about Copenhagen

Copenhagen (Danish København) is the capital of Denmark and the country's largest city (metropolitan population 1,211,542 in 2006). It is also the name of the adjacent county. Copenhagen is the seat of the national parliament, the government, and the monarchy.

The original designation for the city, from which the contemporary Danish name is derived, was Kjøbmandehavn, "merchants' harbor". The English name for the city is derived from its German name, Kopenhagen. The element hafnium is named after the city's Latin name, Hafnia.

Copenhagen is one of Europe's most enjoyable cities. Situated on the Oresund (Danish: Øresund) strait, with Sweden just minutes away by train, it is a link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia, and has a wealth of cultural and entertaining things to see and do.

The city has a reputation for tolerance, the fascinating 'free city' of Christiania, a community of people who have tried to create an equal and just consensus-governed democracy for its people.

There is more to here than Carlsberg and The Little Mermaid, and a trip to the wonderful Tivoli Gardens will leave the visitor in no doubt that this is a very special city.

Tipping in Denmark is included in the salaries of professionals. Thus tipping, while obviously greatly appreciated, is not required. So feel free to tip from your heart, rewarding those you feel deserve it and ignore the rest without shame.

Get in
By plane - Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport (CPH) is the main hub of Scandinavia's largest carrier SAS Scandinavian and regularly wins favorable comments from passengers for both design and function.

A number of low-cost carriers also fly to the airport. EasyJet serve Copenhagen from London Stansted and Berlin Schönefeld. Sterling and Snowflake (SAS's budget brand) connect Copenhagen with many cities in Europe and beyond. Air Berlin flies direct to Dusseldorf and Berlin. Norwegian offers budget flights to Oslo and Warsaw.

By train and bus - All buses and trains stop at Central Station, the main transport hub. There are hourly trains from major cities such as Odense and Aarhus via the Storebælt Bridge. The easiest and fastest way to get in from Sweden is to cross the Øresund Bridge via Malmö, a journey of only 30 minutes.

Gråhundbus (DKK 60, DKK 100 same day return), Swebus Express, and Säfflebussen have routes to Malmö and Sweden. To Malmö the buses take longer but are cheaper than the train, especially for daytrips.

Travel by train has been prioritized politically, therefore Copenhagen still lacks an international bus terminal. Most international busses stop somewhere around the Central Station, but be sure to check the exact location when you buy your ticket.

There are about half a dozen daily trains to Hamburg and Luebeck in Germany via Rødby-Puttgarden (train ferry).

By boat - Ferries ply between Copenhagen Port and Oslo (16hr), Bornholm (7hr) and Swinouzcie (Poland).

By yacht - Copenhagen has several marinas. The biggest is Svanemøllehavnen. There are no designated visitor berths but it is almost always possible to find one with a green sign. Daily charge: 75-120 DKK.
