Taxi & Transfers to and from Copenhagen

How to get from Copenhagen city to airport and any other destinations

Copenhagen is the major cultural, economical and transport hub not only of Denmark but of the whole Northern Europe. Two international airports - Kastrup and Roskilde receive flights from different cities, countries and continents. Ferries connect Copenhagen with the ports of Saint-Petersburg, Germany, Sweden, England, France and even New York.

Taxi from Copenhagen

Taxi service in Copenhagen is very popular with the tourists who do not want to devastate their wallets and wish to get from Copenhagen to the point they need without efforts and not spending time and nerves.

But that mode of transport has a number of shortcomings:

— you can not be sure, there will be a free car for you

— you will know the fare right after you have got to the drop-off point, which means you will have to pay the clearly excessive sum 

— the driver may be light-fingered man who drives up the meter or will be driving in circles around the city using your ignorance.

Taxi in Copenhagen will cost on average 20 USD. Take into account that cabs from city companies hardly will take you beyond city limits, so planning a long-distance trip check with an operator if it is possible to have a long trip at all.

When ordering a transfer you can order the functionality you need, for example, a child seat or a booster, you can order a usual car, minivan or even a minibus. Evaluate the transfer advantages yourself  and you will have no doubts left, that it is a perfect option.

Public transport from Copenhagen

Public transport system in Copenhagen is well developed: buses, trains, water buses (yellow motorboats), and metro. The metro in the capital, by the way, has been acclaimed as one of the best in Europe. 

Traffic is carried out both within the city and in its suburbs, so-called the Greater Copenhagen. All the transport routes run right on time, and a public transport ride costs on average 5 USD.

Although public transport in Copenhagen is modern and quite comfortable, it is still inferior to taxi and transfers in convenience. One should wait for the transport when it rains, when strong wind blows, and in the end it may be overcrowded, particularly in rush hour. Sometimes it takes two buses or more to get to the place you need, which is inconvenient especially for ones who has come to visit the city for the first time and has trouble navigating.

Copenhagen: useful information

Copenhagen just seems to be small but it is located on three islands - Zealand, Slotsholmen and Amager. This city is the capital of Denmark with its own temper and unforgettable atmosphere. Copenhagen smells like sea, Hans Christian Andersen’s tales and rain. Along the noisy and eternally hurrying European metropolises, the Denmark’s capital is rightfully considered to be a quiet and cosy city. 

One of the interesting facts about Copenhagen, which is told in every excursion, is that there is a separate city inside the city. Semi-autonomous Freetown Christiania even has its own laws but on the whole the Danish legislation works there.
