Copenhagen Airport to Copenhagen

Metro Line M2

Driverless Metro line M2 runs from Copenhagen Airport station at Terminal 3 toward Vanløse, stopping at central stations including Kongens Nytorv and Nørreport in about 12–15 minutes; trains run every 4–6 minutes by day and 15–20 minutes at night, 24/7 service. Tickets are sold at airport metro/DSB machines and use the same zonal fare as other public transport.

DSB regional train to København H

DSB regional trains from the airport’s underground station (København Lufthavn/Kastrup) run to Copenhagen Central Station (København H) in roughly 13–15 minutes, with departures about every 10 minutes in daytime and 20 minutes or hourly late at night. The same 3‑zone ticket covers airport–city trips and connections onward from Central Station.

DSB/SJ trains to Nørreport/Østerport

Many DSB and Swedish SJ trains serve København Lufthavn/Kastrup and continue via Nørreport and Østerport in under 15 minutes, giving fast access to the northern and eastern edge of the city centre. Use standard 3‑zone tickets or passes valid in the Greater Copenhagen area.

Movia bus 5C

Movia bus line 5C runs 24 hours a day from outside Terminal 3 toward Herlev via Copenhagen Central Station and other central corridors; buses run about every 10 minutes in the day, less frequently late evenings and as little as hourly overnight. The journey to Central Station typically takes 30–40 minutes depending on traffic and uses the same 3‑zone ticket as metro and trains.

Airport taxi rank (metered city taxis)

Metered taxis wait outside the arrivals area at Terminals 2–3 and provide direct service to central districts such as around Central Station or Nørreport in about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Fares are fixed by meter with typical airport–city trips costing roughly DKK 250–350 according to recent public guidance.
