Copenhagen Airport to City Centre (Don't Make This Mistake!)

How to get from CPH Airport to the city centre? It's easy! Getting from Copenhagen Airport to the city centre can take as little as 13 minutes! In this video, I'll show you exactly how to take the train and the metro and warn you about the taxis as they're costly 💸

I'm Kris - a Danish travel blogger and tour guide. I used to run my own travel agency, and I'm a massive travel-planning geek 🤓

I live in Copenhagen, so CPH Airport is the main airport I always go to. It's one of the best airports in Europe, and it's such a breeze to get the metro straight from the arrival hall to the city centre in only 13 minutes!

Don't excuse the old central train station for being old. That's the charm and beauty of it!

IMPORTANT INFO regarding the train: in this video, I state that you can get any train from platform 2 if your destination is Copenhagen Central Station. That is no longer the case - there are now a couple of trains every hour that do NOT stop at the Central Station.

Most trains do, but make sure you check the screens before boarding the train 🤝

We visited Copenhagen for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and the journey to City Centre was seamless. From the airport to Norreport on the M1, and walked 2.5 blocks to our hotel. If only every city in the world was so easy to enjoy!

Copenhagen Central Station looks magnificent - a wonderful piece of heritage. We are going to Copenhagen tomorrow and this video was very helpful.

The Central Station has a lot of charm. Cleaner and safer than in some Belgian Railways Stations.
At the end I used my CPH card during my first visit in July 2023. And the metro has easier, arrived nearly closed to the hotel 🙂

Hi there Chris(or do you write it Kris) You`ve covered what as a traveler I`d appreciate knowing when i arrive in a foreign country.Brilliant video and im looking forward to more videos, thanks for sharing.

It seems the DOT Tickets app also is usable for visitors (no requirement for a national phone number like such apps used to have - I was able to use my Norwegian one for registering), like buying a City Pass if you are staying a few days and want the freedom to just jump on and off local transport. So even less reasons to use the ticket machines unless you want a souvenir :)

[Planetizy]

The City Pass is really convenient and so easy to take from the airport terminal. We would definitely say the metro but if you land at night be careful, they sometimes close the metro for a couple of hours (maintenance) and they especially don't communicate that in their app or website 😉.

I should have a long plane change break next month so we decided to visit Your beautiful city between the flights - the information in this video is exactly what we need, many thanks!

For an American who has known nothing but car-centered infrastructure, that "old" train station looks amazing to me. It has a lot of charm and uniqueness to it.

Thanks, really detailed. I'm in love with that system... so simple, so frequent. Now, I must plan a trip! 🌟

[Agnyts]

Went to Copenhagen from a country that does not have a metro system so this video really helped! Provided all the necessary information and great tips! Navigating was very easy. Thank you :)

[petefrys]

Great video just what we needed were travelling to Copenhagen in Nov, looking forward to it.

[syedjavedahmad]

Thanks for the heads up, we are going to be in Copenhagen in weeks. 👍👍

[Mimi_L.]

Great first video! I love Københaven. It's the quintessential Nordic cool. Look forward to your next videos and more power to your channel!

[AldogContentNetwork]

Thanks for the tips! Visiting next week, we are very excited!

Fed video, det er du rigtig god til. I det hele taget er du god til at sætte rejser sammen og forklare tingene. Du lavede for nogle år siden en reje til mig og tre andre til Skotland. En af de bedste turer vi har haft, som vi stadig tænker tilbage på. Jeg ønsker dig alt mulig lykke til på denne kanal.

Hi Chris! Thanks for this visual guide! I'll be flying into CPH with a 3.5 hour layover so I'm researching how to take the Metro toward Nyhavn via Kongens Nytorv, take selfies along the canal, and then ride back toward the airport for my onward flight to Dublin. It'll be my very first time in Denmark, ever! And it wasn't even supposed to happen, but SAS unceremoniously modified my layover (was ARN, now CPH). And I thought well actually, I might like the change!

Just what we needed to make our arrival in Copenhagen a breeze! Thank you for starting our holiday perfectly!
