Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Copenhagen is from March to August, offering pleasant weather and vibrant events. Spring, from March to May, provides milder temperatures and fewer crowds, while summer brings lively festivals and music, making the city more bustling. June through August offers comfortable temperatures. Copenhageners take advantage of this time to enjoy outdoor activities like swimming in the surrounding ocean and harbours. Alternatively, the winter months, from December to February, represent the most affordable period with lower prices on accommodations and airfare. Despite chilly temperatures, this time is ideal for indoor activities like exploring museums and cafés. Additionally, winter in Copenhagen showcases magical Christmas festivities, contributing to the city's cosy and enchanting atmosphere.

Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup (CPH)

Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup (CPH)

Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is located just eight kilometres from the centre of the city. As the largest and busiest airport in Scandinavia, it comprises three terminals, with international arrivals primarily processed in Terminal 3. Various transportation options connect the airport to the city centre, ensuring a quick journey of about 15 to 35 minutes. Trains departing every ten minutes from Copenhagen Central Station offer a 15-minute commute, with convenient connections to the city and beyond via metro, train, S-train, or bus. The Metro operates around the clock, providing efficient travel to key locations, while buses offer a more economical but lengthier 35-minute ride to the central station. Taxis are available outside Terminal 3 but represent the priciest option. Travellers holding a Copenhagen Card enjoy free, unlimited public transport within the entire capital region, covering trips to/from Copenhagen Airport. The card also grants free entry to over 80 attractions and museums, along with discounts at various establishments.
