Does the Copenhagen Card cover the metro and train from Copenhagen Airport?
Check which card type you have.
Short answer
The Copenhagen Card DISCOVER includes the metro, the train and the bus between Copenhagen Airport and the city, as long as the card is active during the journey. The Copenhagen Card HOP does not include airport transport, so with HOP you need an ordinary ticket, estimated at DKK 30 in 2026. No Copenhagen Card covers taxis. DISCOVER gives free public transport in zones 1–99 and is sold for 24, 48, 72 or 120 hours.
Why
- DISCOVER covers metro, train and bus to and from the airport.
- HOP does not cover the airport trip.
- The card must be active during the journey.
Details
A City Pass for zones 1–4 is another option for the airport, at 100 kr. for 24 hours as of November 2026.
Tip
Activate a DISCOVER card before you board at the airport, so the ride into town counts as part of its time.
What may differ
Card types and what they include can change, so check the current terms when you buy.
Common misconception
Every Copenhagen Card includes the trip from the airport.
What actually happens
Only the DISCOVER card covers airport transport; the HOP card does not.
