By bus
Buses between Jutland and Copenhagen are only marginally cheaper than the train, although there are considerable discounts offered M-Th. International buses on the other hand offer considerably lower prices than the train. Which, however, has been prioritized politically, and Copenhagen therefore still lacks an intercity bus terminal. Most international buses stop somewhere around the Central Station usually next to DGI-byen, but be sure to check the exact location when you buy your ticket. Domestic long-distance buses mostly terminate at Toftegårds Plads, near Valby station in the Vesterbro district.
From Jutland bus number 888 connects Copenhagen with Aarhus and Aalborg several times per day. Journey time is five hours and fifteen minutes from Aalborg. On Zealand there are additional stops in Holbæk and Roskilde. Line 882 runs between Copenhagen and Fjerritslev in Northwestern Jutland once every day.
By bus
Links from Scandinavia are fairly frequent and very economical compared to the train. Most buses arrive and depart from DGI Byen, near the southern overpass of the central station. Passengers are generally encouraged to buy tickets online, but tickets can also be be purchased at the Copenhagen Right Now tourist information desk near the central station. In the winter Dec-Apr Fjällexpressen (http://stromma.se/sv/buss...) whisks skiers between Copenhagen and the Swedish ski resorts. When booking online, it's useful to know that Copenhagen is called Köpenhamn in Swedish.

From Europe there are several bus companies which offer numerous daily connections from Germany often at very competitive rates, most run via the ferries from Rødby to Puttgarden or Gedser to Rostock. Many of these services, especailly if headed to points East such as Berlin, are considerably faster than the best train connections. Most of these buses stops near DGI byen on Ingerslevsgade.

From and to Poland there are a host of different bus companies each with a few weekly scheduled departures. Unfortunately the market is very fluid and routes and operators tend to change rapidly. Try Baltic Bus (http://balticbus.dk/) for twice weekly connections with GdaÅsk 25h30m. Agat (http://agat.eu/) provides four round trips per week between Copenhagen and Katowice 20 hrs in Southern Poland, and Eurobus (http://eurobus.pl) for connections with Warsaw 20 hrs via Hamburg once per week. If any of these companies have shut down, try searching for alternatives, as there is a good chance someone else will have taken over the traffic.
By Ferry Or Cruise Ship
Ferries between Copenhagen and Oslo, Norway 16 hrs, daily; DFDS (http://dfdsseaways.com/). Copenhagen's spanking new ferry terminal is near Nordhavn station, and special shuttle buses the E20 line, timed with the ferries, run between the terminal and the Kongens Nytorv square in the city centre. The previous service to ÅwinoujÅcie in Poland was recently retired, but it's still possible to catch a ferry from Ystad about an hours drive from Copenhagen bridge toll included in the ticket or by the 4.59 PM IC Bornholm train. DFDS Seaways also run a ferry from England to Denmark, (http://www.dfdsseaways.co...) Esbjerg where you can drive to Copenhagen in about 3 hours.
If you are arriving under your own sail, Copenhagen has several marinas, the biggest of which is Svanemøllehavnen (http://smhavn.dk). There are no designated visitor berths but it is almost always possible to find one with a green sign. Daily charge: 75-120 Kr. Copenhagen is also a very popular port of call for cruises touring both the Baltic Sea and the Norwegian fjords. The port is located north of the Little Mermaid statue and is a forty minute walk from the centre Tivoli Gardens.
By plane
Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport (http://cph.dk/CPH/UK/MAIN/) CPH on Amager is the hub for Scandinavia's largest international carrier SAS â Scandinavian Airlines (http://scandinavian.net/). Kastrup Airport consistently gets high marks for both design and function â this is a much more pleasant place for transit than, say, London Heathrow or Frankfurt and several carriers service direct intercontinental routes to Copenhagen, including; Air Canada, Delta, Egypt Air, PIA, Qatar Airways, Thai, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines. Check-in lines can get long during peak hours however, so make sure to allocate extra time in the summer. Self-service check-in counters are available, which can cut down on wait times.
