For a first-time or even repeat visitor to Copenhagen, this card was indispensable. The inclusion of transit and highlights all in one place makes navigating and planning much easier in a city with a lot to do and see.
Great value for transport and attractions, as long as you make the most of it. Bought a 72hr pass which worked out great
Unless you plan on an attraction marathon then I question the value. My advice is to plan ahead and do the maths, before you purchase.
The Copenhagen Card was easy to use and really worthwhile if you plan to see a lot of sights (castles, museums, etc.). Public transportation also included. I am sure we saved a ton of money using the card vs paying for things individually!
We bought a 48 hour Copenhagen Discover Card and it was worth it but be aware that you need to download the app if you buy online - not sure if you can buy a physical card? We used it for Tivoli - only allowed entry once using the card and it doesn't cover all of the cost, you have to pay for rides although this is discounted. Great for public transport use. We also used it for a canal trip, a visit to Cistern. Very easy to use and widely accepted.
Great value card and app to help you explore
The Copenhagen Card is the perfect travel companion. It is easy to use and you download the app ahead of time and then initiate the card time when you are ready to use it.
Works as promised. But note you do have to download an app to use the card. If you travel without cell service, even though wifi is readily available, it may make it hard to use.
Excellent. Easy to use the transport. Easy to use the card for attractions. Rosenberg castle we had to wait only 1.5 hours for entry time after visiting ticket office and Ikono and Natural history museum filled in nicely for that time. Same for the canal tour only 20 mins wait after visiting ticket office For everything else we went straight in. Saved a fortune booking 3 days card.
This service and app is very useful to a first time visitor to a new city. Provides a long and healthy list of attractions and things to do. It really helped me arrange my itinerary of what to see on the same day. Bonus: the same card get you around all day on Copenhagen's clean efficient metro system. No need to shell out more money or to download another app.
We had a great time using the Copenhagen card. The flexibility to go to the things we wanted and it included our transportation was great. Great way to see the city.
Excellent value for money with up to 80 attractions and the transport thrown in. Denmark is the most expensive country in the world!
Although this card covers over 80 places, it is surprising what it does not cover. We had the 2 day pass, only being able to use the card 3 times, so not worth the money. Unless you intend to go to a lot of the places covered by the card, you are better off just paying as you go. To be fair, there is a cost saving calculator on the website, so if you know all of the places that you are going to visit, it will tell you if the card will be economical or not, but that requires quite a bit of planning
Well worth the cost especially with free transit. We hit 4-5 spots a day. You have to really do some advance planning to see where everything is and how to get there using mass transit. Yes, it was exhausting but you only live once. Kronberg Castle was a family favorite and very different from other castles we’ve visited. We also enjoyed the Viking ship museum.
Good value for active sightseers. Includes travel on metro, buses and river bus as well as a canal tour. Annoying that we could not pre-book Rosenborg Castle, whilst all non-card holders can. Made us feel less special.
We stayed in Copenhagen for 5 days and got the Discover card which allowed us to go wherever we wanted on the metro and regional transit. We found the number of experiences covered to be completely worth the money. We even squeezed in a couple extra experiences just because they were included. During our whole trip, we only did 2 things that were not covered by the card, so it felt like a big money saver. We appreciated not having to stand in ticket lines or worry about using our credit card for every single ticket.
Highly recommend this card! Easy to get around on their public transportation system and great places to visit. We did so much and explored more than we would have without it. Definitely worth it and we’ll buy again when we go back.
Very easy to download the App, and then activate tickets on the phone. We bought a 3 day ticket and then added on a 4th day once we realised just how good the experience was. I think the card ended up costing us 1339DKK as we added the day, but cost of places we visited was over 2000DKK and thats without adding on any trains we used.
We booked our cards directly with the site and then installed the app on our phones before activating from our email while we were at the central station in Copenhagen. It was a fairly quick and painless process. We purchased a 3 day pass and used it mainly for attractions and transit in the city. We felt it saved us enough time and hassle to justify the cost as it was a simple one-stop-shop for most things. When this was paired with being slightly ahead on the general access to attractions, it was a definitive positive for us. My only issue was that I had to update my app on the 2nd day and re-enter my information, so it was a good thing I still had the original email in my inbox. Otherwise, that would have been a hassle.
Even if it didn’t save money (which it definitely did) the convenience of being able to just walk onto and off the metro as well as into any interesting looking museum was unbeatable! Having attractions in Roskilde, Hillerod and Helsingor included made it easy and convenient to move around - and it was definitely worth the trips out of Copenhagen. Definitely recommend for all visitors.
