticket availability.

‘Orange’ tickets are not available on all departures, no matter how far ahead you book; particularly on the most popular Lyn train services. So try to be flexible re: departure/arrival times and search through the departures on the day you want to travel, no matter how far in advance you will be booking.

Some IC and Lyn departures may have Orange tickets available, even when most don’t, it can be a needle in a haystack scenario.

The pricing of 'Orange' tickets:

A sliding scale of prices is applied to ‘Orange’ tickets, you generally need to book around 6 weeks ahead to obtain the very cheapest price(s). On your travel date some departures may have cheaper ‘Orange’ tickets available than others; another very good reason for searching through the departures.

The core terms and conditions for 'Orange' tickets:

These tickets are train specific, so Orange tickets can't be moved to a different train if you subsequently change your travel plans.

Tickets are placed on sale online two months ahead of the travel date. So the further ahead you can book, the more likely it is that discounted 'Orange' tickets will be available on a wide spread of departures.

Booking less than a week ahead:

Look up a journey a week or less ahead of the travel date and ‘Orange’ tickets will be most LIKELY sold out on Lyn train services on which they had been available.

However, it’s not unknown for additional ‘Orange’ tickets, at the cheapest possible price, to be made available for the slower IC trains a couple of days ahead. Therefore you may be able to grab a late bargain; so it can be a good idea to hold back from paying the full (non-Orange) price for journeys by IC trains. Keep checking as your travel date approaches, if additional Orange tickets are released the price will fall.

Seat reservations are optional for journeys by IC (Inter City), Regional (Regiontog) AND Lyn train services. If you don't add a reservation when making a booking seats aren’t guaranteed. Reservations used to be automatically included when booking Orange tickets; but no longer.

However, when you do make a reservation, you can choose your seat(s).

When is it worth paying to add the reservation?

There are no rules around this, so these are suggestions as to when this will be likely to be worthwhile. SMTJ particularly recommend making reservations on:

(1) Any departure from Kobenhavn H station between 16:00 and 18:30. When boarding IC (Inter City) and Lyn train services at Kobenhavn H station, these trains will have previously picked up passengers at Osterport and Norreport stations. Though if you will be boarding at those other stations in central Copenhagen, you'll be more likely to find seats available.

(2) All IC and Lyn train services departing Fridays and Sundays between 14:00 and 19:30.

(3) All journeys by Lyn services during the day from Fredericia and Odense TO Kobenhavn; these train services can fill up on rout

When travelling by train in Denmark the national rail operator is DSB. Book discounted adult 'Orange' or non-discounted Standard' tickets on the DSB website for long-distance journeys which include travel over the Great Belt Bridge, and up to two children under 12 years of age, can travel with each adult ticket holder free of charge. Seat reservations are optional if you will be travelling by Lyn or Intercity services, so make sure you add them to the booking, if you want to be sure of sitting together.

Though the rules around travelling with children vary according to region, but in general they equate to free travel for those aged 11 and under /under 12 and at around 50% of the adult rate for children aged 12 to 15.

In Denmark travellers aged 67 and over receive a variable discount depending on the length of the journey and the region in which the journey will be taken. Though having compared prices for the discounted Orange tickets for longer-distance journeys by IC and express trains, the typical discount for these trips seems to be around 12%.

The 'rules' set by the Danish national rail operator DSB are that if a dog can be fitted in a pet carrier / container measuring no more than 100x60x30cm, no ticket will be required for the dog.

Dogs that are too large for the pet carrier, or if you don't want to put the dog in the pet carrier you will need to buy a child ticket for the dog; only one dog can be taken by each traveller. Child tickets for those aged 12-15 typically cost around 50% of the adult rate for a journey, so the cheapest method of travelling long-distance is to add a child aged 12-15 when booking with DSB .

Also good to know is that dogs:

• cannot travel in 1st class;
• can only travel in the marked areas on the trains;
• these areas do not include the quiet zones and Family zones on the trains.

The travel info on the DSB also suggests that if you will be travelling long-distance on a Lyn or IC express service that you should make a seat reservation for your dog, it won't be able to sit in it, but it is so that you can ensure that there will be a space in front of the seat on the floor of the train, for the dog to occupy.

DSB sells tickets online for train journeys from Denmark to Germany, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Czech Republic and Austria. Though on DSB the section of its site dedicated to international booking is in Danish, so you may need to resort to Google Translate. Train tickets between Denmark and any other country not listed above have to be booked by phone, call DSB Customer International 70 13 14 1

DSB tends to have the cheapest possible tickets available from Denmark TO Germany, but the Swedish booking service SJ (see the link above) tends to have cheaper prices on trains between Denmark and Sweden.

