Taxi
All the taxis in Copenhagen are mostly modern vehicles which are licensed and equipped with meters. They can be hired on the street or you can call by phone. If the light on the top of the taxi is turned on, it is available. Tips are not expected as the fares already include a service charge. You can pay either with credit card or cash, in Danish Krone. Any other currency is not accepted.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Denmark has one of the most efficient and reliable public transportation infrastructures in the world. The Greater Copenhagen area is divided into zones. Travelling through these zones can be combined using metro, bus and train as long as the ticket is valid. At the stations and bus stops you can find maps that will show you the different zones. Even if you travel only within one zone, the minimum charge is for two zones.
You can buy your ticket at the station’s ticket office or from the automatic machines inside the station. Passengers not holding a valid ticket will be fined 750DKK.
The “Rejsekort” is an electronic card that is valid in all trains, buses and metro. With the “rejsekort” you do not need to buy a ticket and count zones. The card must be checked in at a card reader at the start and the end of each journey, and the system will automatically calculate the price of the journey; failure to do so will result in a fine.
For more information contact the Copenhagen Central Station ticket office or consult this website: https://www.rejsekort.dk/?sc_lang=en
If you are travelling regularly or daily between the same two stations, you can choose to purchase a monthly card. For more information, contact one of the station ticket offices directly.
You can also install the app Rejseplanen on your phone.
