Q: When to Visit Copenhagen?

May - Early June is the best time to visit Copenhagen as it is during the beginning of the peak season when the city is not as crowded and not as expensive as in late June - August. The weather during this shoulder season is quite manageable at around 16°C - 20°C, not as extreme as in the Scandinavian neighbors. September is also a good time, but the weather is starting to get colder by the day, so do prepare yourself accordingly and pack some layers.

Question 2

How to Get to Copenhagen?

Accepted Answer

You can fly into Copenhagen if you are coming from outside of the EU. For the best possible deal, I always browse the airfare comparison website, Skyscanner or Expedia, to find cheap flights for the trip.

If you are already in Europe and are on a budget, you can also take a bus from anywhere with Flixbus for only a few EUR.

Question 3

How to Get Around Copenhagen?

Accepted Answer

Copenhagen is an extremely walkable city with many tourist attractions, all concentrated around the city center, so you do not have to rely on any mode of transportation when visiting Copenhagen.

If you are looking to go further, trains, buses, and the metro are very reliable and punctual, and they can take you everywhere in the city and beyond. A single trip ticket (for traveling within 2 zones) will cost you 24 DKK (3.76 USD), and the ticket can be used on all 3 modes of transportation (trains, buses, and the metro).

You can buy the ticket from the DSB ticket office or the ticket machines at the central train station. If you have small changes, you can buy the ticket directly from the bus driver.