However, DSB does NOT sell tickets for the Snabbtåg trains from Copenhagen/København to Stockholm; you will need to use Swedish rail operator SJ’s online booking service .

The four key things to be aware of when using rail passes within and to/from Denmark.

(1) There is no pan-Scandinavian rail pass available that Europeans can purchase.

(2) Rail pass users can hop on any domestic train service within Denmark operated by DSB. However, note that seat reservation information above; seats aren't guaranteed without reservations, particularly on the Lyn train services.

(3) Reservations are required prior to boarding if you want to take a Snabbtåg train to Sweden; and info on how these can be booked online is available on our Swedish train tickets guide .

(4) In summer months rail pass users also have to reserve in advance on the Kobenhavn/Copenhagen to Hamburg route ; Rail pass reservations for the trains between Denmark and Germany can be booked through the DSB website (the tech is provided by the B-Europe reservation system). The German national rail operator is also once again selling these reservations on the the DB website

How to get around Denmark with public transport

Public transport in Denmark is easy, fast and convenient. As a small country with hundreds of islands, there are myriad interconnecting transport routes by land, sea and air. Here's all you need to know about how to find your way around Denmark. 

How to get to Copenhagen from the airport?

The quickest route from the airport to Copenhagen is via regional train or Metro . It takes under 15 minutes to reach the city centre and you can buy the tickets you need at the airport: you need a 3-zone ticket that costs approximately DKK 36.

The train runs directly to Copenhagen Central Station (Hovedbanegård) in the centre of the city and is ideal if you are staying there or want to take a train onwards to other Danish cities. If you want to reach Nørrebro, Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Osterbrø or other areas of Copenhagen, the metro is the best option.

You can also take bus 5A from the airport to reach the city centre in approximately 35 minutes, and there is a taxi rank outside Arrivals. Typically, taxis cost DKK 250-350 and take 20-30 minutes to reach the city centre.

By the way, did you know that Copenhagen Airport has been CO2 neutral since 2019?

Copenhagen's transport options

Public transport in Copenhagen  is inexpensive and easy to use . You can pay per journey in cash at a machine in a metro or train station or in person on a bus. Copenhagen is divided into zones, and fares depend on how many zones you are travelling through. 

The Copenhagen Card gives you unlimited public transport in the capital region of Denmark, plus free entry to over 80 museums and attractions. It is available for a 24, 48, 72 and 120-hour period, costing €54-133 for adults, with a version for children 10-15 years old costing less. Parents note: one adult can take two under 10s to museums and attractions for free and two under 12s on public transport for free.

You can also buy a City Pass , a digital travel ticket for unlimited public transport over a 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120-hour period, costing from DKK 80  for 24 hours for unlimited travel in Copenhagen zones 1-4, including the airport. There is a version for adults and another for children over 12. Buy online and remember to keep your phone charged.

Harbour bus

The harbour bus runs in both directions from Teglholm in the south to Refshaleøen in the north. These boats are operated by the same carrier as normal buses, and all ticket types are valid. It is a great way to see the city from the water and an efficient way to get from Nyhavn to Reffen in the summer. Since 2020, all harbour buses have run on green electricity.

Bike and electric scooter

It’s super easy to rent a bike from a local bike shop, pick up a Donkey rental bike on the street, or rent an electric scooter via an app. For more about bike rental and the city’s cycling rules , see this  bike guide . You can take a bike on the metro, but not during commuter hours (Mondays to Fridays, 7:00-9:00 and 15:30-17:30), and also on a regional train. For both, you must buy a ticket for yourself and your bike!

Getting around Denmark by public transport

The journey is the destination when you’re travelling around Denmark – if you want to travel car-free, you can choose from a reliable train, bus, ferry and boat network.

Train travel in Denmark

It's easy to travel by train beyond Copenhagen to the rest of Denmark. A train from Copenhagen to Aarhus will take three hours, to Aalborg four hours and to Odense an hour and a half. DSB is the official Danish national rail operator, and you can see train routes, find times and book train tickets on the  DSB website or by calling +45 70 13 14 15. Booking in advance, up to two months before travel, is advised – check the section ‘ DSB Orange’ for the best value off peak tickets on the train operator’s website. An adult can take two children under 12 on a train for free.

Trains also run from Denmark to Sweden from the main central station in Copenhagen, with Swedish rail company SJ . It takes under 40 minutes to reach Malmö and there are regular overnight trains as well as multiple daily options for the 5.5-hour direct trip to Stockholm. Book online at sj.se or buy a ticket in a station.