A number of low-cost carriers also fly to the airport. EasyJet (http://easyjet.com/) serves Copenhagen from London Stansted, Manchester, Milan, Geneva, Paris CDG and Berlin Schönefeld. Air Berlin (http://airberlin.com/) flies direct to Düsseldorf, Berlin and Palma de Mallorca. Norwegian (http://norwegian.com/) offers budget flights to amongst others to Oslo, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Budapest, Paris, Geneva, Vienna and Warsaw. Cimber Sterling (http://cimbersterling.com/) operates many routes, e.g., London Gatwick, Prague, Newcastle, Barcelona Rome and Athens.
It takes twelve minutes by train to get from Kastrup to the central station Hovedbanegården in the city centre. You need a ticket for three zones which can be purchased from one of the automated vending machines or the ticket counter located inside the atrium and costs 36 Kr for a single journey. The Copenhagen Metro (http://m.dk/) also connects Kastrup with central Copenhagen, with trains leaving every four minutes during the day and every fifteen minutes at night, taking fourteen minutes to the city center for the same ticket and price of 36.00 Kr.
The airport has different stations for mainline trains Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup Station and for the metro Lufthavnen Station, both are located within Terminal 3. Another metro station is named Kastrup but has nothing to do with the airport although it is relatively close.
For more details, see this subject under the district Amager.
Consider Sturup Airport MMX in Malmö, Sweden as well â it's only 40 minutes by bus from central Malmö, and from there 30 minutes by train to Copenhagen Central Station. Wizzair (http://wizzair.com/) from Budapest, Gdansk, Katowice, and Warszawa and a few domestic airlines often offer cheap flights to other Swedish cities. There is one daily direct bus by GrÃ¥hundbus, otherwise change in Malmö. Consider the price of transfer as most low cost destinations served at Sturup are also available at Kastrup Airport.
By train
Links between the capital and the rest of the country are frequent and excellent. There are several trains each hour to Malmö and further to Lund and Gothenburg. There are 12 daily connections on weekdays to Stockholm. Further train services exist in the direction of Karlskrona and Kalmar. There are six fast connections to Hamburg and one to Berlin. Night trains exist for Amsterdam, Köln, Frankfurt, Basel and Prague.
From the rest of Denmark connections are frequent and numerous. In Jutland several railway branches from Aarhus/Aalborg in the North, Struer in the north-west, Esbjerg to the west, and finally Sønderborg in the south convene in Fredericia, where they connect to a main line with up to four intercity trains per hour, divided into Express and Intercity trains, which runs across Funen before crossing the Great Belt Storebælt. From there it reaches across the length of Zealand before terminating at Copenhagen's central station. If you are going in the reverse direction without a seat reservation, be mindful that the train is often broken up at Fredericia to serve the different branches, so if you don't have seat reservation, it's a bad idea just picking a random carriage in Copenhagen. All cross belt trains are operated by DSB Danish State Railways (http://dsb.dk).
From the island of Bornholm, a high speed ferry shuttles passengers to Ystad in Sweden, where the IC-Bornholm train awaits the ferry to shuttle passengers to final stretch to Copenhagen, the whole trip takes little over three hours, and a one-way combined ferry/train ticket will set you back 245 Kr.
Across the Ãresund strait in Sweden, the Ãresundstog (http://dsbfirst.dk) trains departs from various towns in Southern Sweden, and via Lund and Malmö crosses the Ãresund fixed link to Copenhagen, with a stop at the airport. The journey time from Malmö to the central station is 25 minutes and trains run every ten minutes all day on this stretch, and every hour during the night. A one way ticket between Malmö and Copenhagen is 75 Kr. Swedish Railways (http://sj.se) operates up to seven X2000 express trains from Stockholm every day five and a half hours. An easy change in Malmö almost doubles that number and also gives you the option of a night train connection.
To continental Europe, Eurocity trains connect Hamburg with Copenhagen, up to six times per day; a single one of those trains runs directly from Berlin daily. Standard prices are â¬130 from Berlin and â¬78 from Hamburg, but it's often possible to find discounted tickets â in Denmark those are called Orange Tyskland or "sightseeing fares" which are the same price as bus. There are also night train connections from Munich fourteen hours, Basel fifteen hours, Amsterdam fifteen hours and Prague sixteen hours operated by the German railways Deutsche Bahn (http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en).
