Where do you buy a metro or train ticket at Copenhagen Airport?

Buy before you board: there are no ticket gates.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In Terminal 3 you can buy tickets at ticket machines in the baggage claim area and on the platforms, and at the DSB ticket office. You can also use the Rejsebillet or Rejsekort apps. There are no barriers at the metro, so you must buy your ticket before you get on. As of November 2026 travelling without a valid ticket costs a fine of DKK 750. DSB ticket machines accept Danish coins and major credit cards.

Why

  1. Machines are already in the baggage claim area.
  2. Apps let you buy before you even land.
  3. Ticket checks happen on board, not at gates.

Details

A City Pass for zones 1–4 includes the airport and gives unlimited travel for 24 hours for 100 kr. as of November 2026.

Tip

Buy your ticket while you wait for your luggage, so you can go straight to the train or metro.

What may differ

The opening hours of the DSB ticket office can change, but machines and apps work around the clock.

Common misconception

You can buy a ticket on board the metro.

What actually happens

The metro has no ticket sales on board, so buy at a machine or in an app before you get on.
