Where are wheelchair accessible toilets in Copenhagen?
Accessible toilets, ceiling lift and Changing Places
Short answer
Copenhagen has 106 accessible public toilets out of 177, and they are free to use, as of November 2026. The toilet at Nørre Voldgade 15A near Nørreport has a ceiling lift. At Vester Søgade 2A there is a locked toilet for people with extensive mobility impairments, which can be used with a helper. It is Denmark's first certified Changing Places toilet, and you apply for access through Danske Handicaporganisationer.
Why
- More than half of the public toilets are accessible.
- One central toilet has a ceiling lift.

Tip