Highly recommend getting a Copenhagen card. It’s good for free rides on busses, the Metro, S trains and water taxis. Plus it gets you into most attractions for free. Ours paid for itself. Especially liked being able to hop on a train to and from the airport.
Loved having the card. We visited a few places we wouldn’t have without it. Easy to use. Metro use was an added bonus that we didn’t expect to use but used ALOT .
Very handy to be able to use the transport in and out of the city. Incredibly easy to use and after two attractions it has paid for itself. We don't recommend the Viking Boat museum. Not worth the time to get there. The castles are the way to go!
Loved it ! Lots to see and do had a lovely city break . Weather was kind hotel was great and in an excellent location.
Having the card takes away some flexibility, like most places do not allow you to pre-book, so you need to show up and hope it is available. Another oddity is that they offer a lower price card for kids 12-15 (and free under that), but 16 and 17 seem to be at adult price, but many key attractions have free admission under 18. It appeared that it made sense for us to get the card, so we did, but alas, due to the cold several attractions we planned on going to were closed. At the end of the day, we would have been better off buying a la carte and it would have been cheaper.
I got this card and saved myself well over $100. I was in Copenhagen for nearly three days, but timed it to start at 1 pm one day (after a walking tour) and end when I go to the airport. I packed in so many attractions and loved knowing that I paid once and was good to go. Highly recommend this if you're the type to want to do a bunch of things.
Great card, well used and covered so many experiences. Saved us a lot of money. Two adults and 2 children. Had a great time. So easy to use.
Lines was an amazing guide. she was very knowledgeable about the area. the pastry was amazing!! definitely recommend!!
So worth it. Saved money and the activities offered were wonderful. Took two grandchildren am they were covered too
Easy to redeem through the Copenhagen card app. Convenient for travelling around Copenhagen and visiting attractions.
if you are interested in a lot of signtseeing , this is a great card, esp with the ones that has free travel on metro .you can activate when to start it for 2 4, 48 72 hour increments we definitely saw more because it was all included
Great value! We bought a three day card and immediately started using it on our arrival in Copenhagen. From public transportation to entrances to palaces and castles, the card matched perfectly with what we wanted to do in Copenhagen.
The card was great for unlimited travel around the city and all you could go to attractions. Be sure to remember that most things are closed Monday. Do the math on what the individual tickets cost and you’ll find it’s quickly a good deal (in an expensive city)
We made good use of the Card on public transport, and visits to Tivoli Gardens, the Danish Resistance Museum and the Zoo, all of which we would highly recommend, It was easy to use and well worth the price.
I made a huge… Huge mistake of not purchasing this card. If you visit one or two places, do one or two activities, and ride the metro a few times, you have more than made up the cost of this card. Sadly, I did not do that and I’ve already spent at least twice the cost of the card. Don’t make the same mistake I did! I’m a human/hominid. Not a bot nor AI… Nor a paid reviewer! You’ll be more than happy you purchased this, even if you’re only here a day or two.
Loved this card I bought the 96 hours one and it saved me a lot of money. Really easy to use but do note you can't skip lines with it. I visited Kronborg and Frederiksborg in outside of Copenhagen and this card included the train and entrance to both. It also meant I could just jump on the Metro in Copenhagen whenever I wanted as all included and the return journey to the airport.
We purchased the Copenhagen Card and I can really recommend it if you plan to visit a lot of places. You only activate the card once you arrive in Copenhagen, and it gives you access to public transport as well as around 80 attractions. If you enjoy visiting several sites, it definitely works out cheaper this way. It’s very simple to use: just show your digital card at the entrance of each attraction, they scan it, and you can start your visit right away.
Worked great, we bought this ahead of time and then used the codes in the voucher under the barcode to redeem in the app. It was a huge relief to have all transportation covered, and we did get scanned on Metro, train, and s-train! It also was money well spent to go to all the attractions we saw.
We purchased a five day Copenhagen card for our recent visit. The cost was £156, per person. Most of the museums and attractions are priced at about £17, and we visited at least three per day. On some days we visited four. Travel is included and so it is easy to move between locations during the day. We visited all of the attractions we wanted to and a few that we were less interested in. However they were also enjoyable. The direction finding through the app was great, really easy linking to google maps. The only pre booking needed was the Carlsberg experience. This was easy on the website after activation of the card. Rosenborg palace issue a visit time after you arrive. We arrived early and had no wait. Just need to plan your arrival time. I would recommend the card if you want to see as much as possible. Better value for more days (3 to 5). We were really pleased with what we were able to do in 5 days.
