Tickets & prices

Tickets for Copenhagen's metro, bus and train services are all integrated in Greater Copenhagen, which makes a metro ticket valid for the buses and trains as well.

Where to buy your ticket?

Always buy a ticket before boarding the train or metro. You can buy your ticket in ticket machines, which accept Danish cash and the most common credit cards, or 7 Eleven kiosks at the train and metro stations. In Copenhagen Airport arrival hall and at Copenhagen Central Station there is a DSB ticket office as well as ticket machines. Please note that not all ticket types/travel cards are for sale via machines. Onboard the buses in Copenhagen, you also have the possibility to buy your ticket from the driver, if you bring small change.

The same ticket can be used in the metro, bus, train and harbour bus. Always have your ticket with you in case a conductor wants to see it. Travelling without a valid ticket will result in a fine of up to DKK 1000.

Pay with your smartphone or online

Download the app "DOT Billetter" in App Store and Google Play and pay for your tickets on the go. Click "Indstillinger" (settings) followed by "Sprog" (language) to select English version. From there you can select the fare you need and enter your credit card details.

You can also buy your bus, train and metro tickets online.

Which type of ticket do you need?

If you are looking for a regular single trip ticket, it depends on the number of zones you want to travel in. You can use a single trip ticket for both bus, harbour bus, train and metro, as long as you do not travel beyond the zones and the time frame of your ticket. 

Copenhagen Card

With a Copenhagen Card in hand you don’t have to worry about zones and ticket prices, as you get unlimited transportation in the entire Capital Region (including to/from Copenhagen Airport). In addition, you get free admission to more than 80 attractions and museums as well as discounts on several restaurants, cafés, sightseeing activities etc. 

The Copenhagen Card is valid for 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours.

The Copenhagen Card is 100% digital and works through our app 'Copenhagen Card City Guide', which can be downloaded for free via App Store or Google Play
