Getting there and around

Airport
Copenhagen airport is 9km (6mi) southeast of the city centre; a 12-minute train ride from Central Station or a 15-minute dash from the centre in a taxi. A local bus service (No 250S) connects the airport with Råuspladsen, the city's central square, and also with Central Station, but takes 35 minutes.
Denmark's domestic carrier, Maersk Air, links the capital with Billund, Esbjerg and Rønne.

Public transport
The city's extensive public transport system comprises a metro rail network called S-train, with 10 lines passing through Central Station, and a bus system called HT that uses Radhuspladsen as its main terminal. Fares for both are charged according to a zone system, with a variety of single, multiple-ride or daily tickets available. In October 2002 a new underground metro system opened with limited routes, using the same tickets as trains and buses. Taxis are a good, albeit expensive, alternative to getting behind the wheel. Excellent bike paths, lots of bike racks and no hills make cycling a great option for getting around; just remember to lock up your bike. Similarly, Copenhagen is eminently walkable. If you want to explore Copenhagen's waterways, various companies run organised boat tours around the city's canals.