1)You can not book almost anything online using the city card. You need to go to ticket office, stand in the long line, and buy your ticket, and only for the same day, you can not buy for tomorrow. And then wait for it, cause it will not be right now. 2)They do not have any support line or online chat which you can call or text and solve your problem quickly. And their e-mail is not helpful at all. 2)Tried to book the evening bus tour with live guide using my hop card. It was 17th of August, I bought the ticket for same day, and even asked if the tour will find a place since there was an Ironman event in the city. I was insured that it will happen and that the location is as usual. The ticket was sold. 10 mins before the departure I went to other closest ticket office and was once more insured that it will happen. On the end bus never came, I went back to ticket office, stood one more line to find out that the cashier can not do anything about it and can not rebook it for tomorrow and insured me that I can come tomorrow and exchenge it for the next day. I came the next day, again, stood the long line to find out, that this day the season is over and there are no more bus tours with guide. After I contacted Stromma via e-mail I was told that I get nothing and that my booking was canceled even if it was not 3)In the end I bought this HOP city card only cause of this bus tour and in the end it turned out that out of those 3 days of this card validity one day it was canceled and next day the season is over. Why do you even sell this card with promoting this tour if the season is over?
Learn the difference between the trains in Copenhagen such as STrain vs Metro vs DBS. A bit confusing but the CPH card literature and online helps a lot. We had 4 day and we went all over and used the Harbor Bus and all train options. And we used it for many entrances to many museums and castles and canal ride and. To Helsinor and more like Louisiana modern Museum and Hirshbirg collection which were soooo good too. Well worth the price. We’ve been in CPH but first time buying the card and as elderly well worth it for short or long trips.
Well organized and clear instructions. Enjoyed the boat tour! Such a beautiful city to visit. Unfortunately we experienced quite a bit of rain so we were not able to fully visit Tivoli Gardens. Such a beautiful place!
Compare the cost of individual entrance fees. For us it made sense and we ended up saving around $200 USD versus buying everything separately.
This was worth doing if you are going to stay in the city and hop from attraction to attraction. Some were better than others, but there are so many to choose from that you will find ones you like, and the entrance fees are so expensive in general that it was much nicer to buy the pass, hop from place to place and not worry about how much each one cost. This way when some were "fine" but not thrilling (like the river boat tour, or some of the palaces), we didn't feel like we had paid $30 a person for a one hour "just ok" activity. And when we found museums we otherwise might not have rushed to see (like the architecture museum or the Jewish Museum or the Enigma museum of communication), we really were glad we were forcing ourselves to squeeze in as much as we could on the pass! We also felt like we got 4 days for 3, since we started it mid-afternoon on Tuesday, went to one museum and then to Tivoli at night, had 2 full days, and then entered a few museums on Friday - hitting the last one 5 minutes before our pass ran out!
Can't book Rosenborg or the canal cruises in advance. Found that it didn't save any money because there were offers at the individual attractions when we got to them. Convenient. But wouldn't recommend.
There were a lot of activities to see and experience with this card. It was definitely worth the price.
This is good value for money if you do a little bit of planning before hand. I went into a few attractions that I would not have otherwise visited. I got the 48 hour pass which meant I could start about 1pm Sunday afternoon, use it all of Monday and then entered my final attraction at around 12.30pm on Tuesday. Some attractions, e.g. Christiansborg Palace and Church of Our Saviour tower usually require you to book a timeslot during busy periods. I don't know if Christiansborg Palace can be booked online. Church of Our Saviour could. Please note that many attractions are closed on Mondays. The site does allow you to filter for those that are open on Mondays so you can plan accordingly.
Makes it very easy in the Copenhagen area. A lot of places included for most requirements including a well worth it canal cruise. No fiddling with tickets or passes each time when on public transport which is plentiful. We wandered around Copenhagen and Roskilde having a great time.
The Copenhagen Card was a good value and very easy to download and use in the Copenhagen Card app. We were able to use easily public transportation (busses, the S train, and the subway) for the duration of our trip, and were able to get into every sight on our wishlist.
Worked great and took complication out of the equation. While it's debatable about value based on what you actually have time for and can see, the simplicity is clear and worked for my situation in trying to find things for my family to do.
