How to get around Copenhagen, by bicycle, by public transport such as buses, trains and subway or by taxi, here are the costs and the cards to move low cost in Denmark.
Visit Copenhagen it is very simple as the city is not very large and therefore does not require the use of the car at all, also because the city is served by a good public transport network and cycle paths.
In my opinion the best and cheapest way to visit Copenhagen is simply walking; first because it allows you not to lose all the corners of this beautiful city and then because it is not a city that is too big you can reach the main attractions on foot, of course maybe a little training helps.
Another way to keep fit is ride a bicycle, a means that in Copenhagen you will certainly not struggle to find; the city is equipped with cycle paths practically everywhere and is stocked with city ​​bike for hire that you can find at the appropriate parking lots throughout the city. Rental is possible at any time of day or night all year round at the cost of Dkr25 per hour (about € 3,35) and pay by credit card using the bike's touchscreen.
There is however a little detail that it could ruin this beautiful idea or bad weather; and yes, because Copenhagen like most Nordic cities is often subject to rain and in this case visiting it by walking or cycling is not exactly the best idea.
But no problem, the capital is well supplied by other public transport including the bus with very frequent services throughout the day and with services also at night; The subway, currently there are two lines, the M1 (green) and the M2 (yellow) that connects the airport (Lufthavnen) to the city center in just about 15 minutes, getting off at the Kongens Nytorv stop (in the Nyhavn district). in front of the Magasin du Nord department store and a few steps from the famous colorful houses along the Nyhavn canal, the cost for this route is Dkr36 (about € 5).
Another possibility is the taxi that you can find in many parts of the city, if the words "fee”Is yellow it means that the taxi is free; on almost all taxis you can also pay by credit card.
If you want to reach more peripheral areas you can use the S-tog that is the network of local trains that starts from København central station and has seven lines; other stations in the city center are Nørreport and østerbro.
Obviously, then, in a city by the sea, gods cannot be missing maritime links: Havnebus is a ferry service that offers small economic cruises in the port area and that will allow you to reach some of the main tourist sites such as the Operaen, Nyhavn and the Royal Library.
To move without worries, you can take the Rejsekort which is a smart card valid for all areas of Copenhagen (there are 7) and for all public transport. It costs Dkr180 (about € 25) and it can be bought and recharged at the underground stations, the central station and the airport.