European citizens can buy a single country  InterRail Denmark Pass  offering unlimited train journeys up to 8 days a month; Denmark is also included in the InterRail Global Pass that allows access to train routes in 33 European countries, making a multi-stop Scandinavian trip easy. The Eurail Denmark Pass offers similar options for non-European citizens.

Coach Travel in Denmark

You can also travel by coach using Denmark’s extensive network of long-distance coach routes. Bus connections are operated by providers including  Eurolines Germany  and  FlixBus  with routes between Danish towns and cities as well as multiple cities in Europe.

Ferries in Denmark

As you'd expect from a country made up of so many islands, boats and ferries provide an essential service. It's also a refreshing way to travel.

Several major tour operators run ferry and cruise services to Denmark from other major European destinations, including Scandlines ,  Color Line ,  Fjord Line  and  Stena Line . DFDS operates a two-night cruise from Copenhagen to Oslo with overnight travel to Oslo, a day (6.5 hours) in the city and overnight travel back, among other routes.

Within Denmark, there are numerous ferries and passenger boats that will take you to the many smaller Danish islands.  Click here for a full rundown.

Flying in Denmark

There are several daily flights from Copenhagen to cities around Denmark. For example,  SAS  have direct flights to  Aarhus ,  Aalborg  and  Billund , while  Norwegian  fly directly to Aalborg, Billund and  Karup .

Airlines such as  DAT  and Alsie Express  provide domestic and international flight services to smaller airports such as Bornholm, Odense, Esbjerg and Sønderborg.

.a { fill-rule: evenodd; } priser Cheaper than single tickets

The price of a journey with Rejsekort can be influenced by factors such as customer type or the time of day you travel.

There may also be differences in price depending on the type of travel authorization you use.

You can always check the price with different types of cards and tickets on Rejseplanen (the Journey Planner).

→ Go to rejseplanen.dk .

Train journeys on Funen and in Jutland are priced higher than journeys by bus. This means that a train journey will be more expensive than a bus trip in the same zone—regardless of your customer type. This also means that you will pay more for a journey if you travel by train during a part of it.

Please check the price of your journey on Rejseplanen.

.a { fill-rule: evenodd; } person Customer type and supplements

Some customer types pay a lower price than others on certain journeys. Other customer types always travel at lower prices, e.g. children and disabled persons.

When you order a Rejsekort, you must choose which customer type you will be travelling as:

• “Child” – between 0 and 15 years
• “Young Person” – between 16 and 25 years, with a “Ungdomskort”, or enrolled at an SU-approved education program
• “Adult” – older than 16 years
• “Pensioner” – older than 67 years (or early-retirement pensioner).
• “Disabled Person”

 “Dog” and “Bike” are also customer types for which you can order a Rejsekort.

About customer types and prices The price of the journey is determined by the public transport operators with which you travel. This is also why the price of your customer type may vary depending on where you travel.

You can change the setting for each journey from “Standard” to “DSB 1'” through a Rejsekort Vending Machine at selected train stations.

If you wish to change the setting permanently and always travel first class when possible, log into our Self Service or stop by a DSB retailer.

→   Go to overview of which bus lines that will add a trip supplement here .

You can get more information about these supplements on the websites of the individual public transport operators.

The supplement is added to the price of the journey when you check in and out of the metro. Or when you choose one or more of the zones that the supplement covers on your Season Pass and also choose that the card should be valid in the metro.

If you travel at times entitling you to a time discount, the discount also applies to the supplement.

.a { fill-rule: evenodd; } sted Travel areas

With a Rejsekort, you will normally pay for the number of zones that occur from the point at which you checked in to the point at which you checked out.

The public transport operators have divided the country into different fare sectors and fare sets. A fare area is a geographically outlined area, and the fare set is the pricing that applies in that area.

The price of a journey may vary from one fare area to another, and is determined by which fare set the journey is based on.

You can travel:

• Within a public transport operator’s area (regionally on Funen, in Jutland, on Zealand—including Lolland, Falster, and Møn)
• Between the public transport operator’s areas without crossing Storebælt (e.g. Funen–Jutland, Northern Jutland–Southern Jutland)
• By bus and/or by train on Funen or in Jutland (except in Northern Jutland)
• Across Storebælt (nationally)

When you look up a journey through our Self Service, you will always be able to see which fare set that the price of the journey is based on.

You can travel to Malmö C, Hyllie and Triangeln through DSB with a Rejsekort.

When bringing along 'free' children on your journey, the children age limits from the Øresund ratesystem are in use. 

This means that paying adults can bring along children under 7 years old for free. Paying adults can bring up to 2 children under the age of 7 for free. Paying children, however, cannot bring other children with them for free.

Children between 7-15 years old and children under 7 years old that travel alone, pay approximately half of the price of a paying adult.
